Unctuous, floral and perfumed, this Washington-sourced Gewürztraminer is bold and fruity, lush and mouthfilling. It spreads out gracefully and fully across the palate, coating the tongue with a honeyed mix of citrus and tropical fruits, spiced up with a hint of garlic chive. Dense and concentrated, this is sure to appeal to those who love this grape.

Stiff and tannic, this dark and steely Syrah is scented with loam, lead pencil and blackberries. The blackberry fruit is matched, but not over-matched, with darker notes of tar, coffee and bitter chocolate. Tannins are a little rugged, but not overbearing, and carry a hint of green coffee.

This is a project of the same group that does A to Z wines; a careful blend of Pinot Noir from vineyards scattered widely across the length of the Willamette Valley. Dense, mixed red fruits, leaving an impression of spicy plum, work into a full-bodied midpalate with gentle hints of leather and fungus. Complex and interesting.

This is a very soft, lush style, with powerfully floral, almost soapy aromas that carry into the flavors as well. It is classically varietal, but so soft as to seem a little unfocused.

A blend of Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier, this was made in the passito style—grapes were dried to concentrate sugars, then pressed and fermented. The result is a terrific and unusual dessert wine, with candied fruits mixing papaya, guava, banana, Meyer lemon and more. The center is simply lush and fruity; the finish tails off gently with a honeyed kiss.
