There are a lot of problems in growing Pinot Noir -- many think it is the struggle that makes it one of the premier grapes (Pinot Noir is the main grape of red wines from Burgundy). Oregon is well known for the quality of its Pinot Noir grapes (even among the Burgundians) -- what it lacks is limestone (other than a 1,000 year history to figure out which sites are best).
These grapes look pretty good:
But you can see a couple of grapes are squished in. At DRC, they go thru the grapes on a sorting table and select only the best for their wines -- a few of which can be had for less than a thousand dollars a bottle. The top crus in Bordeaux do the same thing.
These grapes will also be put on a sorting table, but rather than pick the grapes to use, the worst grapes will be picked out and thrown away. The rest will go on to the pressing (crush); the winemaker will select out some vats or barrels for his own use in his own label (costing from $25 to $45 per bottle), and the rest will be make into wine for the vinyard owner's label (which he sells for $20 per bottle).
