2011 Evening Land Vineyards Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
9/25/2014 - DuVinMD Likes this wine: 88 Points
Medium, almost pale, ruby color. The nose is fresh and mineral with red and dark fruit with nicely blended oak. On the palate, the attack is lively, a bit tart with good firm tanins. In the mid-palate, the wine displays a fresh balance with good acidity, notes of red current, and the body displays aromas of fresh herbs, leather and sappy red fruits again. The finish is mineral, fruity of medium-length. Overall, a nice fresh and structured Pinot Noir true to OR terroir.

Medium ruby colour with a fragrant and sweet nose of raspberry jam and american oak. The palate is fresh, fruity, with soft tannins. Medium length finish. Very CA in style and texture.

2012 Anselmo Mendes Alvarinho Vinho Verde Muros Antigos
6/29/2014 - DuVinMD Likes this wine: 89 Points
Could this be the perfect summer wine? Pale yellow color with a fragrant nose of ripe white peaches and lime that dominates and that opens up to more complex floral aromas. On the palate, the attack is lively, where aromas of ripe lime perk up. On the mid-palate the wine is soft and round, ripeness hits again. The finale is all lime to me and of impressive length. This is truly one of the best example of Alvarinho I have ever tasted (I tasted their 2011 also last year that was not as good as this one). The wine is dry, fresh and perfect for those hot days when you only want to eat small plates or petiscos!!
