Rated 88
Wine Enthusiast Magazine
This is a clean, fresh, balanced, varietally spot-on pinot noir that fills a real void: well-made Oregon wine. There's plenty of ripe fruit here, and it is not a light-weight at all. And while it's balanced by fresh, lively acidity, there is very little wood and soft tannins making this wine very drinkable now and it will continue to cellar for years to come.

Rated 89
Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Spindrift Cellars 2006 Seven Hills Syrah co-fermentation with Viognier gives this wine its deep color with brightening of natural grape acidity; with aromas of deep roasted oak and notes of black pepper, beets along with floral. Flavors of spicy oak and black pepper with a lingering subtleness of red fruit leaves a very enjoyable finish.

| 2007 Pinot Gris |

Rated 90 & Best Buy
Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"This excellent Pinot Gris brings crisp, enticing
flavors that perfectly mix pear skin, citrus and spice with a finish
that somehow evokes coffee grounds and caramel. Huh? Don’t
know how that happens, but what a riot of flavor in such a
simple wine. Better yet, the alcohol rests at an unbelievable
12.5%—unheard of in the last two decades.
Tart and juicy, this
is as European as it gets in Oregon."
"This terrific value brings together crisp, enticing flavors that perfectly meld pear skin, citrus and spice with a finish that somehow evokes coffee grounds and caramel. "

Rated 91 & Editors Choice
Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"Spindrift is the little winery that could,
and makes excellent wines at consumer-friendly prices, from a
variety of grapes that showcase all the strengths of Oregon. This
lovely bottle is spicy and tart, yet full-flavored with a mix of lime,
lemon, pineapple, pear and rind that gracefully runs into a
mid palate that is full and spicy.
The sharp acids keep it lively and
refreshing, and the finish is nothing short of remarkable in a
wine at this price. Editors’ Choice."
"Spindrift Cellars is a newcomer with exceptionally well-made and well-priced white wines."

| 2006 Chardonnay |
$18 |
|
Rated 88
Wine Enthusiast Magazine
This elegant blend of stainless- and barrel-aged lots captures the fresh fruit flavors of red apples, kiwi and lime, letting just a hint of barrel toast creep into the finish. Balanced tannins give this wine a fresh nose, full mouth feel, and a smooth finish. Spindrift Cellars Chardonnay expresses the true structure of a well balanced cool climate Chardonnay that pairs wonderfully with food.
