Whites
2010 Sauvignon Blanc
This very vibrant wine offers exciting tropical fruit aromas of ripe banana, pineapple and apple with a kiss of summer hay. On the palette are flavors of unripe pear, kiwi and grapefruit with a hint of lemon grass. The finish is long and lovely with beautiful acidity that keeps your palette wanting more.
This is a layered wine with lots to offer and truly evolves as you drink the bottle. So few Sauvignon Blancs in the Umpqua Valley and this one is as good as they get anywhere. Very versatile wine for food pairing. Classic with goat cheese, white fish, sushi and salads with vinaigrette dressings.
'10 Pinot Gris
Light and tangy with a pear, apple, lemongrass and citrus aroma and flavor. Lovely honey and fruit on the palette with a bright citrus finish. Pinot Gris is known for its uncomplicated easy drinking style and this pinot gris is no exception. This quintessential summer time wine will please both the most experienced wine drinker as well as the occasional wine imbiber. Refreshing to sip a glass or two all by itself but pairs well with light food dishes such as pasta salads or fish dishes with just a hint of spice. Pair this wine with our Grilled Cumin, Curry Shrimp.
'09 Gewurztraminer
This is a lovely round wine with soft fruit and complex floral aromas. Pear, melon and honey suckle fill the nose with just a hint of citrus and minerality. On the palate the wine has so much to offer with layers with pear, apple, melon, honey, straw, lemon and just a hint of spice. The great finish and round texture linger on the palate. The complexity of this wine demands further exploration and it is well balanced with just the right amount of acidity. This wine was purposely not cold stabilized in order to allow for each precious flavor layer to stand out to its fullest. And they do! Excellent food wine and pairs well with slightly spicy dishes such as Thai curries. Try it with Muenster cheese... magical!
'09 Reisling
This is a very beautiful, complex wine with so many layers one could spend many hours just uncovering the aromas and flavors this wine presents. Huge perfumed tropical nose with aromas and flavors of pear, apple, melon, honeysuckle, lemon cream, straw and soft floral notes with just a hint of minerality. The mouth feel is big, soft and creamy and the rich, intense finish stays with you allowing the enjoyment of this wine to linger. Beautiful to enjoy on its own but Rieslings complexity makes it one of the most diverse food wines and this one will pair well with Asian dishes, assorted cheeses as well as fish and chicken dishes
'06 Chardonnay
Aromas of wildflowers, subtle green apple and tropical fruit guide you into notes of warm toasty vanilla, pleasuring the palate with a lingering, satiny finish. Pair this wine with our Chicken in Tarragon Cream Sauce.
