What Our Customers are Saying

So now I feel guilty that I shared the bottle with my two girlfriends...

"Thank you for the recommendation to consider trying a bottle of the 1998 Murto. My friends and I really enjoyed this wine last night with duck confit. Nicely balanced, at first it seemed just a bit light-bodied and silky for my taste, but then all of a sudden - POW! So now I feel guilty that I shared the bottle with my two girlfriends and not my husband." - Wendy Wolsh Bisset

Reminds me of a great vosne romanee at 5 times the price.

"I just wanted to tell you how wonderful a recent bottle of 2002 Meredith Mitchell was to my wife and I. The wine possesses a deep red color with stony nose and chalk finish. Reminds me of a great vosne romanee at 5 times the price. I thought you would enjoy positive comments from a mostly burgundy fan...awesome." - Jeffrey Smith

Holy smokes!

"I drank a bottle of 2004 Shea a couple of weeks ago with a dinner I made - holy smokes!" - Chris Rutkowski, Oregon

We were struck by the finesse...despite its considerable power.

"We found the 2003 Reserve to be a very dark and powerful mouthfeel. From the cedar on the nose, we were at first hit by the dark overtures of black pepper, dark chocolate and hints of black tea in the back of the mouth. As it opened up, we began to detect the subtle, but rich flavors of black currant (casis) and dried cranberry. We were struck by the finesse it demonstrated despite its considerable power." - Chuck Humble

I continue to be overwhelmed...

"I just had the '03 Meredith Mitchell over the weekend, and it was amazing. I continue to be overwhelmed at the consistently high quality of your wines and their diversity. This Pinot was completely different from the Shea Vineyard. Tell everyone to keep up the great work - it is greatly appreciated." - Josh Mester, California

...one of the best PNs we've tasted.

"Scott, Patty and I have just enjoyed - really enjoyed - a bottle of your 1998 Shea Pinot noir with lamb chops, asparagus and green salad. Good nose, smooth, pleasant flavors, nice mouthfeel, good long finish - we really think this is one of the best PNs we've tasted." - Roy Marshall, Oregon

This wine just made my day.

"Yesterday Easters big family party. I had the redtail hawks flying above and decided to open your wine. Down to the cellar I went. This wine just made my day. Twenty-four hours later my mind is enjoying this great (1998 Murto Pinot noir) wine." - Ray Duyn, Oregon

...it is, and will be, an outstanding Pinot noir...

"We had one bottle of the Coeur De Terre on Sunday night, and all I can say is WOW! We both thought that it is, and will be, an outstanding Pinot noir and your tasting notes were right on with what we tasted as well." - Jeff and Denice Stewart, Oregon

...my favorite wine of our 3-day tour.

"It was a pleasure for Steve, Carl and I to visit with you and Annie last Friday and taste your wonderful wines. Thank you both for your hospitality. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the tasting. In particular, the 2003 Reserve Pinot was my favorite wine of our 3-day tour." - John Kostas, Delaware

...some of the finest Pinot noirs around.

"Congratulations on your 90+ scores from the Wine Spectator! It is definitely well deserved. We fell in love with your wines on our first trip to your tasting room, joined your wine club, and knew from our first tasting that you were making some of the finest Pinot noirs around." - Brian and Jean Thompson, California

...on the favorite list of wines...

"I have you on the favorite list of wines I watch. My cellar is about 3200 bottles and growing. About half of the cellar is Pinot. I have just started the last four years to collect some of the best Oregon Pinot. Look forward to seeing your progress. There is not substitute for making great selected Pinot noir." - Marcel Jumonville, Louisiana

...great local products.

"Love your wines - I came to visit you some time ago and bought a variety of your wines. We have enjoyed them greatly. Thank you for making such great local products." - Olivier Rochelois, Oregon

We were very impressed.

"I ordered two bottles of 2003 Pinot noir from the Meredith Mitchell vineyard. I gave these to my wife (named Meredith Mitchell) for her birthday. WOW! We were very impressed. And generally, we don't like Pinot noir... we prefer Cabs or Merlots. Anyway, thank you for making such a great wine in my wife's name! We will be customers for many years, I'm sure. Best wishes." - Glen and Meredith Mitchell, Washington
