Here’s a fruit-packed white wine bursting with flavors of peach and pear. The blend of 62% Muscat and 38% Viognier works beautifully. If you want plenty of fruit, a bit of sweetness, but enough acid to support a food-friendly white wine, this is your bottle.

One generally approaches a $15 Oregon Pinot Noir with extreme caution, but here is a lovely surprise. Clean, soft, balanced and reasonably varietal, this is as good a value as you will find in this price-driven state. The flavors are soft and supple, with butter and caramel streaks strongly evident. Don’t look for big fruit, but what is there is crisp and clean.
