Westrey 2002 Abbey Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $32
Fresh, spicy and bright, marked with tart cranberry, light cherry, and just a hint of chocolate. If it were Burgundy, it would be Volnay.

Westrey 1999 Temperance Hill Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $22
A bit shy on the nose now, showing herbal, vegetal notes, including tomato and beetroot, accompanied by flamboyant oak. It’s unyielding on the palate, too, with some solid tannins to shed. Could blossom after 2003, so give it time in the cellar.

Westrey 2002 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $29
Big, broad, ripe flavors of strawberries and raspberries are on the verge of jamminess, but the wine lacks power and concentration. Forward, fruity, middle-of-the- road style.

Westrey 1999 Croft-Bailey Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $22
Very different from this winery’s Temperance bottling. Starts with sour cherry aromas along with sumptuous smoke, vanilla and spice notes. Drinks very soft and gentle, with melted tannins framing generous cherry-berry fruit. This is a supple, easy-drinking wine for early consumption.

Westrey 2002 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $19
Lots of almost tropical fruit flavors here, forward and braced with citrusy acidity. Very drinkable, but definitely a lightweight.

Westrey 2002 Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- $32
Pretty opening scents of pure Pinot fruit, rose petals and some acetone. The fruit touches on grape, plum, and cherry; there is some pretty cinnamon, too. But in the mouth the wine comes across as a bit awkward and simple. Bottle shocked?
