®Ratings of Our 2005 VintageWine Spectator - 93.....2005 Et Fille Elton Vineyard Pinot Noir "Crisp and immensely generous, pumping away at its blackberry, cherry and delicate spice flavors on a lithe, medium-weight frame, with a finish that won’t quit. An expressive wine with great presence. Best from 2008 through 2015." 93.....2005 Et Fille Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir "Supple and velvety in texture, this bursts with blueberry and currant fruit, with creamy, spicy overtones adding depth to the distinctive finish. Has tremendous presence and style, yet remains refined. Best from 2008 through 2015." 91.....2005 Et Fille Kalita Vineyard Pinot Noir "This small, quirky producer has beauty in this single-vineyard wine. On the light side, with a polished edge to the raspberry and sweet cream flavors, lingering on the delicious finish. Drink now through 2015." 91.....2005 Et Fille Palmer Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir "This one sneaks up on you, starting off light and simple but gaining complexity and depth with each sip without losing its essential litheness and grace. Pretty plum and blackberry flavors persist through the crisp finish. Much better than when tasted earlier. Better than previously reviewed. Drink now through 2015. 100 cases made." 88.....2005 Et Fille Willamette Valley Pinot Noir "Lithe, open-textured and appealing for its plum and dried tomato flavors that linger nicely against refined acidity. Drink now through 2011. 140 cases made."
