Foris Vineyards Winery 2022 Rosé of Pinot Noir, Rogue Valley, $17

July 14, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Best Buy! Stephanie Pao made the decision to harvest on Oct. 9 the Dijon clone grapes off the Gerber family's Maple Ranch Vineyard, which Foris views as the best-performing vineyard of their three plantings near Cave Junction, Ore. Gerber named this site in tribute to his mother and stepfather — Bob and Marge Maple, and he's devoted 32 of its 46 acres to 12 clones of Pinot … [Read more...] about Foris Vineyards Winery 2022 Rosé of Pinot Noir, Rogue Valley, $17

Reustle Prayer-Rock Vineyards 2020 Estate Selection Hefeabzug Grüner Veltliner, Umpqua Valley $28

January 28, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Founding winegrower Stephen Reustle entered two vintages of his lees-aged Grüner, and while this is a year older, it came in as one of the most decorated wines of the 2022 Platinum. It’s remarkably lively while the midpalate brings the flavors of cantaloupe and lemon curd from the surlie approach, and there’s still the underlying classic note of white pepper and minerality. … [Read more...] about Reustle Prayer-Rock Vineyards 2020 Estate Selection Hefeabzug Grüner Veltliner, Umpqua Valley $28

Belle Fiore Winery 2019 Montepulciano, Rogue Valley $37

January 27, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

In Italy, Montepulciano ranks No. 2 in terms of production, behind only Sangiovese. While they aren’t the same, there are some similarities, particularly in its bright fruit notes of Montmorency cherry, boysenberry and plum and ability to age. Rob Folin captures that for Belle Fiore owner Edward Kerwin, adding spice box notes, light herbs and orange oil. There’s really nice … [Read more...] about Belle Fiore Winery 2019 Montepulciano, Rogue Valley $37

Reustle Prayer-Rock Vineyards 2021 Estate Selection Green Lizard Grüner Veltliner, Umpqua Valley $36

January 12, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

In each of the past five vintages, the guru of Grüner in the United States has earned a Platinum for his Green Lizard program. Stephen Reustle names it for the mascot of Austria’s famed Wachau Valley, and he crafts this in a style that references the lots of Grüner Veltliner grapes that were the ripest at harvest. As a result, this tier is arguably the most approachable and … [Read more...] about Reustle Prayer-Rock Vineyards 2021 Estate Selection Green Lizard Grüner Veltliner, Umpqua Valley $36

Reustle Prayer-Rock Vineyards 2021 Estate Selection Sauvignon Blanc, Umpqua Valley $26

January 2, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Southern Oregon’s Stephen Reustle continues to burnish his reputation for producing wines that display appropriate varietal character, and this Sauvignon Blanc is so spot-on that it could stand up to cross-examination in court. The nose displays a hint of smoke, honeysuckle and lime, then it shows off flavors of lime, lime zest, minerality and a lick of oyster shell. Pair it … [Read more...] about Reustle Prayer-Rock Vineyards 2021 Estate Selection Sauvignon Blanc, Umpqua Valley $26
