From Jessica: Outstanding Chenin from the Okanagan. The colour is pale straw and the nose is white peach and caramelized pineapple over a riverbed minerality. The palate is orange blossom with tangy pomelo citrus with a subtle shortbread cookie backbone. — a month ago

Slow to hatch but turned into a beautiful wine after about an hour. Upfront deep dark dried fruit infused with notes of leather and graphite. Matured tannins fully integrated with the wine gave it a lingering finish and a desire for more. Paired very well with aged gouda cheese and truffle infused salami. — 2 years ago

Globs of cassis with either tar or licorice (both?) bringing up in the rear. Tasty sour cherries give it a lively jolt. The juice totally saturates across one’s taste receptors and remains with you a good 90 seconds from down the hatch. Yes, it’s young....but, if its current structure continues hand in hand this is going to be a classic Morgan down the road. A gorgeous wine! — 4 years ago

After a disappointing evening wine wise the Germans don’t disappoint.

Nose is deep dense blackberries. Some earth. After 30 minutes it gets some crazy savory depth.

Palate is dense blackberries. Some licorice. Round and a brilliant food wine. Very good deliciousness. After 30 minutes more serious. 1er cru serious. More dense. Gods licorice. Longer.

German pinot is the escape hatch for people priced out of burgundy. Don’t look back.

FWIW I’m having with veal tongue with shallots in a basilicata pepper white wine butter sauce.

A touch of smoke in this really funky orange wine we enjoyed with bbq chicken sliders The nose hints toward apricot, stone fruit, some orange peel and some white pepper. The palate is quite dry with flavours of strawberry and watermelon. Great wine! — 2 months ago

Dense purple, high pigment extraction. White floral and violet notes in nose, plum and berry flavors as noted on label with some tobacco and vegetal character. Nice smooth mouthfeel and balance. Good candidate for an inexpensive everyday Malbec. Paired well with stacked chicken enchiladas in Hatch salsa verde with oven roasted Brussel sprouts and chopped jalapeños in mustard, garlic and aged Italian cheese. Plum flavor kicks in dominantly after three hours, with blackberry and strawberry notes as advertised. — 2 years ago

66/18/16 blend of Sémillon, Sauvignon blanc and muscadelle. Still assessing but love the length of fruit flavors (apple, peach-apricot, lemon with a touch of grassiness), dryness and acidity on this. Slightly bitter and mineral finish. Well balanced, perfect with my fresh garden beefsteak tomato and mild Hatch Chile salsa pizza (yeah, it should be a hotter Hatch, but you work with what you got). WA state does well with the Sauv-Sém blends and this one is on point for structure and varietal expression. Just crisp enough to work — 4 years ago

1998 vintage. Bottom neck fill and flawless cork. Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Some sed but not too much. Medium body initially (and later) rich, fruity nose that translated well down the hatch. Wine thinned out (light-medium body) when tasted after the 30 minute mark with more earthy flavors and then fattened up again approx 45 mins later. Ultimately, left feeling it needed another 1-2 hours of decant time before starting the journey. First time with this producer. Had some solid, old-school, durty dirt and tobacco in the profile at times. Would like to taste again in the next 12 months.12.17.23. — a year ago
