In Sheep's Clothing
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Concentrated dark cherry, with undercurrents of blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry. String oak profile softened by vanilla flavors. Has a bit of brambly Zin character, and the robust body of a Syrah. Pretty tasty stuff. — 9 months ago
L'Ecole No. 41
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
A little bit tight at first. Black cherry, vanilla, and black pepper. Opens up with some decanting, but I can see this cellaring well for a couple more years to concentrate and find more balance. — 3 months ago

Whole Cluster Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2020
Bright cherry, cranberry, plum, forest floor, a hint of mushroom, and a bit of a leathery note. Supple. Seems slightly unbalanced at times, but paired well with a pan fried salmon. — 5 months ago

California Pinot Gris 2020
Big juicy pear. It’s over the top, but I’m finding it delightful today. Getting lemon, and slate mineral. Pretty tasty stuff. — 9 months ago
Decoy
California Chardonnay 2019
Pear, golden apple, vanilla, and rose petal on the nose. Round on the palate with plenty of floral notes. Some citrus brightness shines through, lemon with hints of lime. Balanced and tasty with an a bone-in skin-on chicken breast. — 5 months ago

Meyer lemon on the nose, with hints of clean minerals. Not the most aromatic wine, so the intensity of the flavor impact surprised me. Big and layered fruit impact (more lemon, stone fruit, and green pear), with a clean mid palate and almost heavy finish. Lots of nice and interesting mineral notes throughout. — 2 months ago
