2020 Pursued by Bear Syrah ‘Baby Bear’ Columbia Valley I’ve had this wine ever year since this the first vintage, and this is my favorite vintage so far. Baby’s distilled essence of blackberry aroma joins forces with notes of dried cranberries and fresh-pulled espresso shots. The medium-bodied, balaced Syrah’s flavors run from white pepper and bacon fat to more blackberries drizzled in lemon juice. Editors’ Choice. Wine Enthusiast 93 2024-06-17
2023 Pursued by Bear Rose 'Blushing Bear' Columbia Valley The Blushing Bear is 67% Grenache, 33% Mourvèdre and 100% pretty in pink. The opening act of dried rose petals, peach, blood orange and wet slate is a winning one. Guava and sweet Ruby grapefruit flavors surf a crisp mouthfeel, fueled by a laser beam acidity and a bit of thyme. Wine Enthusiast 90 2024-06-17

2021 Lornano Chianti Classico The nose offers aromas of tangerine peel, citrus blossom, cherry and strawberry, before the tang of graphite, pencil shavings and pepper joins. More cherry on the palate before the peppery earthiness returns for balance, with warming acid and firm, taut tannins. Best Buy. Wine Enthusiast 90 2024-06-17
2022 Giuliano Rosati Chianti The intensely earthy, umami nose features aromas of soil, mushrooms, pepper and balsamic, but fruit notes of black cherries and dark berries provide balance while preserving a feeling of depth. The earth and black cherry tones headline the palate, before a bitter, slightly spicy finish. Best Buy. Wine Enthusiast Best Buy 2024-06-17
2020 Lornano Chianti Classico Riserva A very herbaceous, earthy nose of topsoil, fennel, mint, oregano and tomato leaf gets some sweetness from a handful of wild strawberries. On the palate, cherries underscore that strawberry element, although chalky tannins and lively acid simultaneously lift an enduring, flinty earthiness. Wine Enthusiast 90 2024-06-17
2023 Raza Vinho Verde 'Raza' The wine is dry, light and full of grassy aromas. It has light citrus fruits and a bright, crisp aftertaste. Drinkable now. Best Buy. Wine Enthusiast Best Buy 2024-06-17
2021 Dunham Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley Trutina can wreck a diet with its aromas of dark chocolate brownie mix, cassis and a melting beeswax candle. The Merlot-driven blend’s blueberry flavor is pierced by notes of strong coffee and balsa. This wine would be a fine match for bacon burgers and The Black Crowes album of your choice.

2020 Dunham Cabernet Sauvignon 'XXVI' Columbia Valley The XXVI is filled to the brim with aromas and flavors of black cherries, dark chocolate, violets, vanilla and cedar. Toward the finish, there’s also a forest floor-like note of dried oak leaves. This is a fuller-bodied wine with a texture as silky as its tannins. Wine Enthusiast 92 2024-06-17
2022 Dunham Three Legged Red The story of an injured dog being rescued by a winemaker will always make the Three Legged Red a sentimental favorite of mine. This latest vintage starts with earthy oregano and duff aromas, followed by notes of blackberry and black tea. Brawny tannins back a rich boysenberry jam flavor that is accented by lemon zest and caraway seeds. Woof. Best Buy. Wine Enthusiast 91 2024-06-17
