Coeur de Terre Vineyard 2008 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)
- $17
With alcohol under 13%, this spicy, well-constructed Pinot Gris is decidedly cut in a European mold. Grapefruit and fiddlehead fern flavors combine, with surprising concentration and length. For food matches think along the lines of what goes best with a spicy, grassy Sauvignon Blanc.

Coeur de Terre Vineyard 2006 Riesling (Willamette Valley)
- $19
Scents of vitamin pill and wet paper give way to a dense and dry Riesling with excellent concentration. Citrus fruit and rind combine with tart acids; what elevates this wine is its exceptional depth.

Coeur de Terre Vineyard 2007 Renelle’s Block Pinot Noir (McMinnville)
- $48
These are the oldest Pinot vines on the property, planted in 1999. A mix of Pommard, Wadenswil and Dijon clones, they create a rather sharp, herbal wine, with earthy tannins and a hint of bitterness. Barrel aging adds some baking chocolate flavors, but additional bottle age is recommended.

Coeur de Terre Vineyard 2007 Estate Pinot Noir (McMinnville)
- $34
The estate vineyard, planted between 1999 and 2005, includes several different blocks, named for family members. This Pinot has a pleasing softness, entering the mouth gently with light raspberry candy flavors. The fruit is wrapped in chocolaty oak.

Coeur de Terre Vineyard 2007 Pinot Noir (McMinnville)
- $20
Soft and plush, this is a pillowy Pinot with spicy cranberry and strawberry fruit, laced with a distinctive cola streak. Very appealing, forward and textural.
