FEATURED WINES:
2006 "The Boot" Red Wine - 50% Sangiovese, 50% Barbera. What does Italy look like? A Boot! Two of Italy's best known varietals, this wine has great acidity and fruit and is a natural food wine. Silver, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, 2009.
2006 Columbia Valley Sangiovese - New Release! 100% Sangiovese. Dark, dried cherry fruit on the nose with a little menthol, this wine has a nice earthiness that reminds us of a wine a friend brought us from Tuscany.
2006 Columbia Valley Barbera - New Release! 100% Barbera. Aromas of currants and blackberries mixed with sage are evident on the nose, and follow through in the flavor. The acid is nicely balanced with the fruit, and is a great match for all types of meats and red sauces.
2007 Oregon Pinot Gris - This wine was sourced from two of Oregon's best appellations. The Willamette Valley and the Walla Walla Valley (on the Oregon-side) combine to make a delicious, crisp pinot gris with pear and apricots on the nose.
