Witness Tree 1997 Vintage Select Pinot Noir

Price $18

A dark-fruited, mineral, smoky nose lets you know right away that this will be really good. Full flavors of ripe berries, a velvety mouthfeel, and a long, spicy, tannic finish define this rich and very stylish Pinot. Best buy. — W.E. (11/15/1999)

Witness Tree 2005 Pinot Noir

Price $27

Very clean and pretty, showcasing lovely varietal flavors of cherries and berries. There’s a well-managed earthy component, with suggestions of forest floor and organic matter, and the tannins are ripe and fine. A very fine bottle for the price. — P.G. (7/1/2007)

points

Witness Tree 2000 Vintage Select Pinot Noir

Price $40

Big, burly aromas of smoke, matchstick and barnyard join flavors of black plum and cherry mixed with soy and earth. The chewy finish seals the deal in favor of this plump but balanced smoothie. — W.E. (10/1/2002)

points

Witness Tree 2010 Estate Pinot Noir

Price $26

Clean and straightforward, this is textbook Oregon Pinot Noir. Streaks and nuances of herb, resin and earth are matched to flavors of wild berry. A year maturing in 20% new French oak lends the finish a hint of toast. — P.G. (10/1/2012)

Witness Tree 2010 Vintage Select Pinot Noir

Price $40

Though it was given twice as many new French oak barrels as the Estate bottling, this Vintage Select could be its twin. Solid and balanced, it mixes berry, herb and earth components, making for a well-structured, no-frills wine. — P.G. (10/1/2012)

points

Witness Tree 2010 Estate Chardonnay

Price $15

Forward and lightly toasty, this barrel-fermented Chard is a very nice summertime sipping wine. Apple and stone fruits combine in a gentle, forward, nicely balanced white wine. — P.G. (10/1/2012)

points

Witness Tree 2010 Estate Pinot Blanc

Price $15

Spicy, toasted coconut scents reflect barrel fermentation. The rather deep straw color suggests a wine that is maturing quickly. Pleasant drinking, but don’t wait. — P.G. (10/1/2012)

points

Witness Tree 2010 Chainsaw Pinot Noir

Price $20

This is the least expensive of the Witness Tree Pinots, and the most widely available. Light and pretty, with apple and raspberry fruit flavors, it’s well made, though slender in feel. — P.G. (10/1/2012)
