"Lively red berries and cherry on the nose, with notes of fresh flowers and cola adding complexity. Bright, racy strawberry and raspberry flavors give way to a deeper bitter cherry quality in the mid-palate, with tangy orange zest adding cut. Finishes floral and piquant, leaving a hint of white pepper behind."

"Sleek and tangy, tightly focusing its cherry, raspberry and mineral flavors on a taut frame. Finishes with intensity and a hint of black olive."

"Cherry and tart red currant dominate the Chehalem 2010 Pinot Noir Three Vineyard which, as its name implies, incorporates fruit from all three estate locations, and essentially represents those barrels that weren’t selected to inform single vineyard bottlings. Buoyant, bright, and refreshing, it finishes with penetrating persistence allied to piquant nuttiness, if ultimately without a lot of complexity."

"This Oregon sparkling wine truly brings zest to life! The nose of lemon curd, raw honey, and almond biscotti harkens to the uplifting and refreshing palate to follow. With a fine mousse that buoys one up and flavors of Comice pear, custard, and marzipan that dance across your tongue, one cannot resist a grin as the effervescence slowly fades to a clean, minerally, citrus-toned finish. With the second sip, you’re guaranteed to be in an elevated state. Brut makes you better!"
