2021 Left Coast Estate Pinot Meunier High Acres, USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Van Duzer Corridor, Wine Review
NV Bryn Mawr Vineyards Brut Rosé, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Wine Review
Salmon pink in color with a touch of orange. A nice mousse with small bubbles. Clear and bright. The nose is expressive with strawberries, and a touch of cranberries. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is nicely balanced with crisp acidity. Flavors of cherries and slight cranberries. Long finish. This is delightful on its own and very food friendly. It will work well with salty and fried appetizers. Drink over the next few years.
2023 Left Coast Estate White Pinot Noir, USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Van Duzer Corridor, Wine Review
2018 Horsepower Vineyards Syrah High Contrast Vineyard, USA, Washington, Walla Walla, Wine Review
Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is classic Washington Syrah. Black raspberries, burnt rubber, black olives, black pepper and earthiness. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is up front and tasty with black raspberry fruit, earthiness and char. Nice finish. A big wine but not as exuberant as California Syrahs. This needs a couple more years to develop until peak then should drink well for twenty. Nice on its own, this would be a nice match with Indian food.
2012 Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard, USA, Oregon, Dundee Hills, Wine review
NV Mawby Blanc Brut, USA, Michigan, Leelanau Peninsula, Wine Review
This is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot gris and Riesling from northern Michigan. Light golden in color, clear and bright with many tiny bubbles. The nose is nice with some red apples and a touch of tangerine rind. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, apples with a slight bitter almond note. Tasty. This drinks well on its own, very clean, but really worked better with food. Stuffed Mushrooms (with cheese) went quite well. Drink over the next few years.
