Tasting Notes:

Second Chapter Sparkling White 2018 (Winery - $35)

Varietals: Gewurztraminer, Viognier & Chardonnay.  Crisp & Vibrant. Brilliant floral nose. Honey & lemon.

Louis Jadot Beaune Clos des Couchereaux 2015 ( BCLS - $95)

Wild strawberry, briary and blackcurrant scents entwined with fine mineralité and tension. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, a gentle grip, neatly integrated oak and very fine detail on the finish.

Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2015 (BCLS - $57)

Dried flowers, violets and orchids. Cherry and raspberry undertones, too. Medium to full body with an incredible polished texture. Ripe and round tannins and a fresh and vibrant finish.

Shea Wine Cellars Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014 (Winery ~ $68)

Black cherry, hints of rose petal, and subtle spice notes. The palate is defined by lush blue and black fruit with a long finish and fine-grained tannins.

Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2016 (BCLS - $91)

Wonderfully perfumed, with lavender, white pepper and green tea notes, cherry and raspberry flavors. Polished tannins still provide some grip on the finish, where white truffle and forest floor details linger.

Blue Mountain Reserve Pinot Noir 2016 (Winery - $46)

Ripe sour cherry/strawberry jam fruit aromas set within perfect oak spicing, evergreen, clove and a touch of meatiness.

Tantalus Riesling Ice Wine 2017 (Winery ~ $75)

Beautiful sweetness balanced by tart acidity.
