Awards and Reviews

2007 Pinot Blanc

  • 88 pts. – Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (April, 2008)
    “Pale straw. Fresh pear and apple on the nose, with subtle anise and thyme qualities adding complexity.
    Gentle orchard fruit flavors turned firmer with air, picking up bitter lemon pith and quinine on the back end. A
    taut, dry wine with good finishing cut and no excess fat.” – Josh Raynolds

2006 Pinot Gris

  • 86 pts. – Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide (July, 2007)
    “Sweet pear and baked apple baked apple dominate, so serve it cold. It could be a fine accompaniment to sweet/spicy Southeast Asian cuisine. Simple, fruity, but appealing to many palates. –PG”
  • RECOMMENDED! Wine Press Northwest (Winter 2007/2008)

2007 Pinot Gris

  • 89 pts. – Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (April, 2008)
    Light silver. Fresh and racy, displaying clean lemon and grapefruit aromas along with white pepper and fresh herbs. Light and precise, offering mouthwatering citrus and green apple flavors, with bracing minerality

    tannins adding grip to the finish. Pretty sexy stuff..” – Josh Raynolds
