Recent Wine Acclaim
Et Fille 2022 Deux Vert Vineyard Viognier: “This is a love note to a Viognier with perfumed lilacs, orange blossoms, poached pears and a touch of gunflint on the nose. I was expecting a thick mouthful of wine. Instead I discovered a clean, fresh texture with frisky acidity supporting peach and lemon flavors. There's also a streak of salinity running through the fruit.” -93 Points and Editor’s Choice, Wine Enthusiast
Et Fille 2022 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: “Crisp, playful and fruit-driven, with small berries, red currants and sweet spices dominating on the nose. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Vivid and laid back with a juicy, acidulated finish. Drink now.” 92 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2022 Heredity Pinot Noir: “A medium-bodied, fruity and crunchy red with sour cherries, red currants, dried flowers and some cloves. Vivid and crunchy with nerve and a flavorful finish. Drink now.” 92 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2022 Palmer Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Broad, harmonious and crunchy, with aromas of frozen berries, forest strawberries, herbs and baking spices on the nose. Lively and energetic, with zesty acidity driving the mid-palate to a fresh, bright and floral finish with length. Drink or hold.” 93 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2022 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “A crisp, vibrant and zesty red with notes of red currants, wild strawberries, orange peel and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, bright and zesty. Crunchy and succulent, with some white pepper character at the center and a delicious, juicy finish with length. Drink or hold.” 93 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2022 Gabriella Pinot Noir: “A fruity, well-made and juicy red with aromas of red berries, herbs and wet stone. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity. Playful and succulent, with so much sour cherry and red currant character to the acidulated finish. Drink now.” 92 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: “A gorgeous Pinot Noir made with ample freshness that punches well above its price point—aromas of violet, candied orange peel, soy and petrichor. The palate is fresh and lively, with real elegance and florality. Red raspberries mingle with candied blueberries, sweet cherry coulis, and plenty of fresh acidity delivering a brilliant finish.” 92 Points, Decanter
Et Fille 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: “All raspberry bramble and violets, this seems to take off just as soon as it hits the glass, tethered by a mild smoky caramel presence from oak. After a day the wine becomes more floral and lifted, the oak receding. For duck.” 92 Points, Wine & Spirits
Et Fille 2021 Heredity Pinot Noir: “Aged in French oak barrels, none of which were new, for 11 months, the Heredity combines chewy tannins with brisk acidity. Earthy/brambly black fruit aromas meld beautifully with notes of beeswax and lavender-filed garrigue. The rich palate shows flavors of blackberry pie, tangerine and mint.” 93 Points and Editor’s Choice, Wine Enthusiast
Et Fille 2021 Heredity Pinot Noir: “From a blend of high elevation sites aged in all neutral oak, the medium ruby 2021 Pinot Noir Heredity takes on a spicy and floral personality, with notes of dusty earth, grenadine, white pepper, and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, with great persistence of concentration within its linear frame, it has ripe fruit through the palate, fine tannins, and a silky mouthfeel. This is a beautiful and graceful wine to drink over the next 6-8 years. -93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Et Fille 2021 Heredity Pinot Noir: “Slowly comes together in the glass as a perfumed blend of dusty florals and exotic spices gives way to dried black cherries. This is silky and sleek with cooling acidity and masses of ripe red and blue fruits enlivened by a core of vibrant acidity. It impresses further through the finish, long yet energetic with framing tannins, repleting florals, and hints of sour citrus tugging at the cheeks. The Heredity pushes the pleasure meters to the max. Drink 2025-2031.” -93 Points, Vinous
Et Fille 2021 Heredity Pinot Noir: “Pale ruby in colour. Bright, fresh and nuanced nose that smells like fresh waxy rose petals, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, spearmint and cherry. What a job on blending! This nose is stunning! The palate is bright and fresh but a bit less subtle– more orange peel and citrus driven with a long acid spine that carries citrus through the finish. Enough fine tannin to hold everything in place but without being noticeable. This is a very pretty wine. 2023-2028.” -Distinguished/Superior, Jancis Robinson
Et Fille 2021 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Aged in 40% new French oak and 20% one-year French oak barrels for 11 months, the 2021 Kalita Pinot Noir from Et Fille was my favorite of the lineup. A gorgeous shimmering medium neon ruby-purple core with a lighter pink rim, it pops with aromas of red and black cherries, crushed ripe marionberries, fennel fronds, toasted spice, and cedary herbs. I loved how the wine moved across the entire palate on the finish, with its sweet, smooth tannins and perfected acidity.” -95 Points, International Wine Report
