Pinot Noir Rogue Valley |
If you are in need of a well-priced Pinot packed with acidity, this southern Oregon treat is for you. A rich blackberry aroma is matched with notes of pine needles and periwinkle flowers. The crisp palate hosts pears, raspberries and green-tea flavors, all driven by juicy, lemony acidity. |

Foris |
Gewurztraminer Rogue Valley |
Lime, lemon verbena and Mandarin orange aromas are accompanied by an interesting yeasty baked-good note. The other surprise is the wine’s body and fuller mouthfeel. Tangerine sorbet and lemon-basil flavors surround a savory note that is close to seared scallops. Lively acidity. Best Buy. |

Foris |
Pinot Gris Rogue Valley |
This lively Pinot Gris is light on body but long on flavor and acidity. Its blood-orange juice, crushed chalk and peach-flavored gummy-bear aromas are fun and frisky. The wine’s texture is clean and crisp, with more peach flavor and burst of ginger and lemon basil. Best Buy. |

Lava Cap |
Petite Sirah El Dorado |
A bit shy on the nose, this full-bodied red opens up on the palate with notes of blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, red and black plum, chocolate, vanilla and licorice. Elevated (16.2%) alcohol is balanced by the ripeness and voluptuousness of the fruits and the firm tannic texture. |

Pursued by Bear |
Rose 'Blushing Bear' Columbia Valley |
This stainless-steel fermented and aged rosé is the perfect accompaniment to a Saint-Tropez tan. Lemon, wild-strawberry and rosemary aromas are fresh and inviting. Tangy tangerine and sweet Fuji apple flavors nimbly pirouette on a crisp texture driven by brisk acidity. This bear is just right. Editors’ Choice. |

Two Hands |
Bella’s Garden' Shiraz |
Densely packed aromas of black currant cordial, violets, mint, cedar, bay leaf and ground baking spice carry through to a full-figured palate that oozes jammy fruit. It’s balanced by savory spiced tannins, a touch of toasty oak and a good lick of acidity. Drink now with a decanter at hand and throughout the next decade. Cellar Selection. |
