Methven Family 2004 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $55
Though not from the estate vineyard, this is a well-done reserve from this new and substantial Eola Hills vintner. Sweet and juicy, it’s like the concentrate of blackberry, raspberry and boysenberry. Good tannic structure supports the fruit.

Methven Family 2004 Riesling (Willamette Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $21
Baked apple pie is what this wine smells like, and the flavors are astonishingly the same, like an apple tart right out of the oven. It’s not a particularly sweet wine, but the fruit carries with it a suggestion of sweetness, and there’s a strong cinnamon spice component also. Might make a great companion to a non-sweet fruit tart.

Methven Family 2004 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $33
This new winery has put out a first release that is juicy, sweet and loaded with concentrated raspberry and strawberry fruit. It’s so fruity, in fact, that it tastes more like fruit concentrate than wine! If it had a bit more tannin and some of the bones of a bigger wine, the fruit could certainly carry it to a higher score.

Methven Family 2004 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
There’s plenty of spicy fruit here, ripe to the point of tasting baked, like apple pie or a pear compote. It’s rich and flavorful, but needs to be drunk now, as the nose is already showing a Sherry character.
