Vista Hills 2006 Saga Hills Reserve Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $40
This is a sturdy, earthy, firmly compact wine with a spine of steel. It keeps the fruit front and center, with a concentrated middle mixing raspberry, cherry and strawberry jam. Yet there is more here than sweet fruit, and as it breathes in come layers of spice, cola and rock.

Vista Hills 2009 Marylhurst Estate Pinot Noir
- Editors' Choice
- $36
A standout Pinot, expressive from the first sniff to the last swallow. Elegant and precise, with deep notes of black cherry fruit, set into a balanced framework of tannin and acid. Barrel notes of coffee and cinnamon are expressive and beautifully integrated.

Vista Hills 2008 Rollins Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $44
Sharp and precise, this opens with intense scents of raspberry and summer strawberries, beautifully aromatic. The fruit loads the palate with bright, fresh flavors that go deep and last into a very satisfying finish. Young as it is, it will be difficult to keep your hands off this bottle. But it will reward cellaring over the next 6–8 years.

Vista Hills 2009 Piedmont Estate Pinot Noir
- Online Exclusive
- $44
This wine was made at Le Cadeau, from Vista Hills grapes, and is the star of the 2009s. An excellent, racy structure provides the scaffolding around a refined, lightly spiced Pinot Noir with crisp raspberry and cherry fruit.

Vista Hills 2007 Treehouse Pinot Gris (Dundee Hills)
- $18
Oregon Pinot Gris doesn’t get more fresh and refreshing than this zippy number from Vista Hills. With alcohol at just 13.2%, it is truly food-friendly, with elegant and light herbal notes across fresh apple and pear.

Vista Hills 2007 Flagler Pinot Gris (Dundee Hills)
- $18
The estate Pinot Gris from Vista Hills shows a streak of pine resin that enlivens the naturally juicy pear and gooseberry fruit. It’s spicy and strong, crisp and clean— just right for a pesto dish.

Vista Hills 2008 Flagler Estate Pinot Gris (Dundee Hills)
- $18
Another fine estate-grown Pinot Gris from Vista Hills, with plenty of green apple and Bosch pear fruit, along with some light cinnamon spice. There is also a suggestion of flower in both the nose and the mouth, but overall it’s a bigger wine than that, with the fruit front and center.

Vista Hills 2007 Saga Hills Reserve Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- $42
There is a meaty undercurrent to this reserve Pinot Noir from a neighboring (non-estate) vineyard; a sense of blood and fat just below the tart, spicy red fruits. All of the 2007 Pinots from Vista Hills have the restraint and elegance to reveal some added dimensions. This runs the gamut from watermelon to raspberry to black cherry, with excellent concentration and depth.
