We just had a wonderful article posted by Alder Yarrow on Vinography.
Vinography is internationally recognized as the most well written, well respected and perhaps most importantly, well read and visited online wine source. With scores ranging from 9 to 9.5 points, this is very exciting recognition for our wines. Alder contributes to many traditional publications, Wine Spectator etc., sits on numerous panels, and lectures the circuit, most recently Aspen Food and Wine. What a great endorsement of our on-going labor of love!

Portland Monthly just published their Top 50 Wines Made in Oregon and our 2007 Pinots both made the list. Our 2007 Basalt Block Pinot Noir came in number 12 and our Gestalt Block Pinot Noir was number 27. Over 650 wines were tasted and evaluated to come up with the final list, so needless to say we are thrilled with the results.
