Serious Wines
Sometimes you get play with the big toys. We have a wine tasting that is lights out. The Mermaid Sauvignon Blanc is complex and cerebral. And that is just the beginning. Glass White Pinot Rose is a diamond in the rough, zippy and full bodied. For reds we climb next cliff into Newsprints Cab, an offshoot of Guardian Cellars, where ner’ a bad wine has ever been produced. And we peak with Pamplin’s JRG red. Like a warm blanket on a chilly night it is inviting and enveloping. Come and be swooned by the flavors of these jewels…

Leah Jorgensen, Sauvignon Blanc The Mermaid, Rogue Valley, OR $29/btl
This delightful and refreshing wine is atypical in all the right ways. Intensely aromatic, it conveys a lush mix of honeysuckle, sweet hay, smoke, lime and honeydew melon. And that's before you take the first sip.
J.K. Carriere, Rose “Glass” White Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, OR $27/btl
She has a nose that screams citrus and musk in the manner of flowering lime trees. On the palate there is a surprising and lip-tingling acidity of mouth-watering sherbet that is pulled by a harnessed team of lemons and limes.
Newsprint, Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Mountain, WA $27/btl
EXTRA EXTRA Read all about it! RED Mountain cab for under $30. This 100% Red Mountain Cabernet packs a whole lot of deliciousness in one heck of an affordable bottle. This wine features ripe fruit with hints of vanilla and wood smoke on the nose. The palate is super juicy, full of ripe dark berry, black cherry and plum jam flavors; these delicious fruits are complemented by a sprinkling of tannins aimed to give great structure to this wine.
Pamplin Family, “JRG” Red, Columbia Valley $29/btl
Like a gold-plated pistol, this wine is extravagant and expressive. Layered with black cherry, orange zest. Wine has polished tannins. One third of the wine is aged 21 months in NEW oak. The Cabernet Sauvignon has tremendous focus, energy and length. Cabernet Sauvignon (86%) makes up most of this wine, with the balance Merlot. Aromas of spice, graphite and cherry are followed by initially subdued fruit and barrel flavors.
