2008 Ratings

The Wine Advocate has scored our entire current lineup, here's what critic Dr. Jay Miller thinks:

2009 Treehouse Estate Pinot Gris - 88 Points

"...offers up an enticing nose of apple, melon, and tangerine zest. On the palate it is vibrant, ripe, savory, and well-balanced."

2009 Treehouse Estate Rose of Pinot Gris - 87 Points

"...salmon pink in color with a slightly muted perfume of apple blossom, baking spices, and melon. Dry on the palate with ample savory fruit, this lively offering will drink nicely over the next 12-18 months."

2008 Skyraider Reserve Pinot Noir - 92 Points

"...my favorite of the Vista Hills offerings. It features darker fruits both aromatically and on the palate, with black raspberry, black cherry, and plum playing feature roles. Rich, ripe, and very concentrated, this succulent, packed offering merits 3-4 years of additional cellaring."

2008 Marylhurst Estate Pinot Noir - 89 Points

"...gives up scents of mineral, spice box, incense, cherry, and raspberry. More structured than the Treehouse bottling and with densely packed red fruits, this savory, smooth-textured Pinot will evolve for 1-2 years and provide pleasure through 2018."

2008 Tusculum Estate Pinot Noir - 90 Points

"...medium ruby in color with a perfume of sandalwood, spice box, incense, cherry, and cranberry. Ripe, round, and easygoing in the mouth, this tasty effort can be enjoyed now and over the next 8 years."

2008 Treehouse Estate Pinot Noir - 88 Points

"...the nose displays earthy, terroir aromas, cinnamon, rose petal, and cherry. Easygoing and savory on the palate with very good depth and concentration, this tasty effort is meant for drinking over the next 8 years."

2008 Saga Hills Reserve Pinot Noir - 91 Points

"offers an expressive aromatic array of cedar, cinnamon, rose petal, incense, cherry, and raspberry that jumps from the glass. Made in a slightly racy style (featuring the excellent natural acidity of the vintage), this elegant offering displays precision, length, and several years of cellaring potential."
