N.V. Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Cuvée de Réserve

A solid champagne at this price point, although I tend to be more of a fan of blanc de noirs.

This one hit the spot for me... smooth Oregon fruit, spice. My #2 WOTN.

Ripe and delicious, and a wonderful contrast to the Oregon pinots tasted immediately prior. Not super complex, just tasty.

This just seemed tight and tannic compared to the other wines in the lineup.

Smooth, elegant, polished, and fruit-forward. Wow this was surprising.

2014 K Vintners Syrah Powerline Vineyard

This was opened late in the tasting as I noticed we didn't have any syrah in the tasting, but the quick double decant didn't do it justice.
This was well liked by the group, finishing as the #2 wine out of 10. However, my palate just couldn't quite wrap my head around it. I'll let my other bottles sleep or give a long decant next time. The other issue is that the wine may not have been allowed to warm enough, as it came from a 54F cellar.
