Quady North 2010 Pistoleta White (Rogue Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
This intense, concentrated blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne combines vivid floral aromas with almost candied citrus fruit. It’s seductive and lengthy, with a gamut of scents and flavors from perfume to pastry.

RoxyAnn 2009 Viognier (Rogue Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A gorgeous effort, awash in high-toned floral aromatics, sharply penetrating, and leading to a densely-packed palate of waxy fruit, honeyed spice, Meyer lemon, citrus and stone fruit. Rich, lush, concentrated and long—what more can you ask from a Viognier?

RoxyAnn 2009 Roussanne (Rogue Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
A winner all the way. Estate grown, brilliant green/gold in color, bursting with luscious fruit flavors of lemon and apricot, lemon zest and more. A subtle streak of bee pollen (like dry honey) adds interest, and a tight, piercing spine with suggestions of citrus oil and pine needle keep the tongue wagging happily.

Foris 2000 Pinot Gris (Rogue Valley)
- Best Buy
- $13
Whatever magic Foris works with its Pinot Gris is wonderfully captured in this near-perfect effort. Vibrant and fruity, clean and forward, it is softly scented with fragrant pears and citrus zest. Somehow it is both big and rich, yet still elegant and balanced, with true varietal character. Best Buy.

Foris 2000 Gewürztraminer (Rogue Valley)
- Best Buy
- $11
Oregon rarely gets credit for how good its Gewürztraminers can be. This is a perfect example: a classic, varietal nose shows citrus blossom, baby powder and lychee; it’s both fragrant and slightly exotic. Clean and creamy in the mouth, its floral flavors have elegant textures and surprising length. Best Buy. —P.G.

Foris 2009 Pinot Gris (Rogue Valley)
- Best Buy
- $14
Foris has Pinot Gris dialed in, showcasing the subtle, delicate flavors perhaps closer to Italian Pinot Grigio than other, big, fruity domestic bottlings. The winery location,— in the cool Illinois Valley of southwest Oregon, puts an Alpine twist on the flavors—lemon peel, pineapple, lime, and just a touch of honey.

Griffin Creek 2007 Merlot (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
The scents explode with both dark fruit and dark chocolate, and flavors follow, all wrapped in stiff tannins. A serious effort, this spent 18 months in French oak. It’s a muscular, deep, dark wine, substantial in every way—fruit, tannin and alcohol.
— P.G.

Foris 2009 Dry Gewürztraminer (Rogue Valley)
- Best Buy
- $14
Labeled dry and tasting very much so, this clean, floral-scented Gewürztraminer has a pleasingly dusty aspect; rose petals with a thin veneer of incense. Long and complex.
