Whites and Rosé

(Oregon) 2020 Upper Five Rogue Valley Rosé
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Notes: Medium-bodied with tart cherry fruit and nicely balanced acidity.  

(Italy) 2020 Inama Vin Soave
Grapes: 100% Garganega

Notes: Surprisingly tasty Italian table wine from the Northern appellation of Soave. Crisp green apple and lemon peel. Delish. 

(Oregon) 2019 Eyrie Vineyards Estate Willamette Valley Pinot Gris
Grapes: 100% Pinot Gris

Notes: Floral aromas, with lush tangy fruit. Eyrie's Estate Pinot Gris is solid year after year. 

(France) 2019 Les pentes de Barène ‘Tursan’ Blanc
Grapes: Blend of Baroque, Gros Manseng, and Sauvignon Blanc

Notes: Very cool French blend from the lesser-known appellation of 'Tursan' in Southwest France. This wine tastes like taking a bite out of a ripe ruby grapefruit- flesh, pith, and all. It's a fantastic bottle for under $20!

(France) 2020 Domaine Hippolyte ‘Reverdy’ Sancerre
Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Notes: Nicely textured mouthfeel, grapefruit and green apple mid-palate, fine acidity and a hint of lemongrass in the finish. 

(Oregon) 2020 Human Cellars ‘A Los Granjeros’ Eola-Amity Chardonnay
Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

Notes: Awesome local, small-batch Chardonnay from the husband and wife team that makes the Human Cellars wine. Rich and full-bodied with a pleasant balance of new and neutral oak, mineral-driven with ripe yellow apple fruit. 

Reds

(Italy) 2020 Francesco Rinaldi ‘Roussot’
Grapes: 100% Dolcetto

Notes: Great new release from one of our favorite Piedmont producers in Northern Italy. Medium-bodied with plump blue fruit tones and a fun black pepper streak through the midpalate. Great bottle for bolognese penne and freshly grated parm. 

(France) 2016 Chateau de Grandchamp
Grapes: Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon

Notes: Chateau de Grandchamp is one of our go-to red Bordeaux producers. Full-bodied, dense, dark-fruited, with well integrated tannins. Stellar cold weather red!

(Italy) 2020 Capranera Aglianico
Grapes: 100% Aglianico

Notes: Great Tuesday night pizza wine. This bottle is uncomplicated, with lively red and blue fruit tones and a touch of tannin in the finish. Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes Red.

(France) 2011 Copertino Riserva
Grapes: Blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera

Notes: Fun value bottle of Italian red! Prominent funky old-world aromas of iron and cedar, tart red fruit tones, and check out the vintage: the most recent release is from 2011! Gotta love that old-world wine making. So cool! 

(Spain) 2018 Litrona ‘clos Lentiscus’
Grapes: 100% Sumoll

Notes: Crunchy raspberry and forest floor herbs, lean on the midpalate, firm, sharp, structured finish. 

(Washington) 2018 K Vintners ‘Milbrandt Syrah’
Grapes: 100% Syrah

Notes: Lush purple and black fruit, rich density, light vanilla and dark chocolate.
