The Eyrie Vineyards 2004 Reserve Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $58
A splendid bottle, lucid, refined, a gorgeous evocation of the grape with delicate cherry/cranberry fruit, hints of pepper and spice, and the gravitas that comes with grapes from 40-year-old vines.

The Eyrie Vineyards 2000 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)
- Best Buy
- $15
Eyrie is back in stride with this benchmark pinot gris after a sub-par '99 bottling. Fresh flavors of lemon zest and pear highlight a subtle wine whose subtle spice and zesty complexity promise a long, pleasing life ahead.

The Eyrie Vineyards 2007 Reserve Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $33
The reserve Chardonnay is a full-bodied, oaky wine, with flavors that carry extra intensity and a sense of muscularity. A sturdy, substantial effort.

The Eyrie Vineyards 2007 Pinot Gris (Dundee Hills)
- $16
In 1970, David Lett made Pinot Gris for the first time – the first time anywhere in America. This, his 38th and final vintage, runs the flavor gamut from citrus to stone fruit to tropical. There’s a deep straw color, a flash of honey, and a substantial, almost weighty midpalate. Light toast adds further flavor interest to the finish.

The Eyrie Vineyards 1999 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $35
In a great vintage such as 1999, Eyrie’s reserve Pinot can be expected to age for as long as any made in America. This is ripely scented with classic Pinot fruit and fertile earth. The Burgundian sweet cherry and plum flavors at the heart of it also carry a bit of barnyard, what the French call gout de terroir. Note: this is not jammy, sweet or unctuous. It is not…

The Eyrie Vineyards 2007 Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $29
Classic Eyrie, European styling, and perfectly suited to this rather lean vintage. Impeccable balance, with a subtle mix of fruits, herbs, spices, leaf and wood. The grip and authority of this wine are lovely.

The Eyrie Vineyards 2007 Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)
- $22
Full-bodied, ripened perfectly with fleshy apple, pear and guava flavors, this skirts the line between elegance and power, keeps clean and refreshing, and brings in just enough phenolic flavor to put a bit of tannic bite into the finish.

The Eyrie Vineyards 2007 Pinot Blanc (Dundee Hills)
- $18
Estate-grown and aged on the lees in stainless steel, this expressively spicy Pinot Blanc from Eyrie is the last vintage when founder David Lett was alive at crush. It’s a gem, with lively pear, apple and white peach, fresh acids and a lingering finish.
