Paula Kornell Brut
#5 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 of 2020 94 Points WE
This perfect introduction to Paula Kornell’s sparkling wines has all the elegance, refinement, and freshness that one would expect from the best bubbles. Its racy acidity makes the wine lively and refreshing, while the small amount of residual sugar gives the wine weight and depth alongside the aromas of lemon pith, fresh peaches, just-ripe apricots, toast, acacia, and honeysuckle.

Sokol Blosser Blue Bird Cuvee
The Bluebird Cuvée Brut Sparkling is designated as a Brut level of sweetness. Expressing aromatics of lychee and baguette. There are notes of spiced apple cider on the nose and on the palate, and the finish is crisp pear with bright acidity and fine bubbles.

Serve with Foie Gras ganache spread on toasted crostini, and garnish with pickled shallots and chrysanthemums.

VDR Very Dark Red Blend 2019
It's almost impossible to not notice the dark color of VDR. Whereas many dark wines are referred to as "inky," this goes beyond that to a rich, deep, dark garnet color. The nose first entices you with ripe black cherry, blackberry, and boysenberry, all intermingled with floral hints of lavender. The dark fruit aromas seamlessly carry through on the palate with vivid notes of black cherry, blackberry and boysenberry accompanied by Bing cherry and pomegranate. With each sip, the wine continues to unfold revealing underlying essences of mocha, black tea, and sweet Madagascar vanilla. Supple tannins and cascading flavors that continue to evolve with each sip make VDR an excellent candidate for savoring on its own, as well as sharing over a meal.

Duck Pond 2020 Pinot Noir
The 2020 release of our Willamette Valley Pinot Noir presents a deep ruby color with bright pink rim. In the glass aromas of vibrant black cherry mingle with notes of molasses and caramel while hints of iris and spearmint add depth and complexity. On the palate, crisp and bright black cherry leads to hints of earth and forest floor. The moderate tannin and acidity bring balance and a velvety texture to the finish