Et Fille 2021 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Rich cherry and plum sauce is contrasted by lifting hints of sage and mint as the remarkably pretty 2021 Kalita blooms in the glass. It’s silky smooth, nearly creamy in feel, yet lifted and energetic, showing crisp red fruits and tactile mineral tones enlivened by zesty acidity. This finishes potent with tremendous length, leaving the palate stained in primary concentration and a tug of grippy tannins providing more of an accent than an obstacle. Simply stunning. Drink 2024-2033.” -94+ Points, Vinous
Et Fille 2021 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “This is so lively and fresh with sour cherries and wild raspberries as well as dried strawberry bush, spicy herbs and orange peel. A little bit of raw mushroom, too. Medium- to full-bodied with tense and compact tannins, firm structure and delicious red berries. Beautiful acidity keeps it nervy and toned with a flavorful, blue-fruited finish. Better after 2024.” -94 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2021 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: A deeper ruby red, the 2021 Pinot Noir Kalita Vineyard is spiced with notes of cherry liqueur, baking spices, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it floods the palate with pure ripe fruit and ripe tannins, and although it has a weightless feel, it’s more grounded in its sensibility, with a warming touch on the finish. This is another very attractive wine with great structure. Drink 2024-2034. -94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Et Fille 2021 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “A lovely wine, detailed and elegantly structured, offering cherry blossom and strawberry aromas that open to vibrant pomegranate and forest floor accents, which take on structure and tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2032.” -93 Points, Wine Spectator
Et Fille 2021 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Pale ruby in colour. Quiet and gravelly on the nose with darker fruits – black cherry, black plum, potting soil and dried pine needles. The acid in this is noticeably higher than the rest of the portfolio. The tannin is silty but elevated. The most powerful of the portfolio. A cola and dark-cherry finish. Do sit on this one for a few years: 2025-2035.” -Superior/A Cut Above Superior, Jancis Robinson
Et Fille 2021 Palmer Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Darkly flora, the 2021 Palmer Creek slowly opens with dusty rose and violet tones before giving way to crushed blackberries and hints of rosemary. This is a model of purity with with creamy textures and ripe wild berries swirling over a core of juicy acidity. It takes on a grippy feel as tactile mineral tones energe toward the close. Blue and purple floral repletes through the lightly structured finale as the 2021 finishes long and staining. There are layers beneath the surface that only cellaring will reveal. What a beauty. Drink 2025-2033.” -94 Points, Vinous
Et Fille 2021 Palmer Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Pouring a vibrant ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Palmer Creek Vineyard comes from the Eola-Amity Hills and has more complexity and yet is also more transparent, with layers of fresh spices, grenadine, cinnamon, and fresh roses. Medium-bodied and energetic, with ripe tannins and an elegant perfume that lasts on the finish, it’s drinking wonderfully now and will drink well over the next 6-8 years.” -94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Et Fille 2021 Palmer Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Crushed raspberries, pink peppercorns, lavender, lemon zest and rosemary here. Elegant and tight with fine tannins and a sleek, peppery and long finish. Very pretty. Drink from 2024.” -93 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2021 Palmer Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Pale ruby in colour. A more savoury note to this wine than the Maresh or Heredity: charcuterie and dried mushroom in the mix with rose petals, dried mint and cherry. High fresh acidity and bright red fruit on the palate with a lingering finish. Lovely. 2023-2029.” -Superior, Jancis Robinson
Et Fille 2021 Gabriella Pinot Noir: “A spicy, wild and flavorful pinot with aromas of raspberries, strawberries, nutmeg, toast and licorice. Lots packed into a medium body, supported by tight-grained tannins. Wild berry fruit evolves to spice and dark chocolate. Long and delicious. Drink or hold.” -94 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2021 Gabriella Pinot Noir: “Aged for 20 months in 60% new and 40% once-used French oak barrels, the 2021 Gabriella Pinot Noir from Et Fille is another quaffable and delicious wine from the estate. Wonderfully aromatic, boasting notes of red raspberries, crushed blueberries, toasted Christmas spices, and shades of Chinese 5 spice. Tannins are tight yet sweet, while the lemony acidity finishes things off nicely.” -94 Points, International Wine Report
Et Fille 2021 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Aged for 11 months in 50% new and 50% once-used French oak barrels, the Pommard clone Maresh Pinot Noir sports a glistening neon ruby core with a light pink rim in the glass. It delivers notes of cinnamon sticks, Bing cherries, wild raspberries, lavender, and a kiss of cherry cola. The palate is more savory than the nose, with dried herbs and grilled lemon zest taking center stage. Ripe tannins, lemony acidity, and a long finish complete the wine.” -93 Points, International Wine Report
