Oregon Wines!!!! Opinions Please!

As far as Oregon red sweets, Chateau Lorane has a late harvest Marechal Foch that is nice. Giradett produces a late harvest de chenauc that is also very good. Oregon, in particular, the Willamette valley is suited to pinot noir and its white counterpart, chardonnay. Both are grown in abundance in Oregon. There are less cabs in the WV section but there are some in the southern appellations: rogue and umpqua. Oregon wineries, from what I've seen, seem to like to experiment a bit. You will see some rare and unusual varietals. I am sure Bucko and CCK, who are much, MUCH more experianced Northwest wine drinkers can give you some more information.
