Great local Boco Noir; a touch spicy with a lighter body but holds its own with a medium-rare 🥩 rib-eye steak! 🍷

Nerd alert! Girardet's Flasgship red. 2011 #UmquaValley Baco Noir from #Oregon. Dark and smoky like Syrah but with a Pinot Noir-like elegance. Plum, black cherry and cranberry mixed with roasted coffee, toasted oak and vanilla spice. Soft and silky. #wine #baco #sommelier #unique

Fun italinish wine with a tiny bit of underbrush on the back, with a bit of new world moderator big power.
Side note: this property has one of the most romantic Airbnb on vineyard separate residences. Been there and would HIGHLY recommend the property

Delicious on its own, but also paired delightfully with some buttered popcorn.

2013, tastes much older than it is, deep and smoky but smooth and light.

Plums crossed with chocolate, this heritage hybrid is a fascinating oddball

Great summer wine! Full body with a silky, dark fruit on the mouth . Finishes with velvet flavors of coco and very subtle baking spices!
