Craft Wine CO’s “Minimus” range and the grapes are from “Cowhorn Vineyard.” I don’t even need to see the label to know this will have some biodynamic tendencies and I should wait for a fruit day.

80% Grenache and 20% Shiraz with the characteristic southern Rhône of plum, black currant, spice, and pepper. There seems to be some red fruit too. Great acidic balance and structure, medium tannins. Tastes bright and refreshing. — 2 years ago

Easily the best producer in the Applegate Valley. This is funky Syrah with loads of fruit and garrigue clearly made with great care. I only wish I’d waited longer to open. — 6 years ago

On it. Missing smoke but otherwise pretty much perfect. Got better with every glass. — 7 years ago

We keep looking for a Syrah that wows us like the Shiraz found in Australia. Getting closer! Very earthy and dry. — 3 years ago

A really beautiful expression of Oregon wine. Dry and well rounded wine. — 5 years ago

Robust viognier based blend that is heavy enough to please chardonnay drinkers but breezy enough to please the casual wine-o who wants something for a nice summer day on the porch. Loved it! — 8 years ago

My wife commented that this had too much color and heft, given its age.
Deep, vibrant purple. Intense plummy fruit bouyed w warm toasted aromas that conjure vanilla, cumin, toasted oak. Dense, fleshy, long, with resolved tannins that still offer plenty of structure and elegant acidity. Among the best domestic, 'natural' wines I've had. — 4 years ago
