Van Duzer 2000 Chardonnay

  1. $15
Fresh and refreshing, Van Duzer hits it right with tart, spicy fruit and a nice kick to the finish. A racy, lean style, built for food, but quite appealing all by itself.  — P.G.  (2/1/2002)

Van Duzer 2002 Pinot Gris

  1. $13
A pleasant, lightly grapefruity wine, with a lot of pucker to it. Deserves kudos for keeping the alcohol down where it should be (13%), and for making a food-friendly style with a clean, crisp finish.  — P.G.  (12/1/2003)

Van Duzer 2002 Flagpole Block Pinot Noir

  1. $33
Spicy and herbal, like a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with lots of barrel scents and flavors following. There are baking spices aplenty, coconut, sandalwood, cinnamon and more. Hard to resist.  — W.E.  (11/1/2004)

Van Duzer 2003 Estate Pinot Gris

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $14
Snappy flavors of fresh, cinnamon-spiced Asian pears are the focus of the firm, tart fruit. Flavors remain light through the mid-palate, then tail off into a simple, lightly lemony finish.  — P.G.  (1/1/2004)

Van Duzer 2010 Estate Pinot Gris

  1. $16
There’s an odd smell of roasted peanuts under the citrusy fruit aromas, but once in the mouth the fruit takes over big time. It bursts forth, apples and lemons, and stays solid and unchanging into the tart finish.  — P.G.  (10/1/2011)

Van Duzer 2002 Homestead Block Pinot Noir

  1. $33
Plum, citrus and some brambly red fruits are mixed together, creating a forward, fruity wine with plenty of toasty oak up front.  — W.E.  (11/1/2004)

Van Duzer 2002 Estate Pinot Noir

  1. $22
Cherry fruit and plenty of chocolaty, mocha barrel flavors. Mainstream, clean and simple. The twin parts—fruit and oak—are like two halves of a sandwich, separate, equal, but unintegrated.  — W.E.  (11/1/2004)

Van Duzer 2002 Dijon Blocks Pinot Noir

  1. $33
Violets, lavender and sweet cherries rise from the glass, though the wine is less interesting in the mouth. Tart, light and somewhat routine.  — W.E.  (11/1/2004)
