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

Sno Road 2008 Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- $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.

Sno Road 2007 Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills)
- $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.

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

Sno Road 2006 Viola V Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (OR))
- Online Exclusive
- $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.

Sno Road 2008 Echo West Vineyard Red to Red Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (OR))
- Online Exclusive
- $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.

Sno Road 2008 Echo West Vineyard Tempranillo (Columbia Valley (OR))
- Online Exclusive
- $38
Thick and pruney, densely tannic, with an odd, muted mouthfeel and little evidence of fruit.
— P.G.

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

Not much here except vegetal fruit, sharp tannins and volatile acidity.
