(Willamette Valley) Round and fruity, this mixes sweet berry with red plum and Bing cherry. Orange-peel highlights lift the midpalate. The wine shows excellent balance and a detailed, lingering finish. —P.G.

ALCHEMIST CHARDONNAY
2011 – 90 POINTS
Sourced entirely from the Carabella vineyard, this offers a pleasing blend of citrus, pineapple and pear fruit, with a backing of honey-laced lemon tea. It’s delicious and ready to drink.– Wine Enthusiast
KINGS RIDGE RIESLING
2015 – 90 POINTS “BEST BUY”
This outstanding riesling brings a bouquet of rose petals and peaches. There’s enough bright acidity to push flavors of lime and grapefruit forward, and the wine drinks dry despite relatively low alcohol.– Wine Enthusiast
KINGS RIDGE PINOT GRIS
2015 – 90 POINTS “BEST BUY”
Lightly tawny in color, with a fresh and enlivening mouthfeel, this is a good pinot gris for salmon, halibut or even swordfish. Pear flesh and skin, white peach and a hint of spice are all in play.

2015 – 89 POINTS, “TOP VALUE”
Focused on a medium-weight frame, this offers cherry, licorice and wet earth flavors that glide over powdery tannins and into a long and expressive finish. Drink now through 2020.

2016 – 92 POINTS

UNDERWOOD PINOT NOIR
2014 – 87 POINTS, “BEST BUY”
Self-described as a “notable every day wine” this meets the challenge. Given the price, it’s a winner, with 58% of the grapes coming from the Umpqua Valley AVA. The light strawberry fruit carries herbal and bitter green flavors, yet everything is in proper proportion.
