Thursday, May 23, 20132011 Raptor Ridge Pinot Noir
This is the standard wine from these Newberg Oregon
producers who also producer higher quality and vineyard level wines. The color of the wine is a deep garnet that
is translucent and sets well in the glass.
he nose is loam, raspberry fruit with slight esters and spice. The palate shows an immediate acidic
structure with a semi sweet fruit, light body, with a nice overall feel in the
mouth. This is quite young but should be
drunk that way, it's as enjoyable as it will ever be.
Score: 88
Cost: $ 25
Wine Type: Pinot Noir, Oregon, Willamette Valley

Thursday, May 23, 20132009 Rosellas Cabernet Sauvignon
This Applegate Valley Cabernet has big shoes to fill. The prior vintages of this wine are some of
the wine geeks favorite Southern Oregon Cabernets. The wine is dark ruby with a nose of dark
fruit, forest floor, charcoal and vanilla.
On the palate this Cabernet is full bodied, fruit forward with a tocuh
of chocolate leading into a smooth middle and quite firm tannic finish. This is a delightful big red wine now and
will be even better if you can wait for it.
Score: 92
Cost: $ 30

Thursday, May 23, 20132007 Francis Tannahill Grenache
This Grenache has inky dark red plum color with a dark
fruit, nutmeg, and spice nose. The wine
is not overly fined or filtered they let this wine speak for itself. The palate shows a beautiful full, fruity
wood start with a nice compliment of spice middle and soft lingering tannin. There is a soft creamy, medium mouth feel,
that keeps you coming back until it leaves you asking," Why is the wine
gone?" This is an easy drinking
wine and will be appreciated by aficionados and newcomers alike.
Score: 90

Tuesday, May 07, 20132010 Foris fly-over white
This
wine blend is mostly Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris with a straw color
and a nose of melons and citrus. We served it quite chilled which produced a
light refreshing wine with melons, acids, and minerality on the palate. A nice summer sip you should try.

This is a visually beautiful Pinot with a darker ruby

Wednesday, April 17, 20132009 Folin Cellars Tempranillo
This
Tempranillo from the Rogue Valley is a deep and dark red. The nose shows a big dark fruit, plums,
olives and smoke with a touch of vanilla for the oak. The fruit is delicious sweet and full bodied when
held on the palate. The wine moves into
a nice middle and supple tannic finish that is lingering and enjoyable. This four year old could do well with another
year in the bottle but is very drinkable now.
Score: 91
Cost: $ 30
Wine Type: Tempranillo, Southern Oregon, Rogue Valley
