Redhawk 2008 Estate Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $22
A fine, appealing and complex wine, Redhawk’s estate bottling shows more concentration than its less expensive stablemates, with nuances of bloody meat and mint that give it an almost Rhônish character. The alcohol is under 14%, and it drinks like a Burgundy, only with beefier tannins.

Redhawk 2008 Pataccoli Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Just four barrels were made, with grapes from a one-acre estate block of Pommard clone Pinot Noir planted more than 30 years ago. Detailed and brambly, with strawberry and cherry fruit, mottled with baking spices and chocolate. The finish carries some brown sugar flavors, a hint that perhaps this wine will age rather quickly and should be consumed over the next…

Redhawk 2009 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $18
Redhawk makes a value-priced lineup of Pinots, and in 2009 it is the two least expensive that have the most varietal character and charm. Concentrated cherry candy fruit builds depth and interest with a wash of mint and menthol. It’s full-bodied and mouth-filling, and the flavors linger a long time.

Redhawk 2008 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
With each bump up in price, the winemaker ups the percentage of new oak; here it’s 25%. Half the fruit is estate grown, and this light, clean, well-balanced wine drinks like a village Burgundy, with the right hint of herb around the tart red fruit.

Redhawk 2006 Pataccoli Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- $35
The AVA brings a nice mix of fruit and soil into the wine. Fruit flavors run to plum and wild cherry, with (presumably) barrel aging adding gentle suggestions of milk chocolate, drifting into lightly herbal tannins.

Redhawk 2008 Grateful Red Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A good effort at this price, this tart and tasty Pinot mixes cranberry and sour cherry fruit with plenty of juicy acidity. Ten percent was aged in new French oak, and you can pick up just a lick of chocolate as the finish fades.

Redhawk 2007 Pataccoli Family Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- $35
This interesting wine shuffles floral and wild berry flavors together, lays in some light herb, and rounds out the tannins. Though aged for 16 months in 40% new French oak, the barrel flavors are subdued.
