Angela ‘06 Pinot Noir Clawson Vineyard
$52.99 btl / $604.09 cs
"Last night I had the pleasure of tasting a fantastic Oregon Pinot Noir. This wine has it all; the classic varietal characteristics that too may Oregon Pinots lack, the complexity of a Premier Cru Burgundy, enough grip and tannin to suggest short term cellaring...and, as if that weren’t enough, the wine is crafted by none other than the Godfather of Oregon winemaking, Ken Wright. This is only their second vintage, but their first made quite a splash in the wine community, earning a 93 point rating from the Wine Spectator. The highly touted 2006 vintage shines through in their latest effort, which displays a degree of elegance when compared to other 2006 Oregon Pinots I have encountered, this medium to full bodied effort tips the scales at a mere 13.5% ABV, instead of the 14-15.5% that encumbers some of its peers from Oregon in 2006. Supplies are limited on this wine and once the rating is released it will vanish in short order." Scott Sheaffer.

Ponzi ‘06 Arneis ’06

Every year this very unusual variety comes to us from the Ponzi family. Every year we marvel at its complexity - tropical fruit, citrus, clove, baking-spice aromas. The citrusy palate is bright with grapefruit, melon and herb. Certainly one of a handful of nearly perfect NW oyster wines.
