This young and tiny winery in Monmouth, Ore., continues to release a variety of wines with a penchant of craftsmanship. A product of the winery’s third commercial release, their expression of this Iberian grape jumps out of the game with racy aromas and flavors of yellow grapefruit, Asian pear and dried apple with brightness to the lime acidity and complex notes of dusty minerality backed by a bite of pear skin tannin. Outside of Thanksgiving and Memorial Day weekends, the tasting room is open by appointment only, but it’s worth the call and the special effort.
