Averaen Pinot Noir 2017, Willamette Valley, Oregon
$23.00
REGION
Willamette Valley, Oregon
VARIETAL
Pinot Noir
TASTING NOTES
The Averaen opens with aromatic plumes of red fruits and earth – spiced raspberry and macerated strawberry aromas are blackened by sappy/maple tones and elevated by fresh-cut flowers, cardamom and sanguine notes. A lively and explosive entry of summer berries gives way to a decked-out mid-palate wrapping the red-blue berry character around a generous core of sage, allspice and licorice. Tightly knit layers of fruit, earth and oak & stem derived tannins provide a long, electrifying finish. -Importer's Notes

Division 'Béton' 2017, Applegate Valley, Oregon
$26.00
REGION
Applegate Valley, Oregon
VARIETAL
65% Cabernet Franc, 20% Gamay Noir, 10% Côt & 5% Pinot Noir
TASTING NOTES
We are very excited about the 2017 Division-Villages “Béton” blend., perhaps the most unique yet. The Cabernet Franc from Quady was definitely impacted by the southern Oregon wildfires, AKA vintage “terroir,” adds a complexity and depth not seen before. The wine demonstrates rich black fruit, classic pyrazines and an almost Mezcal like smokiness.. The palate is brooding yet fresh and mineral rich with gorgeous dark berries across the midpalate. We are excited by how well the Béton is drinking now, but anticipate this vintage to need some time for all elements to find harmony. -Winemaker's Notes
Ransom 'Jigsaw' Pinot Noir 2015, Willamette Valley, Oregon
$20.00
REGION
Willamette Valley, Oregon
VARIETAL
Pinot Noir
TASTING NOTES
The unique pieces of the Willamette Valley’s distinctive terroir fit seamlessly together in the 2015 Jigsaw Pinot Noir. The aromatic entry yields notes of blackcap raspberry and cacao, and the wine is a deep garnet hue in the glass. On the palate, lush flavors of black cherry and spice are interwoven with an elegant mineral vein. Fine, velveteen tannins and a hint of salted caramel give weight and fullness to a savory mid - palate. The wine finishes long and supple with flavors of sarsaparilla and sweet earth. Giving and ready to drink now, with ample finesse to cellar. -Winemaker's Notes
Swick 'Bring It' 2017, Yamhill County, Oregon
$27.00
REGION
Newberg, Yamhill County, Oregon
VARIETAL
Pinot Noir, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Malbec & Graciano
TASTING NOTES
Wow, that's a lot of grapes. We know the name "Bring It" sounds intimidating however; we believe our friend and winemaker Joe Swick has brought it with this 2017 field blend. What is a field blend wine you ask? A field blend is a wine in which more than one grape variety is planted together in the same vineyard and all the grapes are then harvested at the same time and fermented together. This velvety blend entices the nostrils with hints of blackberries, tobacco and eucalyptus. On the palate this wine showcases beautiful flavors of plum, raspberries and slight mint that give way to smooth tannins. Pair this wine with a grilled rib-eye, fried sweet potato patties or chicken empanadas.
