Our Wines
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.
'07 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!
'06 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
