Kramer 2006 Heritage Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $40

From vines planted in 1984, this is the winery’s reserve bottling. Aromas are inviting, varietal and complex, with layers of berry fruits, sassafras, cola and sandalwood. The wine catches the delicacy of the grape along with its unique ability to persist in the mouth despite its lightness. This looks to be ageworthy, elegant and special. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

Kramer 2007 Merlot (Walla Walla Valley (OR))

Online Exclusive

Price $28

Not sure which vineyard sourced the grapes, but this is a flavorful, ready-to-drink bottle of wine. There is substantial evidence of aging in expensive new oak barrels, with a lot of coconut flavor over toast, chocolate and cherry. Tannins are soft and the fruit is round and luscious; except for a slight fall-off in the finish this could be from any one of a number… — P.G. (10/1/2010)

Kramer 2008 Pinot Gris (Yamhill-Carlton District)

Price $15

Easy-drinking and varietal, this displays fresh pear fruit cut with pineapple. It’s forward and juicy, a wine to drink chilled with picnic foods. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

points

Kramer 2002 Reserve Pinot Noir (Yamhill County)

Price $30

There’s a grassy herbal note on top, but the wine is fresh and forward, with mixed, ripe fruits and some root beerish spice in the finish. — W.E. (11/1/2004)

Kramer 2002 Rebecca's Reserve Pinot Noir

Price $35

Quite leafy, with barnyard scents. On the palate there’s citrus peel and earthy, less than fully ripe fruit. — W.E. (11/1/2004)

Kramer 2007 Port Pinot Noir (Yamhill-Carlton District)

Online Exclusive

Price $30

A Pinot Noir Port is a rare creature, and somewhat contradictory. How to match the delicacy of the Pinot Noir grape with the power and punch of Port-style, fortified wines? Here it’s the alcohol and spirits that take over; the Pinot bringing some cherry fruit flavors but lacking the weight and substance to feel authoritative. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

points

Kramer 2002 Estate Pinot Noir

Price $20

Similar to the Rebecca’s, with dead leaf/silage aromas. The fruit shows tart cranberry and a bit of bitter chocolate at the end. — W.E. (11/1/2004)
