Willamette Valley Pinot Blanc 2015

Acidic with LOTS of pear. Gift from Lisa. Finish is mineral-y? Light to medium body. Smooth mouthfeel. — 7 years ago

Melon de Bourgogne Sur Lees 2014

Great with bean salad, its saline and heat makes it fish worthy — 8 years ago

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2012

I could want more complexity to bump this above 90 points, but as is, it is a fine wine with a dark berry nose that shades to sweet dark plum on the palate with a hint of bacon and correspondingly nice acid. A less warm year would no doubt have yielded a more nuanced palate. — 9 years ago

Cuvée des Amis Pinot Noir 2009

I really love this Pinot. It's simple, but elegant and seductive. It's a little hard to pin down, but it's just really pretty. — 10 years ago

Matador Red Blend 2010

What a bad boy. Full of supple blackberry fruit from the Syrah balanced with lovely and silky tannin from the Tempranillo. Absolutely excellent flavor and structure. Truly exciting for Oregon. — 8 years ago

Cancilla Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Beautiful and soft. Plush even. Has a marshmallowy mouthfeel with kirsch flavor as well as ripe plum and a hint of vanilla and forest floor. Oak is wonderfully integrated. A youngster but showing great. — 9 years ago

Eola-Amity Hills Gamay Noir

I went to a big tasting at VINO, featuring 6 local winemakers, which of course was a stone cold blast! I'm picking my top wine from each, but if you know me and my love for Beaujolais, it won't be a surprise this nimble & very lively/brambly Gamay completely won me over! Closest I've tasted to Fleurie in the New World. Outstanding... — 9 years ago
