Great News From Wine Enthusiast!

We’ve been notified of some excellent reviews in the October 2019 issue of the magazine – all 90 points and above – including two Editors’ Choice designations! Our Pinot Blanc was awarded 92 points by Wine Enthusiast for the second year in a row, showing that our winemakers are on their game when it comes to this little-known varietal.

92 Pts & Editors’ Choice – 2018 Pinot Blanc

92 Pts  – 2017 Clay Court Pinot Noir

91 Pts & Editors’ Choice – 2018 Pinot Gris

91 Pts – 2017 Mount Richmond Pinot Noir

91 Pts – 2017 Five Mountain Pinot Noir

90 Pts – 2016 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

These review will post in the October 2019 issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine and at winemag.com. According to Senior Tasting Director Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast blind tastes wines for review and rates their wines according to a 100 point scale:

Classic 98-100: The pinnacle of quality.
Superb 94-97: A great achievement.
Excellent 90-93: Highly recommended.
Very Good 87-89: Often good value; well recommended.
Good 83-86: Suitable for everyday consumption; often good value.
Acceptable 80-82: Can be employed in casual, less-critical circumstances.
Wines receiving a rating below 80 are not reviewed.
