2016  Drueskall Willamette Vly.

Drueskall Willamette Vly. -- For the Pinot Gris "Drueskall," we ferment our fruit in multiple lots, utilizing whole berry fermentation, whole cluster fermentation, and carbonic maceration in different proportions depending on the vintage. The wine is in contact with the skins between 21 and 45 days, before barreling down for ~18 months. This multi-lot approach to "orange" Pinot Gris results in a wine with an assertive structure of tannin and acid, with detailed and exotic aromatics.

2005  

"Lush and dramatic. Shows intense flavors of black currants and cedar, wrapped into extremely fine tannins and liberally enhanced with sweet, smoky oak. Very good, but young and fresh. Best 2010–2013." - 91pts Wine Enthusiast (Tasted 7/2011)

2020  Melon de Bourgogne VdF

Biodynamically farmed, demeter certified since 1998. All hand-harvested. Aged total of 24 months: 12 months on the fine lees in underground concrete tanks, then 12 months on the fine lees in four year old burgundy barrels. No fining or filtration. A mineral-driven nose with aromas of lemon, grapefruit, white flowers and toasted almonds. The palate is rich and mouth-coating, but a driving energy and vivacity that brings incredible balance and length to this singular Melon de Bourgogne.

2013  'Las Gundinas'

'Las Gundinas' -- La Vizcaina is Raul Perez's project, working with family vineyards in his hometown Valtuille de Abajo. The "cru concept" here is to use identical winemaking practices on wines made from different hillsides in the village: all are 100% whole cluster fermented in mostly large (but some small, as needed) old oak vessels. Aged 12 months in French barriques. Very small production. All the wines are labeled as 100% Mencia; but in fact very few vineyards planted before the 1990s are 100% Mencia. Located on the Camino de Santiago pilgrim's route to Santiago de Compostela, the Bierzo region is home to many different vine orphans that were brought as hostess gifts from regions throughout Europe. These include, but are not limited to: Alicante Bouschet, Merenzao (aka Trousseau), and Jerez (aka Palomino Fino). In order to avoid complications and confusion, the DO years ago turned a blind eye to this reality and permits winemakers to label predominately Mencia wines as 100% Mencia in order to take the Bierzo DO. Organically farmed. WA: 94

2016  McIntyre Vyd.

96 Halliday - "From the oldest vines on McIntyre Vineyard. The bouquet is significantly more complex than its siblings, although the vinification remains the same. The palate dutifully follows suit, with more power and a fruit range including Granny Smith apple as an additional, but not dominant, component" 96 Suckling - "A beautiful and intensely flavored white with caramel and toffee, as well as cooked apples and lemons. Full body. Flavorful and pristine. Class and soul in this one. Drink now. Screw cap."
