A bit of a kitchen sink blend, reminiscent of some of the complex whites I've run across from South Africa—Troon Vineyard's Longue Carabine 2014 is composed of 43.81% Marsanne, 27.35% Viognier, 12.65% Vermentino, 8.79% Riesling, 5.0% Roussanne, and 2.4% Sauvignon Blanc, all from the Applegate Valley—offers cadence in its aromatic range. Bruised pear, yellow apple, star gazer lily, a pinch of granulated honey. Vermentino shapes the palate with it's characteristic mineral spine, giving lift to this fleshy Southern Oregon white. 12.5% ABV | Sample — 8 years ago

This dark, indigo wine - actually, no light gets through it, so let's call it black - smells of the blackest blackberries and earthiness earth. There’s a smoky touch to the nose and a hint of black olives, too. On the palate, it's pretty explosive. First of all, the tannins couldn't hide if they wanted to, and they don't want to. Have a steak ready, heavily marbled, or let it rest a few years. Flavors of brambly black and blue berries, plums and black raspberries come forward from their earthy home and carry a savory mineral streak with them. Berries remain on the finish. — 9 years ago

I wish Delectable could read the label and see this is Sangiovese..... I really like it. Someday I would also like to try the Tannat. :) — 8 years ago

The Troon Rogue Valley Malbec is a deep, dark delight. Inky black, this wine offers a nose of black raspberry, blackberries and black olives. There is smoke at the top of the glass. The savory notes carry over to the palate, with a dusty, earthy side that barely tips the balance from the fruit. Earth lasts long on the finish. Good Oregon earth. — 9 years ago

The nose offers a good deal of tropical fruit, but not the usual suspects. Guava and a gentle lemon note are joined by a mild sense of lanolin and stones. An extremely earthy aspect layers just underneath. On the palate, there’s a zippy acidity that’s really bracing, and really craving some oysters. Actually make that a plate of grilled calamari and scungilli, if you can find such a delicacy where you are. I’m in L.A., and that request is generally met with “Huh?” — 9 years ago
