Honeywood Winery NV Gewürztraminer (Columbia Valley (OR))

Online Exclusive

Price $14

As with the winery’s Riesling, no vintage is indicated anywhere on the bottle. Listed at two percent residual sugar, this wine retains enough acid to provide moderate lift to the spicy, almost bitter, pineapple and grapefruit flavors.

Honeywood Winery NV White Riesling

Price $14

Oddly, no vintage is indicated anywhere on the bottle. The wine is sweet and grapey, with a honeyed character that carries through the finish. The acids are a bit flat and dull, but chilled down appropriately it’s a decent quaffer. — P.G. (11/15/2008)

Honeywood Winery 2006 Pinot Noir

Price $24

Far and away the freshest and most interesting of the three vintages submitted for review. The fruit retains more of its youthful gloss; it’s riper and shows more cherry character, along with bright, spicy highlights. The tannins are proportionate and less earthy and herbal. This is no barn-burner, but it’s a good quaffer. — P.G. (11/15/2008)

Honeywood Winery 2004 Pinot Noir

Online Exclusive

Price $24

Simple and blocky, this sturdy Pinot tastes like a throwback to the early days in Oregon. Soft, herbal and tannic, it is the sort of Pinot that one would choose for the most basic comfort foods. — P.G. (11/15/2008)

Honeywood Winery 2005 Pinot Noir

Online Exclusive

Price $24

The 2005 Pinot Noir from Honeywood is a dead ringer for—guess what!—the 2004 Pinot Noir from the same winery. Soft entry, herbal and somewhat stemmy mid-palate, tannic, slightly hot finish. — P.G. (11/15/2008)
