Delicate, but nicely concentrated, with flower and fruit nicely integrated. Meyer lemon, tangerine, pear and even a hint of candied papaya mingle beautifully, set in a fine-tuned frame of acid and mineral.

This full-bodied Riesling checks in at 12% alcohol and roughly 2% residual sugar. All in balance, the sweetness and acidity wrap around deliciously luscious fruit flavors of peach and nectarine, melon and sweet apple.

From a vineyard in southern Oregon that is actually its own, self-contained AVA (Red Hill Douglas County), this is a well-structured Pinot Noir with grip and authority. There is a noticeable smokiness to both nose and palate, not unpleasant, and the fruit is tight and supple. Black cherry and blackberry flavors are set in charred wood tannins, but everything is in…

A palate-pleasing, off-dry white, with a mix of peach and pear, some nice highlights of baking spices, and good texture through the finish.

Bing cherry, plum, rhubarb and cedar elements meld handsomely on the nose of this tasty medium-weight wine. Attractive clove, chocolate and licorice accents add interest; more than one taster complimented the ripe mouthfeel. Finishes long with modest tannins. Offers a lot to like, and should be even better in one to two years.

A really nice wine, refreshing and light, with delicate lemon-grapefruit flavors complexed with creamy lees. The acidity is very crisp and assertive. No discernible oak at all, and with this pretty fruit and structure, it doesn’t need any.

Light and fresh, tart and marked with spice and mixed citrus fruits. A style well-suited for shellfish or poultry, and more reminiscent of Italian Pinot Grigios than many Oregon bottlings.

Oak Knoll’s Pinot Gris is a sturdy, steady expression of the grape’s main strengths. Vintage in and vintage out, the wine has plenty of ripe apple and pear fruit flavors, with citrusy highlights and a splash of refreshing acidity.
