Organic/Bio Named for Stephen’s skateboarding and sheepherding son, Juel represents this unique winery as a whole. In 2022, it’s one six-ton fermenter filled with fruit picked from all four corners of the vineyard... Read More
Organic/Bio There’s something joyfully incongruous about a bearded outdoors guy who wears flannel, farms his vineyard with horses, chickens, sheep, geese and (his own) children, and waxes on passionately about the quality... Read More
Organic/Bio The edges of Antiquum Farm’s “Big Field” vineyard are kind of the far edge of what Pinot Noir can do. The winemaking is simple enough – fully de-stemmed fruit, open top fermenters, a bit of... Read More
One of the longest-running high-quality “value” Pinots we know of. As Robert Parker said of the 2013 edition: An authentic tasting Pinot Noir that sells for a song. Aromas of sweet red and black cherry fruit intermixed... Read More
Brick & Mortar is really a California sparkling house, meaning they grow a lot of cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. When Pinot gets a bit too ripe for fizz, it’s perfect for elegant, pure, juicy still wines like this... Read More
Organic/Bio This is sunshine in a bottle and for winemakers in Burgundy, 2022 came as “a year of relief,” or at least according to the Berthelemot family. There is a freshness about this wine that just makes you get... Read More

A very fine, honest, enjoyable Bourgogne Pinot Noir that definitely doesn't break the bank. It's super fresh right now, almost like a barrel sample, with bright aromas of crushed cherry, raspberry, sweet spice... Read More
Organic/BioIn the 19th Century, the wines of Chitry were sold as “Chablis” and, even today, most wine grown in Chitry is a very Chablis-like Chardonnay. But warmer slopes and ancient limestone soils bring Pinot Noir... Read More
Adam Campbell and team put a lot into their “welcome” Pinot Noir. It’s 100% estate fruit from six different vineyards, fermented in steel with twice daily punchdowns and then given 10 months in not-new French... Read More
Pat and Joe Campbell planted this site in 1985 from Estate Vyd cuttings and named it for the favorite Puccini opera of the folks who sold them the land. Silky and lush are always apt descriptors for La Boheme Pinot Noir's... Read More
One of the best values in Willamette Valley Pinot we’ve tasted in a long while, this has enough texture for solo sipping and enough style to shine at table, too. You’ll find rich, dark, black and Bing cherry fruit... Read More
This wine is stupid good. The blend of ripeness, finesse, purity and flavor intensity would be expected in a great $50 Pinot Noir. For less than half that, the value here is nuts. The 94 point rave from WE for the 2020 applies:... Read More
Considerably more than the “Bourgogne Rouge” Mark Vlossak had in mind when he first created this wine! In 2022 it’s a blend of fruit from Shea, Temperance Hill and Freedom Hill (Willamette Valley elite!) with... Read More
With only 800 cases produced and plenty of customer demand, we’re not sure why a wine that tastes so expensive is still available at such a great value price. But we’re certainly glad that’s the case! It’s... Read More
Lower ABV Chile isn’t known for Pinot Noir – yet. But plantings near the cold Pacific Ocean are starting to delivery a pretty stunning blend of ripeness and freshness with a bit of minerality to boot. These vines from... Read More
With lots from Justice, Koosah, Sojeau, Temperance Hill, Witness Tree, Bracken and X Novo vineyards, 5% whole clusters and 30% new oak, the 2022 Cuvee Ruth is at once creamy and lithe, deep and vibrant. Mostly it’s just... Read More
Just 340 cases made and 7 for the whole state of Virginia – not enough of what just may be the finest Willamette Valley Pinot Noir I’ve ever tasted. The vineyard formerly known as “Sojourner” sits in the... Read More
