Chehalem 2010 three Vineyard Pinot Gris – Pinot Gris/Grigio White Wine
From a cool, low-crop vintage, there are exotic tropical fruit, jasmine, pear juice and papaya aromas and flavors, and racy lemon sorbet and spice palate impressions, set on-edge by great acidity and perfectly balanced minor residual sugar. Perfect food wine.

A to Z 2005 Chardonnay – White Wine
White Wine by A to Z from Oregon. Vivid gold with green highlights. Aromatics of pear, green apple, quince, apple blossom, lime, tangerine, talc and wet stone minerality evolve to include honey, butter, nutmeg and white chocolate.
A to Z 2006 Pinot Gris – Pinot Gris/Grigio White Wine
Yellow gold with beautiful emerald highlights, the initial aromatics are redolent of ripe citrus fruits, acacia flowers, tropical fruits (mango, papaya and kiwis) and lychee. With more time in the glass powdered sugar, honeysuckle, nectarine and pineapple notes all add to the overall aromatic complexity. The concentrated attack is balanced by ripe acidity that gives classic Oregon Pinot Gris proportions to the wine.
The unctuousness of the mid-palate is buttressed by a juiciness that gives definition and focus. The finish rolls seamlessly off the mid-palate and is perhaps the longest of any Pinot Gris A to Z has yet produced.
Argyle 2008 Reserve Pinot Noir – Red Wine
Red Wine by Argyle from Willamette Valley, Oregon. This wine just sings classic Oregon Pinot Noir with delicate floral notes melding with ripe cherry and raspberry wrapped in a light robe of baking spices. The wine has a rich hued Burgundy color
Solena Estate 2009 Pinot Gris – Pinot Gris/Grigio White Wine
White Wine by Solena Estate from Oregon. Attractive floral and spice tones on the nose enhance aromas of citrus fruits, rose blossoms, and vanilla creme. On the palate, round fruity flavors are reminiscent of pink grapefruit, and melon.
