Silvan Ridge 1999 Bing Vineyard - Ice Wine Gewürztraminer (Umpqua Valley)
- $20
Complex and honeyed, with apricot, melon, peach, herb and spice flavors. Silky-smooth and lush on the palate; sleek and refined. Delicious.

Silvan Ridge 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rogue Valley)
- $26
Smooth and round from the start, with aromas of plum, cassis and cola. In the mouth, there’s cherry and more cassis, and as a whole it’s downright tasty. On the back side, the finish is firm and chocolaty, with good tannins. After tasting many a mediocre Pinot Noir from this Eugene-based winery, this flavorful if one-dimensional Cabernet is a revelation. Only 150…

Silvan Ridge 2002 Pinot Gris
- $15
This nicely showcases the fresh-cut Bartlett pear flavors of Oregon Gris. Balanced and lightly spicy, with a wonderful kiss of cinnamon, it’s a lovely effort.

Silvan Ridge 2005 Reserve Pinot Noir
- $22
Forward and fruity, this has California-style fruit and sweet, strawberry candy. The difference is that it fills out the middle with some leafy, herbal flavors, nothing too rough, but enough to add some flavor interest. The finish is fat and buttery, showing the influence of oak aging.

Silvan Ridge 2000 Del Rio Vineyard Syrah (Rogue Valley)
- $26
This burly, saturated Syrah hails from a five-year-old vineyard, and it shows some size and potential. The initial aromas seem straight from the barnyard, but that’s not a bad thing in this case. Because below that rusticity there’s dark fruit and the essence of sauvage. The palate is round, chewy and rich, with blackberry fruit and ample spice. And the finish is…

Silvan Ridge 2001 Del Rio Vineyard Syrah (Rogue Valley)
- $20
Southern Oregon is working hard on growing Syrah, and this is a promising effort. Thick, hard tannins are characteristic of this vineyard’s fruit, which has a tight, concentrated core of cherry liqueur. It’s young, hard and tart, but promising. Give it time.

Silvan Ridge 2003 Syrah (Rogue Valley)
- $20
Most Rogue Valley Syrahs seem to have oppressively dry, heavy tannins, but here the grainy flavors are well-integrated into the mixed red fruits. There is plenty of lightly roasted, coffee bean flavors, and some baker’s chocolate lining the finish. Drinks very well right now.

Silvan Ridge 2006 Pinot Gris
- $15
This is a crisp, serviceable Pinot Gris, with sharp green-apple and cut pear fruit dominating. It’s got plenty of acid underscoring the fruit, and should work well as an all-purpose wine.
