Cellar Notes

Showing light astringency with rich flavors of ripe black cherries and blackberries, this wine was made from old vines, which gives it a depth of flavor and texture rarely found at this price. Pair with grilled meat or chicken.

Made from certified organic grapes at a winery located directly across the Gironde River from the famous Château Latour, this bottle has ripe, plumlike flavors. Pair with braised beef ribs.

Rich and rustic, this Côtes du Rhône has that complex scent found only in wines made from grapevines influenced by Mediterranean breezes. Pair with a cut of rib eye.

The Willamette Valley is one of a handful of places in the world that can produce great pinot noir, and this is one of our best values, with typical red raspberry flavors and a refreshing tartness. Pair with pan-seared fish, beef stew, or even barbecue.

This is real Burgundy, made with mostly pinot noir and a dash of gamay, the grape used to make Beaujolais. It’s the ultimate formal picnic wine—elegant, tart, and rich all at the same time. Pair with roasted chicken.

With the scent of toasty oak barrels and the rich texture of ripe but dry red grape tannins, this is perhaps the best wine buy in Portland today. Pair with spicy, barbecued beef or poultry.
