Lange 2009 Three Hills Cuvée Chardonnay (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
This is a luscious, butterscotchy, fresh, lime- and lemon-flavored Chardonnay; a true delight. Melon and peach fruit flavors thread into the core, and the wine has a wonderful richness without losing its finesse or acid base.

Lange 2010 Reserve Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
Leesy, textural, a rich mix of spring herbs, celery, lime, green fruits and melon. Though relatively low alcohol it has a lovely mix of flavors. Bracing but not at all sour. Good winemaking.

Lange 2008 Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $60
Fine structure, sharp acids and well-defined tannins provide the framework for this single- vineyard wine. The fruit is tart and carries a citrus component, along with wild berries. In the mouth it brings in suggestions of bacon fat and thyme, with the fruit continuing into a clean, precise, tightly wound finish.

Lange 2010 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
Fruit-driven, with pear and apple, but an interesting streak of licorice running down the spine of the wine. It has depth and good structure, so the now-dominant young fruit will have support as it ages. Worth sitting on for a couple more years.

Lange 2008 Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $60
Nice black cherry and black currant fruit flavors are wrapped in a casing of stone and earth. This wine seems to be holding itself back, perhaps just in need of further cellaring, certainly requiring decanting. It’s compact, elegant and well balanced, but shy. A pleasing streak of truffle elevates the finish.

Lange 2009 Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $60
This needs oxygen to open up past its slightly reductive nose; then it blossoms into a full-bodied, flavorful wine with a broad array of mixed black fruits. Hints of leaf and herb are nicely styled and not intrusive.

Lange 2009 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $32
Young and loaded with primary fruit flavors—fresh-picked cherries right off the tree, red delicious apples, just-made cranberry sauce—this is lovely now but built for the long term. The 13.6% alcohol listed is verified by the juicy acidity and just a touch of herb in the back of the finish.

Lange 2008 Three Hills Cuvée Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $40
A blend of three vineyard sites, this fragrant wine offers subtle scents of truffle and earth along with pomegranate and raspberry. The fruit flavors have a dusty character, and there is a strong mineral streak that washes through the midpalate. Give this plenty of breathing time.
