Gypsy Dancer 2005 A&G Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $60
My favorite of the 2005 releases from Gypsy Dancer, this is a complex wine that seems to be holding back, like a fine race horse at the starting gate. It’s got the concentrated core of cherry fruit, which leads into mixed berries, toast, spice and more. A light earthy streak supports notes of root and soil, and the midpalate is a bit subdued, but the flavors come…

Gypsy Dancer 2005 Gary & Christine’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- $43
Aromatic with soda pop scents of Dr. Pepper, cola and root beer, this is nonetheless a reasonably substantial wine, not a simple fruit bomb. It’s lively and full of interesting flavors that suggest herb, root and spice; the wood remains a background flavor.

Gypsy Dancer 2003 Gibbston Home Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- $50
From Gary Andrus’s NZ venture, this is a plump, appealing Pinot that boasts scents of smoke and black cherries, followed by flavors of woodsmoke and plum. A bit astringent on the finish, with firm tannins that deserve to be cellared 2–3 years. Imported by Gypsy Dancer Estates.

Gypsy Dancer 2005 Broadley Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $43
A tart, cranberry- and raspberry-flavored wine, this young, high-acid style of Pinot has a charming, Burgundian feeling to it. The snappy red fruits are underscored with citrus, and the balance is disarmingly light, but not simple or dull.

Gypsy Dancer 2005 Cuvée Romy Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- $90
A very tight, tart and tannic Pinot Noir, almost impossible to open up despite hours of breathing. Acidic and unyielding, the rating is a compromise between what it is currently showing and what it hints at if you probe deeply enough.

Gypsy Dancer 2002 A&G Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Oregon)
- $60
Spicy, briary scents suggestive of dried fruits. The wine is brambly, with assertive cherry and raspberry flavors, a rich, live-wire mouthfeel, and a spicy, resiny wrap-up.

Gypsy Dancer 2004 Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- $40
Mineral dust scents accent ripe cherries in this medium-bodied offering from American Gary Andrus. Smooth and well structured on the midpalate, turning spicy and briary on the finish. Imported by Gypsy Dancer Estates.

Gypsy Dancer 2006 Christine Lorraine Vineyard Pinot Gris (Oregon)
- $25
Honeysuckle scents and flavors of pear, papaya and cucumber lead into a fresh and delicate wine, with plenty of acid behind the crisp fruit.
