"Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year!" (March 20, 2007)

"Second-generation winemaker Adam Campbell crafts Riesling from estate grapes in northern Yamhill County, where he also makes some of the finest Pinot Gris in the state. " (June 30, 2012)

Willamette Valley

2007: Excellent! (December 15, 2009)

2006: Outstanding! "Built to be approachable in its youth, and that's certainly the case. This opens with aromas of black cherries, vanilla, black tea and a hint of tobacco, followed by flavors of ripe cherries and bright raspberries. It's smooth and elegant from the entry to the finish and possesses great structure throughout." (April 1, 2008)

2000: Outstanding! "A Burgundian-style wine with aromas of black fruit, toasted oak and coffee beans. The huge, ripe fruit lasts through a lengthy finish." (June 30, 2002)

Mt. Richmond

2006: Recommended. "This wine reveals aromas of strawberries, ripe cherries and black pepper, along with intense and spicy cherries and loganberries." (April 1, 2008)

Five Mountain

2006: Recommended. "This is a darker-toned red with aromas and flavors of black truffles, mushrooms, plums and chocolate-covered cherries." (April 1, 2008)

La Bohème

2006: Outstanding! "From the opening whiff, this reveals bright aromas of raspberries, Bing cherries, blackberries and allspice. It's a lively wine on the palate, thanks to flavors of charming cherries and ripe raspberries. From the entry to the rich midpalate through the lengthy finish, this wine provides great balance and true elegance." (April 1, 2008)

Windhill

2001: Outstanding! "Under the direction of Adam Campbell, this longtime Yamhill County winery is getting its second wind and producing wines of class and grace. This Pinot Noir speaks to us with its gentle aromas of moist earth, violets and raspberries and flavors of ripe cherries and hints of sweet oak. The velvety tannins will make your knees buckle."
