- Santiam
Wine & Bistro March 2023 Red
Cheap & Cheerful Six-pack $87.30
- 2020 Portlandia Cabernet Sauvignon
Big Dreamer, Oregon $18 Deep
purple color. Aromas and flavors of
chocolate caramel bar, brown butter,
and crusty cassis phyllo tart with a
round, bright, dry-yet-fruity
medium-to-full body and a tingling,
interesting, long finish with
nuances of dried berries, black
olive relish, eucalyptus honeycomb
and incense, and mint gelato with
chewy tannins and moderate oak
flavor. A warming, supple, and
savory cabernet for sipping on a
chilly night.
- 2019 Cana’s Feast Two Rivers Red
Blend, Oregon $14 Our wine experts
think this Washington State Red
Blend wine would be a match made in
heaven with these dishes. Bon
appétit! Chicken, Veal, Beef, Pasta.
32% Merlot, 27% Malbec, 23%
Cabernet, 17% Cab Franc, 1% Petite
Verdot. Super supple
- 2019 Plano Alto Garnacha &
Carinena Spain $12 92 IWR - The 2019
Plano Alto is fresh and inviting, as
it opens to aromatics of black
raspberries, wild cherries,
pomegranate, sweet spices, and fresh
flowers which all jump from the
glass. On the palate this is vibrant
with fresh red berries, florals, and
spices. This is accessible today,
but should continue to develop
nicely over the next 2-3 years.
- 2020 Fortuna Rosso Toscano
Montalcino, Italy $17 Just the
greatest Sangiovese value on this
planet, from the kindest, most
wonderful family, from a great
vintage, jump on that bottle of
Tuscan incandescence while it lasts!
All the great stuff. 4 months in
French oak, La Fortuna’s master wine
making hand, a bundle of joy,
really. There are very few producers
whose Rosso-level Sangiovese wines
rise to nearly the level of the big
gun (and $40-$150) Brunello’s, but
this is clearly a shining example of
one. A brilliant, glowing, luminous,
zesty, fresh and shimmering one!!
Absolutely PERFECT for every day,
all-the-time, burger/pasta/raw vegan
salad/carnitas/whatever drinking.
With truly no exaggeration, this is
the absolute finest Rosso you could
buy for $17. Amazing!

and spice. The flavors are rich and
ripe, with delicious red and black
fruit that lead to a long silky,
smooth finish. Pour a glass and
enjoy!
- 2019 Aplanta Red Wine Blend
