Dense purple-red, moderately to heavily extracted pigment. Black currant and funk notes on pour. Raspberry, cola and, later, salty mint and thyme-herbal flavors. Good acid but not quite tart. Moderate skin astringency, needs time to open. — 21 days ago

9th Anniversary blend of English and French bittersweet apple cider cultivars that are locally grown - Dabinett, Michelin, Chisel Jersey, and Reine de Pommes. Good head on pour. Syrupy and orangey flavors, almost dry, slightly bitter finish. Good quaffing or sipping here. 6.4.% alc/vol — 7 days ago

This is a local, small batch Portland wine maker who decided to try her hand at sparkling with fantastic results. This Grenache sparkler is really dry with a hint of toast and solid Grenache fruit. Very drinkable. On special at the local Whole Foods for $17. If you can find it near you, get some. There isn’t much out on the market. — 12 days ago

A fun discovery while in So Oregon over the fall. Opened the first bottle post tasting and dim was delightfully surprised by a delicious experience. Black cherry, rhubarb and raspberry profiles supplemented with vanilla based American Oak notes. — 3 days ago

Marissimo Barrel-Aged Apple-Blackberry Wine. Purple, aromas of apple pulp and fresh blackberries. Taste of fresh blackberries with apple finish. 19% alc/vol. Well made, superior product. Very popular at our Thanksgiving table. — 10 days ago

Leather and hay on the nose. Light red fruit on the front, but not much is happening there. The party begins at the top of the palate, where are the blackberry and ripe red cherry (as they say on the label) kick in. Light to medium tannic structure, with no offnotes. Soft finish. This is a very very nice table wine— but I can’t give it more than an 8.9, because there are no surprises here. — 7 days ago

Interesting... a bit of zest on the tongue, or even a bit of sparkle. It is tasty though. — 3 days ago
