Rogue Vine

Super Itata Los Amigos Carignan Blend 2017

Delectable Wine
9.4

A blend of Syrah, Malbec and Carignan representing a new approach. The nose of plum, cherry and blueberries also has a fleshy character. Complex and expressive, the accomplished, slightly muscly, slightly juicy tannins bring volume and chalk to the palate. Very intense, lingering long on the palate. A grown-up wine.

Grochau Cellars

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. — 10 years ago

4-2,A Syrah 2016

Oh I think I’m in love. Smoky. Steak. Jerky. Salt. Then a rich finish with a small kick of tannins. I think it’s very well balanced for its age. ❤️ — 6 years ago

Oregon Pinot Noir 2015

Impressive wine for $20! Grapes sourced from Oregon Valleys of Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue. Cool climates enable a longer growing season, giving an intense structure. Deep Ruby with loads of Berry fruit flavors & sweet spice. Ripe fruit, cranberry and cherry, with cinnamon spice, consistent quality. On the finish, vibrant acidity, great balance and a touch of earthiness with subtle tannins. Tasting Sample. — 7 years ago

RA Claret Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

my favorite vintage [2012] of this southern Oregon Bordeaux-style blend, after the '09. drinking very nicely now with medium-plus in power, good dark fruit, and balanced oak. Have drank many times on its own but overall would recommend with food... nice wine, nice price... great on the 2nd day too — 10 years ago

Tail Feathers Rogue Valley Viognier Muscat Riesling 2016

Wait, what? Southern Oregon...where’s that, and how did they come to make such amazing white wines? The sock puppet has questions. Voluptuous density with amazing balance of floral, spice, and tropical fruit notes. Gonna have to look into this Muscat thing... — 9 years ago

Claret Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

2002 vintage- best of the lot in a 2004, 2005, 2006 vertical tasting, plum and dark fruit on the nose, plums prune in the mouth... fruit was waining but still balanced enough- tannins were still properly intact- was a pleasure, thanks to my Dad for making the tasting possible — 10 years ago
