Erath 2009 Prince Hill Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
Lush and luscious, this is a standout among the 2009 Erath Pinots. The richness of the fruit gives this zaftig wine immense appeal, with deep cherry flavors streaked with gun metal, anise, mocha, and coffee. A lick of dark chocolate ensures a glorious finish.

Erath 2009 Leland Pinot Noir
- Editors' Choice
- $50
Ripe, full-bodied black cherry fruit shines here, with good tannin support. The wine is rich across the palate, with clean, focused, lingering flavors that really extend into a terrifically long finish.

Erath 2009 Hyland Pinot Noir (McMinnville)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
Seriously deep, the weight and concentration immediately apparent, this Hyland Pinot requires extra breathing time, and probably some years in the cellar. Red and black fruits penetrate into a silky, spicy, supple core. It’s a bit lower in alcohol than most of the other single vineyard Pinots from Erath, but all the more cellar-worthy.

Erath 2006 Fuqua Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $50
Very fragrant, aromatic and complex before it even hits your mouth. These 20-year-old vines are moving into full maturity, and carry the cherry fruit and iron core of the best Dundee Hills terroir. Though the alcohol is a bit on the high side (14.7%), the wine remains in balance, with a perfect match of fruit, acid, tannin and barrel.

Erath 2008 Fuqua Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $47
Good concentration, which gives the fruit more plum and black cherry than red raspberry. It’s deep and sinuous, with threads of graphite and smoke, but the fruit is the star here, and the wine has the concentration and acidity to cellar well for a decade or more.

Erath 2009 Niederberger Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $50
A dark streak runs straight through this excellent Pinot. It’s a whirl of smoke and chocolate, focused right through the core of rum-soaked cherries. Tannic and deep, big and bold—pull this out for your heartiest meal.

Erath 2009 Tuenge Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- $50
The Tuenge (tongue-GEE) Vineyard was originally Chehalem Mountain Vineyard, first planted almost 40 years ago. A complex nose of spiced plums and cherries opens into a fruit-laden midpalate, adding blackberries and a thin vein of citrus. Firmly tannic, this precise, sculpted effort brings a refined structure, with just a whiff of volatility.

Erath 2006 Bishop Creek Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
The first Bishop Creek designation from Erath, this dark-toned, deep and concentrated Pinot Noir is one to cellar. The fruit is seamless, sappy and dense, suggesting a mix of ripe berries. Fourteen months in French oak, about 40% new, seems just right, as the barrel notes of toast and coffee dance around the juicy berry flavors without smothering them.
