“In the sixth century BC, the Phocaeans brought grape vines from Greece to Massalia (modern day Marseille) in southern France. The wines they produced were, again, field blends of white and red grapes. … As a result, the south of France is considered the epicenter of rosé even today. These pleasant pink wines were the talk of the Mediterranean. By the time the Romans landed later in Provence, they had already heard all about the ‘pink wines of Massalia,’ used their super-connected trade networks to make them popular around the Mediterranean. Even today, the south of France is still considered the epicenter of rosé. “

2017 MCCARTHY & SCHIERING CABERNET SAUVIGNON
RED MOUNTAIN
22.95 NET
Sourced from the Quintessence and Shaw Vineyards on Red Mountain, our new private label is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that was crafted by one of the state’s most experienced and legendary winemakers. This is a bold expression of Washington fruit, aged for 22 months in 50% new French oak, and 50% once-used barrels.
The blueberry aroma so commonly associated with Red Mountain is complemented by a classic cassis note, with hints of fresh roast coffee and vanilla bean. The purity of flavor and complexity are exceptional.
When we tasted three choices for our new private label Cabernet Sauvignon, everyone on the staffs at both shops overwhelmingly chose this Red Mountain option to be our new wine. We feel that it is our best private label Cabernet Sauvignon to date… our 15th vintage!
Consider purchasing this by the case, or multiple cases. Amaze your friends with the quality. Stash a supply for summer BBQ’s, or to give away as personal or corporate gifts during the December holiday season later this year.
A total of 225 cases were made, and while this may sound like a lot, past history indicates that it will sell through quickly. Needless to say, we are very proud of this new wine!

2018 Domaine Labbe Abymes Vin de Savoie 16.00 13.60VS
Bright, crisp and refreshing. Made from 100% Jacquere — a grape variety native to the Savoie region in eastern France. This off-the-beaten-path area is home to some of the finest white wine values that France has to offer. It has flavors of freshly sliced lemon, green apple, white pear, and textbook Savoie minerality. Quaff this wine all on its own, or enjoy with your favorite cheese and charcuterie.
2017 Foris Pinot Blanc Estate Grown, Rogue Valley, Oregon 16.00 13.60VS
Established in 1974 and nestled in a pristine alpine valley in southwestern Oregon’s rugged Siskiyou Mountain range, Foris Vineyards has been a true viticultural pioneer for forty-five years, defining their style as pure and elegant. The 2017 vintage was a welcome return to a more classic vintage after four consecutive warm years. 100% estate fruit, racy and mineral-laden, with a hint of golden delicious apple, kiwi and nectarine. Exquisitely balanced and rich with tuberose and Meyer lemon, excellent acidity, and flavors of pear, citrus and lingering notes of lemongrass.
2017 Glatzer Carnuntum Gruner Veltliner, Austria 15.00 12.75VS
Sourced from a collection of organically farmed vineyards in Austria’s Carnuntum region, aromas and flavors of white pepper, citrus, and spice lend charm to this minerally white, while vibrant acidity imparts energy.
2018 Cantina del Pino Nebbiolo Langhe, Italy 22.00 18.70VS
Our good friend, Renato Vacca, one of Barbaresco’s most talented winemakers, died March 14 after a yearlong battle with cancer. Vacca, along with his wife, Franca Miretti, owned Cantina del Pino, producing wines that were elegant and complex. He was 51. “I have always been extremely impressed by his dedication to reach the greatest purity and terroir distinction in all his wines” said Aldo Vacca, Renato’s cousin and the current director of the Produttori del Barbaresco. Cantina del Pino’s simple label depicts the giant pine tree marking the top of the Ovello hill where the estate is located. This bottle is dedicated to Renato. Elegant, perfectly precise, high toned, lilac and roses, distinctly delicious to drink now, Nebbiolo at its youthful finest!
2018 Finca os Cobatos Mencia Cepas Viejas, Galacia, Spain 16.00 13.60VS
One of the oldest vineyards in the area, Manual Mendez’s Mencia presents the grape variety in a classic, minimalist form. Signature freshness, this Mencía is softer than most of those from Bierzo. It has juicy acidity and a light frame — almost reminiscent of Beaujolais. The aroma offers strawberry, red fruits, and fresh alpine scents.
2018 Evesham Wood Pinot Noir Dundee Hills, Oregon 27.00 22.95VS
From Evesham Wood’ website: “Yes, you read that correctly Dundee Hills Cuvée. This most likely one-time wine came about 2 years ago when a friend who is the winemaker for a prominent winery in the Dundee Hills asked if I was interested in some Dundee Hills fruit. Having plenty of great sources secured for the year I said no thank you. Then he came back with a price that was too good to pass up. My plan was to have it go into our Willamette Valley blend, but when I started seriously tasting the barrels last year it was apparent we had some special barrels. I held 9 barrels back. Although it’s labeled “cuvée”, all of the fruit came from a single vineyard. However, I’m only allowed to tell you what vineyard that is if I charge at least $85 per bottle which just is not the Evesham style. The dusty rose quality I often find in Dundee Hills Pinot Noir is fully on display combined with dark fruit and the great 2018 concentration. Delicious now and sure to age quite gracefully over the next 5 to 6 years. A true labor of love.”
“Geremia”, Rocca di Montegrossi’s Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, is outrageously beautiful in 2015. Racy and pliant, with soft curves, Geremia captures all of the radiant beauty of the vintage. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint, mocha and sweet spice are all fused together. Time in the glass brings out attractive floral notes and red-toned fruit character that lend freshness and lift to play off the wine’s more extroverted leanings. The 2015 is a gorgeous Geremia.” — Antonio Galloni, 96 points

100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 67% Seven Hills, 33% Pepper Bridge
“A beautiful nose that opens with alpine flowers and sweet herbs, before leading into more traditional fruit notes of red currant, plum, and blackberry, with hints of anise on the finish. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is large-scaled on the palate, echoing the aroma with plum, currant, exotic flower and crushed rock notes. As usual, this wine combines the powerful structure of Pepper Bridge with the finesse from Seven Hills.”

“Notes of blackberry, blueberry cobbler, cassis, woodsmoke, licorice pastille, and meadow flowers are very inviting. The palate is taut and structured, featuring dark red and black fruits, great minerality, and lively acidity. The finish is very long and focused, with lingering floral and light oak elements.”

60% Klipsun Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Red Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Bacchus Cabernet Franc
“Rich nose of cherry, plum, hints of cassis, espresso, and rubbed thyme. This is all Red Mountain on the palate, with full, structured dark cherry, black currant, graphite, and crushed roses. While it’s not the biggest Red Mountain Cabernet yet, it may be the most balanced.”
