- 2021 Growers Pinot Noir, Oregon
$15 (Owen Roe) 2021 in Oregon saw
the perfect balance between
ripeness, with a very warm summer,
and book-ended with cooler weather
in spring and fall. These conditions
provided fruit that was ripe and
full of flavor but with balanced
brightness and lively acidity. The
2021 Growers Guild is a great
example of dedicated growers up and
down the state’s best regions for
Pinot Noir. Ripe cherry notes with
toasty oak aromas and bursting red
fruits in the palate and a juicy
long finish. Enjoy now and over the
next 5 years!
- Great Thanksgiving Wines-Stock-up!
- 2021 Abbot’s Table Columbia Valley
$21 (Owen Roe) This beautiful blend
first grabs you on the nose with
spice and leather. It finishes with
nice blueberry notes as well as
marionberry pie and wet tobacco, the
blend brings medium tannins and
bright acidity to the palate. A
blend of 38% Sangiovese, 28%
Zinandel, 18% Blaufrankisch, 10%
Grenache.
- 2020 Lobetia Tempranillo-Petite
Verdot Barrel Aged Spain $15 This
delicious Vegan wine is made from
Organic grapes; it is a 50/50 blend.
A harmonious blend of the classic
Tempranillo and the deeper, richer
Petit Verdot. All the grapes come
from a single vineyard source,
Dominio de Punctum's estate in
Castilla La Mancha. Intense cherry
red color and a violet shaded rim.
The bouquet has notes of red berries
and cherry. Sweet tannins and long
finish on the palate.
- 2021 J. Lohr Syrah Paso Robles,
CA. $14 Overall rainfall for the
2021 growing season in Paso Robles
was only 75% of the 25-year
historical average, with nearly all
the precipitation occurring in
January. The dry conditions forced
vines to produce small but
concentrated berries, typical of
drought years in Paso Robles. We
began picking our earliest ripening
Syrah vines in the Estrella District
on September 14th, 2021; grapes from
our blocks in the Creston and
Adelaida districts were picked on
October 6th. As in previous
vintages, we co-fermented a portion
of our Syrah with Viognier - which
brings flower blossom aromatics. The
final blend also includes 5%
Grenache Noir which adds candied
strawberry accents, softens the
texture, and lengthens the palate.
Mourvèdre (1%) was also included to
intensify Syrah’s natural peppery
spice.
