A decade ago, Scott Shull began planting his Tuscowallame Vineyard, and this plush wine is a blend of the six clones established there — 114, 115, 777, Pommard and Wadenswil. The nose features classic aromas of strawberry jam and dusty black cherry, along with plum juice, pomegranate, lime and violets. The drink is led by flavors of cherry jam, red currant and cherry pie filling, which brings an even flow of acidity and easy tannins. In November, the Newberg winery launches its Winter Brunch Series at the tasting room, but they suggest serving this wine with a wild mushroom risotto.
