A tale of two cities. Bottle #1 had an enjoyable nose of decaying earth, red fruits and with air some darker fruit. One could tell it was a ‘96 given the unresolved tannins and the powerful acid. Mushrooms and darker fruit in the mouth. Bottle #2 unfortunately was DOA.. Very shrill and stewed fruit. — 3 months ago

Light bodied red… strawberry notes especially on the nose. Some spice notes. Very decent bottle from Publix, think I’m enjoying this vintage more than last years. — 23 days ago

As always, this wine over-acheives and blows away other red Burgundy from more celebrated appellations. Med ruby. Pronounced, perfumed nose of red berries and cherries turning tertiary. Spice, leather, and sandalwood. The palate is medium bodied, tannins are mildly medium structured. The flavor intensity is perfect, med+ like Burgundy should be with a long, haunting finish. — 2 months ago

Thanksgiving week so time to open this PDX baby up, made in Portland but grapes grown in Columbia Valley (they are an urban winery, fun place to visit). Purple, slightly cloudy, medium pigment extraction. Blackberries, blueberries and black currants in the nose. Soft, moderate alcohol, fruit with length and mild seed tannins in the finish and aftertaste. Graphite as well. I love this stuff in the autumn; get some now. Nothing fancy, just tasty, rustic and evocative — 12 days ago
