The color was a deep red leaning slightly toward purple. The aroma was a bit slow to develop but ultimately produced a rich creamy texture of black cherry, prune and vanilla. The flavor was full-bodied, balanced with a very long finish. The tannins were a bit weak leaving the wine slightly soft. Overall this wine had nice complexity, was very satisfying and very easy drinking. A lovely wine.

Oregon Wine Country Tasting (Willamette Valley, OR): Paired with roasted chicken thighs stuffed with proscuitto di parma, porcini mushrooms and grana padano. Spicy red fruit, nice acidic zing, and well-integrated tannins make for a nice-drinking wine. Fruit sourced from Ciel du Cheval and Coyote Canyon vineyards.

(Cana’s Feast Barbera Columbia Valley) An aromatic wine with plum, spice, raspberries, mint, and light herbal notes. Lightly structured with a whole lot of acid. A good accent to pizza or pasta. Aged 16-18 months in French oak (25% new). 13.3% alcohol.
