Blakeslee 2009 Estate Reserve Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- $38
Round, full, fruity and complex, this polished effort’s flavors runs the gamut from citrus to stone fruit to light tropical. Generous and elegant at once, it finishes with light notes of cracker and grain.

Blakeslee 2009 Estate Chardonnay (Yamhill-Carlton District)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
This clean and leesy Chardonnay was fermented half in stainless, half in neutral oak. Its flavors are apple, melon and celery, with a lightly beery, textural mouthfeel that refreshes and lingers. Just a hint of toast comes up on the finish.

Blakeslee 2009 Estate Pinot Noir
- $28
Good concentration and a classic Oregon Pinot mix of herb and fruit characterize this winning effort. Dried herb, thistle, berry, cherry and a Dr. Pepper streak are all in the mix, with hints of earth and stem.

Blakeslee 2008 Estate Reserve Pinot Noir (Chehalem Mountains)
- $38
Pungent and herbal aromas make for a vivid splash upon entry. The wine quickly evolves into pretty cherry fruit, wrapped in cinnamon, sassafras and cocoa, then runs into gently fading barrel spices.

Solidly fruity, with a mix of apple, pear and peach, this pleasant, easy-drinking Chardonnay plays out broadly across the palate. It is immediately accessible, ready and appears to be at its peak. Light baking spices enhance the finish.

Blakeslee 2009 Estate Riesling (Eola-Amity Hills)

Slightly spritzy and low in alcohol, this dry Riesling has light peach and apricot fruit, spread broadly across the palate. It would be prudent to drink it sooner rather than later.
