Hawks View 2009 Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $35

In 2009 this estate-grown Pinot Noir appears to have been pushed to the limit, with alcohol at 15% behind concentrated, cherry cordial-flavored fruit. Nonetheless it seems in perfect balance, with excellent focus and a genuine sense of terroir. Sassafras and cola add complexity to a lingering, concentrated finish. — P.G. (12/1/2011)

Hawks View 2009 Pinot Gris (Chehalem Mountains)

Price $24

Estate grown, crisp and nicely defined, with a pretty mix of apple, pear, peach and apricot flavors. The fruit is framed with citrus rind (orange and grapefruit) and keeps the wine tight and focused through a clean, lingering finish. — P.G. (3/1/2011)

Hawks View 2008 Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)

Online Exclusive

Price $35

Medium weight, round and tangy, this shows a core of cranberry/cherry fruit, a whiff of cola and a suggestion of the tack room. It’s a detailed and somewhat earthy Pinot Noir. From the estate vineyard, it’s what you hope to find in Oregon— Pinot that is artisanal, a little quirky, distinctive and above all, enjoyable. Fades just a bit too quickly. — P.G. (3/1/2011)
