Territorial Pinot gris 08 $14.95
Southern Willamette Valley
Seductive aromas of mineral, pear and apple open up to a mouth-filling mid-palate swimming with tropical fruit flavors and hints of spice. While full and viscous in the mouth, this wine is punctuated with a bright natural acidity which makes for a long clean finish.
Patricia Green Cellars "Dollar Bills Only" Pinot noir 08 $16.74
Ribbon Ridge
The Patty Green Dollar Bills Only 08 is definitely a crowd pleaser, but also a wine that a europhile palate wouldn't snub for the money.
The first hit on this wine is a sweet, toasty earthiness with some notes of morel mushrooms in the background. It opens up to loads of black berry and black cherry, with some floral notes hinting at cherry blossom, but also a lot of sweet orange and spice and a touch of cocoa powder.
The texture is creamy, and tastes of mixed berry pie filling and cinnamon sticks, again with that natural sweetness. The finish is long and reminds me of a raspberry/blackberry marmalade with a nice touch of thyme and oregano thrown in.
Overall this wine made me think of Christmas, with the orange, cinnamon, and pie filling flavors, and always that pinot sweetness. - Adrienne
Dominio IV "Technicolor Bat" Tempranillo/Syrah 07 $19.85
Columbia Gorge
Wow- I've followed this winery for a few years as their new vineyard developed. With this wine, the maturity of the vineyard and the experience of the winemaker come together to produce a super wine and a great value.
The 2007 Technicolor Bat is big. It's a fleshy, full bodied red with black plum, cassis, dusty cocoa, anise, and smoked meat flavors. Have this wine with BIG meats. Amazing at $20.
