First Impression
The wine list at Ten 01 lands with the confidence of a restaurant that knows exactly who it is: a Pearl District anchor with dramatic bones and a deep affection for Oregon wine. You open it and immediately see the Willamette Valley given the reverence it deserves, flanked by smart French and California additions that don't feel like afterthoughts. It's not trying to surprise you — it's trying to impress you, and mostly it does.
Selection Deep Dive
The list runs 150 to 300 bottles deep, and the Oregon section is the clear star — Domaine Drouhin, Lingua Franca, Evening Land, and Adelsheim all have a seat at the table, which is essentially a murderers' row of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Burgundy shows up as the obvious companion, with enough depth to satisfy the French-leaning diner without tipping into obsession. California and Rhône round out the list and feel appropriately curated rather than obligatory. The gaps are minor — if you're hunting for something from Iberia or the Southern Hemisphere, you'll be doing it elsewhere.
By the Glass
Somewhere between 12 and 20 pours by the glass, which is a solid number for a restaurant at this price point. The glass program leans predictably toward Oregon, and that's the right call — you're in Portland, you should be drinking Willamette Valley Pinot. Rotation cadence is unclear, but with a sommelier on staff, you'd expect the pours to stay reasonably current and not gather dust.
Adelsheim Vineyard Pinot Noir — $65
Adelsheim is one of the founding families of Oregon Pinot and still one of the most consistent. At a restaurant in this tier, it tends to be priced more reasonably than the prestige names on the same list — you get serious Willamette Valley terroir without paying the Lingua Franca premium.
Evening Land Vineyards Seven Springs Pinot Noir
Most tables at Ten 01 are going to reach for Domaine Drouhin by name recognition alone. Evening Land's Seven Springs is the sleeper — a cooler-climate, Eola-Amity Hills expression that drinks with more tension and precision than its table neighbors. Wine-curious guests who ask the sommelier about it tend to get very excited very fast.
Lingua Franca Pinot Noir
Lingua Franca is genuinely excellent wine — Larry Stone and Master Sommelier-driven, serious stuff. But its profile means it commands a significant restaurant markup, and at Ten 01's price tier you're likely paying a 3-4x retail multiple. Save it for a bottle shop and drink it at home with a candle.
Domaine Drouhin Oregon Pinot Noir + Pacific Northwest Salmon
Drouhin's Oregon Pinot has that particular combination of red fruit and earthy restraint that makes it one of the few reds that genuinely works with salmon — especially when the fish is prepared simply and the kitchen lets the Pacific Northwest sourcing do the talking. It's the most Oregon thing you can do at this table.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Ten 01 is the kind of wine program that a Portland restaurant of this caliber should have — well-chosen Oregon producers, a sommelier who actually knows the list, and enough range to keep a table of mixed wine nerds and casual drinkers happy. The markups are the main friction point, but if you stick to the right bottles, this is a very solid night of drinking.
