If your looking for a powerful, rugged, fruity & spicy Zin, Wine Guerrilla Conte Vineyard Zinfandel, is an excellent choice. A truly enjoyable cold night fireside wine. This field blend wine of 83% Zin, 12% Petite Sirah, 2% Alacante and 1% Grenache has texture and complexity. The Petite Sirah added the pepper and leather we loved in this wine.
Ok… Now we’re talking. This is what Oregon Pinot is all about. From Stoller Vineyards Estate Senior Vines (older vines) this complex balanced Pinot Noir has a savory intensity that grabs your attention. Rich flavors of spice, dark berry, cherries and coffee with a hint pepper add to the experience. The silky and supple tannins compliment the fruit and will allow this wine to mature for years to come.

From the Stoller Vineyard’s Estate junior vines (younger vines) come this excellent value Pinot Noir. This medium bodied wine is immediately approachable but has enough tannins to hold it for another couple of years. Expect buoyant flavors of red fruit, spice, raspberry and dark cherry.
A really beautiful Oregon Chardonnay. Barrel fermentation creates a lush rich mouth-feel balanced with a light toast and minerality. The wine was rich with pear, red apple, honey, spice, stone fruit and vanilla cream. As rich as it sounds, the moderate acidity makes it a good food pairing Chardonnay. May I have another glass please.
A big Pinot Noir that needs some time to open up. Riverbench Estate Pinot Noir will reward your patience with a vividly burgundy colored wine, rich flavors of dark cherry, plum and dark fruit. We particularly enjoyed the hint of smokiness that added to the wine’s complexity. A big Pinot to pair with big flavors.
