No. 31
Hillcrest Vineyard (Heydon Road)
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
‘Cuvee Adam Doerner’
Umpqua Valley
$20, 2–5 years
Delicate floral scents but rich black-currant flavors, harvested from the oldest vineyard in Oregon (planted in 1961).
No. 32
Bergström
2007 Chardonnay
‘Old Stones’
Willamette Valley
$20, 2–4 years
One of the best chardonnays ever made in Oregon, this is truly a top value. Quite long, intense pear flavors, with a judicious use of oak barrels.
