2007 Reserve Syrah
This is an earthy syrah with deep fruit, big black pepper spice and aromas of smoked meat. A medium bodied syrah with rich round flavors of black cherry, pomegranate, plum, cloves. Simply a delicious example of what the Umpqua Valley can do with syrah and why we think no region does it better. Much like the Rhone region in France our climate allows for syrah to ripen with great fruit flavors while keeping the spiciness intact. Layered and interesting this wine pairs well with barbecued meats sausages, lamb and roast beef.
'09 Meritage
Smoky and warm with delicate hints of black raspberry. A soft, subtle and luxurious blend, with an elegant refined finish.
'08 Cabernet Sauvignon
A decadent bouquet of plum, blackberry and tobacco, with layers of dark fruit on the mid palate, ending with an alluring finish that goes on and on and on...
'06 Cabernet Sauvignon
Classic Cab nose with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, black tea, green pepper, tobacco, caramel and leather. This is a complex Cabernet with layers of ripe blackberry and plum fruit, rich earthiness and just a hint of eucalyptus and spice. Lots to discover in this wine and your time will be well spent enjoying all it has to offer. Pairs well with fillet mignon or new york steak.
'08 Syrah
Warmer weather produced a more intense smokey, spicy nose with a hint of rose petals and big jammy fruit on the palette. Tastes of black cherry, current, plum, black pepper and cloves. Intense flavors and the hearty tannins and acid make this a perfect food wine.This big fruity Syrah pairs well with beef stew or rack of lamb.
'08 Zinfandel
Ah yes... Zinfandel in Oregon. This is a cooler weather Zinfandel resulting in a lighter bodied, softer style Zinandel. Very well balanced with well integrated flavors of rich, dark fruit. Flavors and aromas of raspberry, cherry, plums, spice and black pepper. Well finessed fruit, tannins and acid creating a well rounded, easy to drink wine. Surprisingly enough this wine pairs beautifully with Mexican food. Once you try it with Gourmet Three Cheese Enchiladas you will never go back to drinking margaritas again!
