($19): Dick Erath was a pioneer in the Oregon wine industry when he planted his first vines about 40 years ago.  Erath is still a leader in producing top-notch wines, especially Pinot Noir.  This straightforward wine, made from purchased fruit from throughout the state, has simple, direct, cherry-like fruit flavors touched by a hint of earthiness.  Good acidity keeps it fresh. 86 Michael Apstein Nov 25, 2008
