Patton Valley 2009 Lorna-Marie Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $70
This is the winery’s reserve bottling, representing the best five barrels of the vintage. Supple and refined, it frames its young berry fruit flavors in elegant tannins. Nicely focused and still a bit raw, this wine will reward some further years of aging.

Patton Valley 2008 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $35
Fragrant with cranberry and strawberry fruit, this forward and appealing wine looks and drinks like a cru Beaujolais. The tasty fruit is delineated with a chocolate lining, and the tannins carry a whiff of fresh earth.

Patton Valley 2009 10 Acre Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $48
From the oldest block of the estate vineyard, this fruit-driven Pinot is crisp and lively, mixing bright berry flavors with just a hint of sandalwood. Tannins are tamed, and the emphasis is clearly on purity of fruit.

Patton Valley 2009 West Block Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $48
The West Block selection shows more earth, fungus and black tea flavors than its stablemates. It also seems more closed in at this stage, though it is well balanced and has interesting textural components. Graphite, loam and sour plum dominate.
