Bodegas y Viñedos Vega Sicilia

Alion Ribera del Duero Tinto Fino 2013

1991 inaugural vintage by famous Vega Sicilia estate. Tried the ‘13 a few times and it doesn’t disappoint. Ruby with an array of aromas, dark fruits, spice, floral and some oak. The palate shows strawberry, blackberry & plum flavors with hints of espresso and licorice surrounded with gentle oak. Tannins are firm and support the backbone of this tremendous wine. Well balance with acidity, full body, lingering finish ends with some fruit, oak, spice, and mineral character. Will benefit from more time! — 4 years ago

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2016

A fav, Pale yellow with pleasing aromas of citrus and peaches. One of the few barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc's which adds a wonderful toasty oak flavor setting this wine apart from the rest. Complex palate of flavors, fresh fruit, lemons, grapefruit, peaches and Asian pears. Slight earthiness with a smooth and creamy well balanced finish ending with a gentle sweet character. Very nice! — 4 years ago

Château Phélan Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

In 1805, Daniel Phelan, an Irish wine broker, acquired le Clos de Garamey, and was followed in 1810 by the acquisition of the Segur de Cabanac estate, creating the domain that remains today. Aromas and flavors of black cherry and blueberry with cacao, gentle oak and herb character. Firm grip on tannins, lingering this big wine to an earthy ending. Tight now give it some time, decanting helps if you must now! — 6 years ago

Open for 3 hours. Showed well though not as good as I’d hoped. Maybe too young. Classic Evenstad nose and flavor profile. Good Minnesota folk making Oregonian PN! — 7 years ago

Wow....wonder if maybe too young? Did you ask our resident expert, Mr Hennike, whom is the dude on all things Oregonian Pinot?

@Rick Zywotko perhaps a few too many ‘Creek Teas’ on the golf course wrought havoc on our palates 😂

"Isabelle" California Pinot Noir 2015

Part of their "Blue Series," Isabelle, named after the birth of Jim’s daughter in 1995, was first top end Pinot Noir that was a blend from different locations, 6 in 2015. Ruby, Aromas of berry fruits with citrus, herbs & floral notes, aged for 2 years in new French Oak. On the palate layers of gentle ripe fruit flavors of raspberry and cherry with citrus and oak wrapped in gentle spice. Wine has great depth, soft tannins, well integrated, savory, long ending with a nice mouthfeel. Very Nice! Last bottle! — 4 years ago

Purple Angel Colchagua Valley Carménère Petit Verdot 2008

Big Purple Color! (And teeth stainer!) Aromas and flavors of ripe blueberry, blackberry and vanilla. Hints of herbs, mint and graphite. Medium body, beautifully balanced with soft tannins. Totally ready to drink. Gentle oaky notes. Very long finish. A bit tight out of the bottle so decant it. Great! Thank you Mark Smith. — 6 years ago
