New Arrivals
2019 Planet Oregon Willamette Valley Rose Bubbles, $23
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes: Super cool local sparkling Rosé by one of our favorite vintners at Soter Vineyards. It’s sustainably and organically farmed, and a portion of the proceeds of the Planet Oregon wines are donated to the Oregon Environmental Council. In addition to the commendable mission here, this bottle is also super tasty! Full and rich on the palate, with generous strawberry fruit. Great warm weather wine. Great brunch fare wine.
2017 Domaine Bruno Clair ‘Gran Vin de Bourgogne’ Marsannay Rosé, $28
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes: Domaine Bruno Clair is a prestigious French Burgundy winery and wine family, with a history of producing top quality wines for over a century. This rosé is fantastic. Plump body and ruby colored. Subtle herbs and macerated red berries on the palate, with a pleasant balance of acidity. This wine screams for an herbed pork chop. Yum. Extremely Limited! We were only able to bring in 8 bottles - so grab this while you can!!
2014 Fattorio Dezi, ‘Dezio Rosso,’ $25
Grapes: 100% Montepulciano
Tasting Notes: Central Italian red from the region of Le Marche. Initially fruit forward with black and red fruit tones, firm tannic structure, and earthy forest floor herbs in the finish. We recommend popping this bottle and letting it breath for about 45 minutes before enjoying. This wine would be a great compliment to a savory mushroom focused dish.
Geek of the Week
2013 Forlorn Hope ‘Nacre’, $26
Grapes: 100% Semillon
Tasting Notes: Very unique wine by a cooky vintner with a cult following. Grown in the heart of Napa Valley, winemaker Matthew Rorick’s ‘Nacre’ is exceptional. He takes organically grown and handpressed 100% Semillon grape juice, then ferments in stainless steel with natural fermentation. Next, he lets the wine age in bottle for a minimum of 5 years before releasing. This wine can easily age for decades, but I recommend enjoying immediately! Crisp and focused acidity, with layers of depth of flavor on the palate. This wine is outstanding.
