Pinot Noir 'Rocheaux' Chehalem Mountains |
Red raspberries lead a roller coaster ride of aromas that include wet stone, sage, lavender and lemonade. A darker boysenberry and blackberry fruit combination joins flavors like aged balsamic vinegar and agave. Brilliant acidity steers the ship, along with an assist from silky tannins. |

Pinot Noir 'Cote Est' Chehalem Mountains |
Wild mushrooms and other forest floor wonders are earthy aromatic treats, followed by notes of black cherry and violets. Silky tannins and a moderate amount of acidity help create a slick and slippery environment for flavors like blackberry jam, clove and cedar. Medium-bodied, with a long finish. |

Pinot Noir ‘Trajet Reserve’ Chehalem Mountains |
Blackberries and violets are just the aromatic introduction. The background notes of earth, crushed brick dust and the salinity of a sea marsh are even more compelling. The wine’s leathery texture bonds with flavors of blueberries, unsweetened chocolate, black tea and tart red cherries. Firm tannins, with vibrating acidity. Editors’ Choice. |

Zinfandel North Coast |
This wine offers a great balance of fresh pops of fruit driven by acidity, and oak integration. It’s all interwoven by a firm tannic structure that adds a solid backbone. Enjoy notes of boysenberry, red and black cherry and plum, chocolate, cut wood, black pepper, violets and dried leaf litter. |

Pinot Noir 'Red Label' Chehalem Mountains |
Blackberry and black pepper aromas are an excellent introduction to this balanced estate wine. The wine has a slick and slippery mouthfeel, with velvety tannins and restrained acidity. Flavors like black cherry compote and orange zest coat the palate in pleasing fashion. The Red Label spent 11 months in French oak, 30% new. |

Cederberg |
Shiraz |
There are aromatic notes of cherries, strawberries and black pepper on the nose. After 15 months of oak aging, barrel-driven spices integrate well into the fruity palate. It’s structured, with firm tannins and good acidity carrying the flavors from the mid-palate through the close. |

Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley |
Trutina is Latin for “balance,” making it a fitting name for this blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is filled with aromas and flavors of black cherries, dark chocolate, lemon, lilacs and cedar. Silky tannins and bright acidity reflect harmony and balance. |

Chianti Classico |
The 2021 Chianti Classico is redolent of rose petal, mint, orange peel, cinnamon, kirsch and new leather. Exotic and engaging, with striking aromatic presence, the Chianti Classico is a winner in 2021. I especially admire its energy. |