Et Fille 2021 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Pale ruby in colour. Vanilla blossom and cola melt into the waxy rose aromas on this wine, more noticeable oak than the Heredity but very well integrated with the fresh red-fruit aromas. Fresh, bright red plum and raspberry on the palate that carries through on a firm acid spine and fine tannins– more structured than the Heredity and with more complexity on the finish. This portfolio tends towards litheness and elegance over mass, but this is the plushest of the bunch. 2023-2031.” -Superior/A Cut Above Superior, Jancis Robinson
Et Fille 2021 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir: “They say wine is made in the vineyard. In that case, Maresh Vineyard is a great place to work. Et Fille has translated that epic Maresh fruit into an elegant Pinot Noir filled with aromas and flavors of red cherries, pomegranate seeds, wet rocks, loamy soil, orange blossom flowers and black tea. Bright acidity makes for an electric texture to pair with silky tannins.” -92 Points and Editor’s Choice, Wine Enthusiast
Et Fille 2021 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Blossoms in the glass with rosy florals and sweet herbs complemented by wild strawberry depths. This is softly textured and round with a candied inner sweetness and ripe red and blue fruits. It finishes with a licorice tinge and admirable length while remaining juicy and perfumed. Drink 2024-2028.” -92 Points, Vinous
Et Fille 2019 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir: “A wildly elegant and beautifully aromatic Pinot Noir crafted from the highly sought-after Maresh Vineyard fruit, 50-year-old vines, atop the Dundee Hills. Fantastic, gorgeous aromatics of turned earth, black tea, forest floor, and notes of early-season blackberry. The palate is light and lively, with red and blue fruits, clove, anise and a delightful savoury character. A wine that reminds me why Oregon Pinot Noir is my first love.” -95 Points, Decanter
Et Fille 2019 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Very clean and fresh with cool blueberry and green-strawberry character. Medium-bodied with candied-lemon and hibiscus flavors. Firm and bright at the end. Drink now or hold.” -93 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2019 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “Aromas of ripe strawberries, fresh flowers and grated nutmeg. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, silky tannins. Pretty on the palate. Lots of fresh red berries and thyme. Fruity and long. Best after 2025.” -94 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2019 Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir: “From the Kalita Vineyard, a concave, amphitheatre-shaped site in Yamhill-Carlton that has consistently delivered high-calibre Pinot Noir, the Et Fille blocks are among the highest elevations. The aromatics are generous, with cola, cloves and dark red and blue fruit notes. The palate is silken and so elegant, ripe sweet blueberries mixed with classic 'sous bois' character and black tea. Fleshy and flashy, this redolent wine offers plenty of ripeness and balances it with a beautiful mineral-rich character.” -93 Points, Decanter
Et Fille 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: “Graceful and pretty, with elegantly multilayered raspberry and strawberry flavors accented by rose petal and toasty spice, which sail on the supple finish toward plush tannins. Drink now through 2029.” -93 Points, Wine Spectator
Et Fille 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir: “Attractive ripeness for this 2019, offering strawberry and dried-cherry character and some meaty undertones. Medium body. Creamy tannins. Drink or hold.” -93 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2019 Palmer Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir: “A floral nose of violets and roses with notes of ripe red cherries and sage as well. Medium-bodied with a solid core of red fruit. Fine, taught tannins. Nutmeg and ground allspice add pleasant complexity. Juicy and generous. Best after 2025.” -93 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2019 Fairsing Vineyard Pinot Noir: “A 2019 with some pretty and relatively ripe fruit notes, as well as hibiscus. It’s medium-bodied with a tight palate and a creamy finish. Hints of dried citrus at the end. Drink now or hold.” -92 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2019 Gabriella Pinot Noir: Named after Jessica's daughter, the 2019 Pinot Noir Gabriella is a barrel selection of the top vineyard sites and sees 38% new oak for 20 months. Because they over-vintage this wine, it takes a more serious nature, offering notes of cherry licorice, woodsy spice, beet root, and crushed flowers. Medium to full-bodied, it has a richer profile, with iron-rich earth, ripe tannins, and floral notes that last throughout, while retaining fresh, seamless acidity. This exceptional wine will drink well over the coming 10 years or more and will benefit from another year or two in bottle. 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck
Et Fille 2019 Gabriella Pinot Noir: “Dark berries, earth and spice with some dried lemons and apple sweets on the nose. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a fresh, bright finish. Drink or hold.” -92 Points, James Suckling
Et Fille 2019 Heredity Pinot Noir: 92 Points and Editor’s Choice, Wine Enthusiast
