Jean-Marc Burgaud |
Morgon Grands Cras |
The Grand Cras lieu-dit is one notoriously hard to understand, with Jean-Marc saying it took him 10 years to figure out the best way to vinify the wine; but on the evidence of this 2022, it seems he has figured it out. The 2022 Morgon Grands Cras offers notes of currants, licorice, cracked white pepper and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, the wine shows strong delineation, with a sharp attack, fine-grained tannins and tinges of bitterness. It has remarkable depth, characterized by savory notes of brine and dried sage, further ringed with a wet-stone salinity that takes over the palate on the finish. The wine possesses a rustic nature typical of the terroir, lending it the charm of authenticity. |

Three Legged Red |
Made from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, this was stored in almost all neural oak before bottling. Tar and anise combine with rich dark fruits and chocolate on the nose. The palate is fresh and shows good viscosity on the palate. Polished and showing good balance, this medium bodied effort is already showing beautifully right now. A steal at only twenty dollars. Drink 2024-2029 |

Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley |
This brilliant 2022 edition of Dunham Cellars Trutina has a higher percentage of Merlot (64%) than most vintages. Stored in roughly 30% new French oak, this offers rich toasty oak with chocolate, black currants, mocha and coffee ground notes. The palate is rich and velvety with great balance and poise. Rich and viscous, with a silky texture, this is drinking beautifully right now. Enjoy now and over the next decade. Drink 2024-2034 |

Sauvignon Blanc |
Vivid citrus and fresh-herb aromas lead to an equally vibrant palate that blends delicious ripe fruit with good acidity. Rather light-bodied and quite appetizing. Drink now. Screw cap. |

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. |
