Coeur de Terre 2009 Pinot Gris (McMinnville)
- $17
Already showing some tawny color, this is a drink-up-quickly bottle. Softly fruity, it also carries a hint of residual sweetness, honeysuckle and Earl Grey tea. Right now it is drinking nicely, with pear tart, brioche and a little honey and vanilla crème running through the finish.

Coeur de Terre 2009 Riesling (Willamette Valley)
- $19
Made half in stainless steel and half in neutral oak, this comes from 34-year-old vines. It’s quite dry, with interesting nuances of sweet grass, clover and green apple. The acids are borderline sour; try this with a bit of prosciutto and a salty cheese.

Coeur de Terre 2008 Pinot Noir (McMinnville)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Aromatic and floral, this forward and fruity Pinot mixes spicy raspberry and strawberry fruit leading into a cherry cola core. That’s where it remains through a quick fade. Good near-term drinking.

Coeur de Terre 2008 Estate Pinot Noir (McMinnville)
- Online Exclusive
- $34
Cola, Dr. Pepper, cherry coke all come to mind, as this has a strong emphasis on those flavors, or sassafras as some define them. It’s tasty, forward and light, with a lightly herbal aftertaste. Perfectly pleasant, though not showing much depth.

Coeur de Terre 2009 Rosé Rustique (Willamette Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Just this side of dry, this is a blend of Pinot Noir, Syrah and Riesling, a bit grassy and diffuse. It’s not sure what sort of a rosé it wants to be, nor is it easy to tell what to serve with it. Sour apple and strawberry fruit with a bit of finishing sugar.
