This is an easy-drinking wine, with ripe, forward citrus, peach and tropical fruit flavors. There's just enough acidity to balance the sweetness. The blend is Marsanne, Grenache Blanc and Viognier.
One whiff says this hails from a warmer region like Maule as opposed to someplace cool and coastal. The aromas are tropical more than zesty, with notes of mango and banana. On the palate, this is rou…

This soft and fruity wine is crisp, fragrant and fresh. It has light acidity that balances with the forward apple flavor, as well as a dry lime edginess and nervy texture. Drink now. Screwcap.
This is a soft, flavorful wine full of creamy yellow fruit. Hints of wood aging and a delicate mineral texture add depth to the palate, but this wine will age quickly, so drink now–2020.
Herbaceous, with notes of fresh leaves, green florals and honeydew, this bargain eiswein is ethereally delicate on the palate. It's honeyed in sweetness, but briskly composed, with sharp lemon acidit…
Labeled reserve, this young wine has a bit more heft than the Willamette Valley bottling. Black cherry, cola and Dr. Pepper flavors wrap into an earthy, chalky, tannic finish.
With its apricot and ripe pear aromas, this is a full and rounded wine. It has a good balance between acidity and ripe fruit. It is floral, smooth and ready to drink.
Brandied cherry aromas are a touch stalky and hot, but overall this opens well. Edgy in feel, this Cab shows baked berry flavors and scratchy acidity in front of a stalky, roasted tasting finish.
Freshly roasted coffee, allspice and charred mixed berries shine on the nose of this Cabernet Franc which saw 24 months in Appalachian oak barrels. Silky and generous on the palate, Bing cherry and r…
Reduced blueberry sauce hovers around a spiced cherry core. A rich palate of tangy blueberry and blackberry feels thick, yet there's enough acidic kick to keep it in check. The grippy tannins give am…

Well on the way to sweet, this soft, spicy wine has light acidity and a gentle feel, with just a tangy, mineral edge to suggest some potential. Drink now.
Made from organically farmed grapes grown in an estate vineyard, then cradled in American oak, this delivers subdued aromas of ripe, lusty lemon and big oak. Lurching toward the finish are flavors of…
Pinched and wiry-smelling on the nose, this Garnacha comes around with earthy red-berry aromas in front of a full, chunky, fairly oaky palate. Flavors of blackberry and vanilla are good but common, w…
