2009 Clay Court Pinot Noir:
90 Points “Plummy and broad, this rich pinot has a burly appeal of grenache but with darker, more mineral fruit.” (April 30, 2012)

The quaffable 2022 Elk Cove Pinot Gris also contains slight amounts of Gewurztraminer and Muscat and gifts a bright, light lemon core with a watery rim in the glass. It is wonderfully floral on the nose, giving up notes of sweet green melon, kiwi fruit, white flowers, and sea breeze on the palate. Medium-bodied with a lovely floral note that hits the mid-palate on the finish, this one should drink well for the next 5-6 years.
2008 PInot Blanc Willamette Valley: Pinot Blanc “Value Pick” — “Tending toward the clean, lean side, flavors of zesty green apple and zingy licorice marry with flinty mineral to create a tart and tangy yet satisfying sipper that can go it solo or partner nicely with oysters on the halfshell.” (September 1, 2009)
Our 2017 Five Mountain Pinot Noir was awarded 91 points by Wine Spectator! “Polished and supple, with elegantly layered raspberry, violet and orange peel notes that glide along a lush finish.” – Tim Fish This review posts in the February 2020 issue of the magazine and to subscribers at winespectator.com
2000 Windhill Pinot Noir: 87 Points “Crisp and juicy, appealing for its bright strawberry and floral aromas and flavors, finishing tight and focused. Drink now through 2005.”
“Rich ruby color, lush black cherry nose; silky and juicy with bright cherry fruit…tangy and elegant.”
“The 2021 Pinot Noir Goodrich was grown on marine sediment and made using 50% whole clusters. It has a medium ruby-purple color and layered aromas that disperse slowly from the glass: black cherries, prosciutto, aniseed, fir and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate is savory and generous with concentrated, nuanced fruit, abundant, grainy tannins and loads of spicy accents that fan pleasurably across the finish. It’s a great candidate for 7-10 years in the cellar.” -Erin Brooks
