Iris Vineyards 2008 Pinot Gris

Best Buy

Price $15

A textbook example of Oregon Pinot Gris, this is bursting with citrus and pear fruit. Immaculately clean and crisp, the bright fruit and lively mouthfeel continue into a lingering, satisfying, tangy finish. All stainless- steel fermented. — P.G. (12/15/2010)

Iris Vineyards 2008 Reserve Pinot Noir

Editors' Choice

Price $36

Smooth and already a seamless, complex and compelling whole, this estate-grown reserve overdelivers for the price. Roughly one-fifth new oak balances the modest alcohol, and the just-ripe berry and pomegranate fruit. Light hints of earth, coffee grounds and sassafras add further detail through a lingering finish. — P.G. (6/1/2012)

Iris Vineyards 2006 Reserve Pinot Noir

Price $36

This is estate-grown, moderately ripened to a comfortable level of sweet, plummy fruits and darker olive, anise and coffee flavors. The wine is more complex than it seems at first impression; it moves nicely through the palate, adding a sense of dimension as well as length. — P.G. (10/1/2009)

Iris Vineyards 2009 Pinot Gris

Online Exclusive

Price $15

Tart apple and pear fruit, accented with light green herbs and underscored with vivid acidity mark this wine. The finish is lightly spicy, and it goes down easily. — P.G. (6/1/2012)

Iris Vineyards 2008 Pinot Noir

Price $18

Iris offers a modestly priced, fruity Pinot Noir, with berry and black cherry fruit at its core. A hint of volatility and a slight suggestion of vinegar keep the score from going any higher, but it is a perfectly pleasant wine for everyday drinking. — P.G. (6/1/2012)

Iris Vineyards 2006 Areté Pinot Noir

Price $60

This selection (above reserve) from the estate vineyard has the sort of raisin and prune aromas that suggest super-ripe fruit. It’s tannic and chewy, a style more reminiscent of Shiraz than most Pinot Noirs, and the finish brings the heat. — P.G. (10/1/2009)
