Sno Road 2008 Reserve Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)

Price $53

With just a bit more concentration than the regular 2008 bottling from Sno Road, this carries the same cranberry/raspberry/cherry flavors, with a touch of sweetness behind sharp acidity. There is no trace of new oak barrels, which might add a welcome flash to the finish. — P.G. (10/1/2011)

Sno Road 2008 Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)

Price $43

Approachable with pretty cherry and rose petal flavors, this wine finds its spine via a streak of herb and tannin. Dried leaves, a hint of granite, and persistent berry flavors suggest that it can be cellared for at least 6–8 years. — P.G. (10/1/2011)

points

Sno Road 2007 Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)

Price $43

Moderately herbal and tannic, with tight cranberry and pomegranate fruit tucked inside the leaf and stem flavors. That said, this perfectly captures the terroir of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. If there is a classic Oregon style of Pinot, this would be it. — P.G. (10/1/2011)

points

Sno Road 2009 Echo West Vineyard Dry Style Muscat Canelli (Columbia Valley (OR))

Price $24

This could be Viognier-lite; it has citrus and orange peel in the nose and mouth, along with a sharpness that vacillates between diesel and pine needle. An unusual wine, penetrating and finishing with a yeasty, unbaked bread dough flavor. — P.G. (10/1/2011)

points

Sno Road 2006 Viola V Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (OR))

Online Exclusive

Price $73

Rough, earthy and tannic, with simple, high-toned, black cherry fruit, and substantial tannins that seem to have been somehow smoothed over, leaving the wine a bit dull. — P.G. (10/1/2011)

points

Sno Road 2008 Echo West Vineyard Red to Red Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (OR))

Online Exclusive

Price $24

Chalky, earthy, dusty and tannic, this rustic Cabernet shows plenty of heat and some volatility. Some red fruits come through, high-toned and tannic. — P.G. (10/1/2011)

points

Sno Road 2007 Viola V Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (OR))

Online Exclusive

Price $63

Not much here except vegetal fruit, sharp tannins and volatile acidity. — P.G. (10/1/2011)

points

Sno Road 2008 Echo West Vineyard Tempranillo (Columbia Valley (OR))

Online Exclusive

Price $38

Thick and pruney, densely tannic, with an odd, muted mouthfeel and little evidence of fruit. — P.G. (10/1/2011)
