“Cherry cordial, sweet herbs, violet, hints of blue fruit, and lovely purity emerge from the 2024 Pinot Noir Mount Richmond. Medium to full-bodied, it has a silky texture, underlying richness, outstanding clarity, precision, and impressive length. It should only improve with another few years in bottle. Drink 2026-2040.” – Audrey Frick

“A brilliant straw/platinum color, the 2024 Riesling Estate comes from some of the oldest vines in Oregon, dating as far back as 1975. Also bottled under screwcap, it’s bright with lime oil, lemon verbena, jasmine, and grapefruit. Though dry, it has lovely, silky concentration and a kiss of sweet fruit balanced by vibrant acidity. With five grams of residual sugar, it remains wonderfully pure and should easily age another 10 years or more. Drink 2026-2036.” – Audrey Frick
“The 2024 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is a jeweled ruby color and leaps from the glass with delicate toast, fresh cherries, and refined spice.

“A bright ruby color, the 2024 Pinot Noir Goodrich is youthful and pure, with notes of toast, roses, spice, fresh forest herbs, and wild black raspberries. Medium-bodied, it has silky tannins, stony earth, mouthwatering freshness, and outstanding length. Produced with 45% whole clusters, it should drink beautifully over the coming 12-15 years. Drink 2026-2040.” – Audrey Frick
“A brighter transparent red color, the 2024 Pinot Noir Five Mountain is made without whole clusters and offers preserved strawberry, pomegranate, and bright floral perfume.

“From the highest elevation vineyard they farm, the 2024 Pinot Noir La Boheme offers truffle, a touch of reduction, toast, and black cherry on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, it has appealing richness, a gravelly texture, and excellent structure. Give it a bit more time in bottle and some air if opening soon. Drink 2027-2040.” – Audrey Frick
“A bright jeweled red color, the 2024 Pinot Noir Roosevelt is fantastic, with blood orange shining brightly alongside wild cherry, refined spice, and beautiful purity. Medium-bodied, it has ripe, beautifully defined tannins, terrific energy, and outstanding length. One of my favorites of the tasting. Drink over the coming 20 years. Drink 2027-2047.” – Audrey Frick
