Subdued aromas of yellow flower, orchard fruit and a whiff of nut lift out of the glass. The palate seems rather evolved, offering suggestions dried citrus zest and a hint of baked yellow apple. It c…

A fresh nose of green apple leads to flavors of Seville orange, white peach and tart white cherry. Soft on the palate, this wine may be a little tart for some tastes, but it is truly refreshing, with…

This is quite light, almost ephemeral, with tart raspberry and red licorice flavors and a strong metallic/mineral streak. It is delicately made, and interesting, but comparable to a simple Bourgogne…

This is a light, leafy wine, with tannins that taste of green tea and leave a sensation of astringency long after the wine is swallowed. Sounds like Burgundy! In a world where so many Oregon wineries…

Pierre Léon is a selection of different clones from the winery estate. Maybe it's the vintage, but the wine seems dilute. The flavors of tart wild berry, earth and herb have a thin, edgy character; a…

Firmly tannic, the wine shows the structure of the vintage well. It also brings out red berry fruits, with a herbal character that cuts the richness. The wine needs time, so drink from 2015.

A dense, juicy wine, with blackberry flavors right up front. The wine has weight, well-integrated tannins, firmness and structure. Drink from 2015.

It clocks in at an astonishing 15% alcohol, but does not show it in terms of flavor. The fruit is plenty ripe and a bit thick, but well-supported with acidity. Nonetheless the wine seems heavy and mo…

This is stiff and herbal, both in scents and flavors. There's a strong streak of earth dampening the light cranberry fruit. The aging in two third new French oak adds a bit of chocolate to the finish.

This sound, Port-style wine is made from Zinfandel. It shows briary flavors of wild red and black berries, milk chocolate and Christmas plum pudding, with spices of cinnamon, anise and nutmeg. Could…

Robust and exuberant, this wine doesn't pull any punches. It unleashes a blast of wild berry, currant, pepper and chai tea flavors, wrapped into sturdy but finely ground tannins. Easy to drink with b…

This Ribolla Gialla sparkling Brut is perfumed and thick on the nose with aromatic highlights that recall white mineral, peach, citrus and pear. It offers creamy foam in the mouth and a strong twist…

The fact that there is 60% Cabernet Franc in this blend gives the wine a real perfumed attractiveness. It is fruity and light, with a crisp lively character. Red berries and plenty of acidity leave a…

Sémillon, so adept at producing botrytized grapes for sweet wines gives its richness and fine apricot flavors to this ripe wine. Sweet while kept from cloying by its acidity, it is an opulent wine, w…

Starting out a touch reduced, this wine shows aromas of lime leaf and peach, wanting a bit more aromatic clarity. It drinks off dry, with lean but plentiful lime and stone-fruit flavors.

Aromas of flowers and dried orange peel rise up from the glass, with the notes not seeming entirely fresh. It drinks medium sweet with abundant mandarin orange flavors that show a slight spritz.

The high elevation of Chiroubles has produced a crisp, cool and stylish wine. It has juicy cherry fruit and bright acidity. The wine is developing quickly and will be ready to drink from early 2017.

Bright and fruity, this has a good balance of lemon and ripe pear flavors. It is a light wine, crisp but with a richer seam that gives it concentration. A great apéritif wine, it's ready to drink.

A Sauvignon Blanc-dominated wine that is crisp while also having some weight and fatness from the Sémillon in the blend. It is full of fruit, with lemon and crisp apple flavors. The aftertaste is tig…

In some vintages (such as 2004) the extended bottle age given to the Citation Pinot works in its favor. In this latest release, it has subtracted from, rather than added to, rather ordinary fruit fla…

This easygoing red has aromas of dark berry, wild herb and a hint of cooking spice. The simple zesty palate offers dark cherry, raspberry and a hint of cinnamon alongside dusty tannins.

Tan in color, with dry lightly oxidized aromas as well as notes of white pepper and peach pit, this white Pinot Noir is low on fruit and feels tight, acidic and raw. Tart apple and sour lemon flavors…

Aromas of herb, grass, pear and citrus lead to sleek fruit flavors. It shows a lot of elegance but lacks concentration.
