Nice: election night! — a year ago
Very light lemon in color.
Strong nose of citrus, earth, green apples, river rocks, light yeast and minerals.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, green apples, earth, river rocks, bitter herbs, yeast and light spices.
Medium finish with limes and grapefruits.
This is a tasty, yet very young, sparkling wine from Chehalem Mountains in Williamette Valley.
This Single Vineyard Sparkling is elegant with a nice bite.
This 8 year old is already showing nice complexity, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
A good food wine that will pair nicely with oysters.
100% Chardonnay grapes were aged for 5 years on the lees. Made in the Traditional Method.
12% alcohol by volume.

White florals, citrus, wet slate on the nose. Palate has lemon, grapefruit, almond. Is quite tight in range, has nice acidity and minerality. Oak is very well integrated. Comes across as a well-made wine but has less primary fruit character needed to take the complexity to the next level. Leans to Burgundy in style vs California. Would like to try another vintage from this winemaker to see the variation I from year-to-year. — 10 months ago
As good as I remember. Luscious fruit. Good earthy elements. Ripe with a kiss of floral and herbaceousness. — 3 years ago
Drinking in 2025... really bright and lovely. Could not tell it had aged at all. Bright green apple and just a touch of butter. — 20 days ago
Lovely Pinot Noir under $35. At the end of its life, but still good. I’m sure it lost something because of its age but still a correct Pinot Noir in a classic Willamette elegant style. Solid cherry flavor but elegant and not fruity. — 5 months ago
RPG Vineyards, Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Blanc. Bought at winery. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Good acid, syrupy, viscous body, lees character on finish. Complex wine, a lot going on here. Peach and citrus flavors emerge with time. A well crafted entry-level wine from the former winemaker at Adelsheim — 3 years ago

Light reddish in color with light intensity.
Fresh berries on the nose with light cedar notes.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, fresh cherries, light oak, chocolates, black pepper, herbs and light earth.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty Pinot Noir from Chehalem Mountains in Oregon. Showing nice complexity already, but will get even better with more bottle time. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir is spicy and nicely balanced, with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.
Feels like a Russian River Valley Pinot. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (35% new) French oak barrels for 12 months.
