Eden Vale MidSummer's Cuvee 2007
This wine brings out the best in each of the varietals represented; Chardonnay for body, Pinot Gris for crispness and Viognier for a wonderful nose and finish. A great sipping wine for spring and summer.
Devitt Chardonnay 2006
Layne Vineyards is the source of these grapes. They whole-cluster-pressed the grape juice into small oak casks for fermentation. This wine is heavy bodied, with tropical fruit flavors and a hint of oak. The wine is un-fined and un-filtered and will throw a sediment in the bottle with time.
The Academy Pinot Noir 2005
From their Applegate vineyard and winery, Betty and Barney Smith grow and produce this exceptional Pinot Noir…although not what you might expect. The wine is dark, juicy and extracted, showing tons of berry upfront. It finishes long and clean and will pair with a wide range of grilled meats or poultry.
Abacela Merlot 2007
A cool ripening period preserved the grapes’ natural acidity and delicate aromas. You’ll find deep ripe currant, blackberry, and slightly jammy blueberry aromas with herbal, spice, and toasty hints. This wine will age gracefully over the next three to five years and be ideal with pan roasted pork medallions and herbed compound butter.
Valley View Syrah 2005
Syrah is Southern Oregon's Pinot Noir: a grape that always shows terrior (the soils and area where it is grown) and the specifics variation of that vintage. The 2003 vintage was perfect for a "Rhone" style Syrah. Generally this means that this wine is more balanced and less "jammy," more Earthy, meaty flavors and the fruit is not as sweet. This is a serious wine that is destined to win you over.
Velo Red Wine 2008
The name is a nod to the bicycle Gus uses to make his frequent vineyard rounds. Plummy garnet color with lively reflection, pink rim. Bright, sophisticated aromas of plum-skin and black cherry play off the perfume of fresh raspberries, with notes of cocoa, vanilla bean and baking spices. Generous in themouth as the flavor fans across the palate: dark, rich and smooth. Finishes full of lively fruit with a food-friendly structure and balance that invites another sip.
