The first BeckenRidge bottling since 2001, sourced from a vineyard planted in 1978. Fruit flavors are round and supple, a soft mix of cherry and plum, with herbs and earth flavors framing them. The wine fades gently, clean and delicate, with a finishing note of cinnamon.——P.G.(3/1/2011)—— 88

A splash of tart cherry introduces this charming Pinot Noir, which resemble a country wine from the nether reaches of Burgundy. The alcohol does not touch 13%, yet the flavors are here, with tart berries, a bit of stem, sharp tannins, and a medium-long finish. A great quaffer. ——P.G.(3/1/2011)—— 86

This is a moderately-pleasing effort for its price, modest by Oregon standards. The wine definitely shows its herbal side—don’t look for sweet Pinot fruit here—but it’s balanced and taut, and has much the same shape and style as a village cru Burgundy.——P.G.(11/15/2007)—— 84

Scents of violets and unfermented grapes suggest a prettier wine than is actually here. It’s tart and thin, with cranberry-ish fruit and an artificial, chalky, slightly candied finish. ——P.G.(5/1/2006)—— 83
