Gresser Vineyards NV Recumbent Red, Oregon, $16

By on November 24, 2013

gresser-vineyard-recumbent-red-labelChehalem Mountains vintner Paul Gates processes these grapes via energy from a worker moving the chain of a recumbent bicycle, hence “pedal-powered wine.” The Fresno State-trained winemaker blends estate Pinot Noir (77%) with Syrah from the Rogue Valley, and it’s easy to pick out each variety. Aromas feature plum, red currant and pie cherry fruit, accented by dark-roasted coffee and dried herbs. There’s a match on the palate with a thread of acidity and minerality on the midpalate, capped by a pinch of bramble in the finish.
