If you look closely, you’ll notice the little biplane on the edge of the label here, a tribute to “Buck” Cobb who planted this vineyard in between working as an aerobatic pilot. Volcanic soils at 1,500 feet elevation... Read More

A great follow-up to the WE Top 100 2022! All Carignan, this smells great with big aromas of juicy plum, ripe blueberry, crushed violets and hot slate that jump from the glass. It feels great, too, with a round, fleshy, feel that... Read More

America's favorite and what "Champagne" means to many is, as always, solid in this release.

Organic/Bio Lower ABV I thought the 2021 X Novo the best Willamette Valley Chardonnay I'd ever tasted - then I tried this. Burgundian is overused in talking about non-Burgundy Chardonnay, so we'll say Meursault-ian instead.... Read More

Yes, this is really “too young” to show off everything it’s got. But that doesn’t mean it’s not pretty stellar! Warre’s is less overt than many other vintage ports, and that restraint just adds... Read More
