Bethel Heights 2002 Estate Grown Pinot Blanc is elegant and refreshing.
I was bowled over by the elegant floral and pear flavors.
The acidity was refreshing, as minerals impressed themselves slightly on my tongue.
The finish lingered with a rich honeysuckle final note. It is wonderful to experience pinot blanc
in such an elegant, genuine, effort. This wine is not trying to be anything other than a well
made pinot blanc, which on its own, is enough.
Retail price $12. Tasted June 05, 2003. We give this wine two .

Bethel Heights 2002 Pinot Gris has clean, crisp acidity that doesn't
bite you back, yet is the perfect accompanyment for food. The nose whispers
Earl Grey and the palate is a zesty example of apple, lime peel, and apricot.
The finish is clean and simple. This is what a Oregon pinot grigio should taste like.

Bethel Heights Estate Pinot Noir:
It is a joy to taste a well made pinot noirs.
I was very impressed with the quality of this wine for the price.
Fragrant cherries on the nose follow through on the palate as the jammy sweet yet sour cherry
flavors balance in your mouth as fruit and acidity compliment each other.
Slight cola nut rounds out the finish.
This bottle will deepen in flavor for the next five years.
Retail price $25. Tasted June 05, 2003. We give this wine two .

Bethel Heights 2001 Flat Block Reserve Pinot Noir
is a Burgundian style pinot noir. Soft and spicy on the nose.
The sultry wild cherry, clove, and white pepper flavors make this wine a great choice
for white meats and grilled fish. The tannins in this wine
bolster the flavor and allow enough structure for at least five years of aging.
Retail price $40. Tasted June 05, 2003. We give this wine two .
