Nouveau Nouveau (mas oui!) Columbia Valley Gamay Noir 2015

Thanksgiving week so time to open this PDX baby up, made in Portland but grapes grown in Columbia Valley (they are an urban winery, fun place to visit). Purple, slightly cloudy, medium pigment extraction. Blackberries, blueberries and black currants in the nose. Soft, moderate alcohol, fruit with length and mild seed tannins in the finish and aftertaste. Graphite as well. I love this stuff in the autumn; get some now. Nothing fancy, just tasty, rustic and evocative — 7 days ago

Selezione Antonio Castagnedi Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2019

Dark ruby with aromas of blackberry, stewed red fruits, cedar/oak, and a bit of smoke. On the bud, it’s rich and full bodied with nice acidity. It has a slight tanginess with more red fruits. Of course, great with our pasta! — a month ago

Organic Les Baux-de-Provence Grenache Blend 2020

Mostly Grenache, this blend also brings Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan to the glass. Light and bright red fruits on the nose open gracefully onto the palate. Although from Provence, the Les Beaux de Provence comes across more like a Cote du Rhone that’s easy to talk to. It’s a graceful & tasteful little find, south of $20. — 3 months ago

Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2018

Now there’s a bottle where everything went right. Deeply herbal, rhubarb nose. Perfect acidity for ‘Amatriciana. Bright and tangy yet mildly long. I don’t have other vintages to compare with. But thanks Fletcher for this one! — a month ago

Unculín Bierzo Mencia 2019

Ripe blackberry and black cherry, powerful without being heavy on the palate, tart black cherry, a little black pepper bite, and lingering gravelly tannins.
