What's the Best Pinot Noir wines from Oregon?

Question

Can you please be specific on the Brand names and which vineyards.........Thanks

There are so many brands out there, I don't know which ones are the best?

Answer 1

Here is a list of the top 5
Beaux Freres Willamett valley 2003
Bergstrom Willamette valley arcus vineyard 2003
Ponzi Willamette valley 2002
Sineann 2003
Argyle 2002

Answer 2

William's suggestions are great. If that is a bit outside your price range, keep in mind that Domaine Serene also makes an entry level pinot called the "Yamhill Cuvee" which will come in a bit cheaper than the Evenstad. It's also consistently well made year after year.

At an even lower price point, King Estate makes an entry level Pinot Noir at around the $25-30 range which is consistently good, though not stunning.

Cheers!

Addendum:
It's really tough to tell you what "The Best" wines are without knowing your personal preferences. For example, what is your budget? For me, I'm always searching for "the best" pinot I can get for $50 or less. Also, do you like the ripe, rich California style of Pinot, or the more elegant and lighter style of Burgundy?
