Thursday, May 23, 2013 ** NEW **2011 Raptor Ridge Pinot Noir
This is the standard wine from these Newberg Oregon
producers who also producer higher quality and vineyard level wines. The color of the wine is a deep garnet that
is translucent and sets well in the glass.
he nose is loam, raspberry fruit with slight esters and spice. The palate shows an immediate acidic
structure with a semi sweet fruit, light body, with a nice overall feel in the
mouth. This is quite young but should be
drunk that way, it's as enjoyable as it will ever be.
Score: 88
Cost: $ 25
Wine Type: Pinot Noir, Oregon, Willamette Valley

Thursday, May 23, 2013 ** NEW **2009 Rosellas Cabernet Sauvignon
This Applegate Valley Cabernet has big shoes to fill. The prior vintages of this wine are some of
the wine geeks favorite Southern Oregon Cabernets. The wine is dark ruby with a nose of dark
fruit, forest floor, charcoal and vanilla.
On the palate this Cabernet is full bodied, fruit forward with a tocuh
of chocolate leading into a smooth middle and quite firm tannic finish. This is a delightful big red wine now and
will be even better if you can wait for it.
Score: 92
Cost: $ 30

Thursday, May 23, 2013 ** NEW **2007 Francis Tannahill Grenache
This Grenache has inky dark red plum color with a dark
fruit, nutmeg, and spice nose. The wine
is not overly fined or filtered they let this wine speak for itself. The palate shows a beautiful full, fruity
wood start with a nice compliment of spice middle and soft lingering tannin. There is a soft creamy, medium mouth feel,
that keeps you coming back until it leaves you asking," Why is the wine
gone?" This is an easy drinking
wine and will be appreciated by aficionados and newcomers alike.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013Newly Designated Elkton AVA Bottles Its First Vintage
Newly Designated Elkton AVA Bottles Its First Vintage
(Click Here for the Press Release in Adobe)
Elkton, Oregon, April 17th, 2013: History was made on a chilly April morning in Elkton Oregon as The 2012 Oregon Riesling from Brandborg Winery became the first wine ever to be bottled with the new Elkton AVA on its label.
Elkton earned designation as an American Viticulture Area (AVA) from the federal government earlier this year to distinguish itself as a grape growing region ideal for growing high quality Riesling and other cool climate wine grapes.
The grapes used for the historic Brandborg Riesling were sourced from Elkton grower John Bradley of Bradley Vineyards. The vines were planted in 1983, at a time when Bradley says he never dreamed Elkton would be designated as its own AVA. “But attitudes change,” says Bradley, “and all these years later, here we are. The Brandborgs have such a reputation for exceptional Riesling, adds Bradley. “It's appropriate their wine is Elkton's Dirst bottling.”
Winemaker Terry Brandborg praises Bradley Vineyards as an “excellent source” of quality Riesling and he is very pleased with Elkton's Kirst ofKicial vintage. He describes his 2012 Oregon Riesling as a “medium dry wine with bright fresh fruit, minerality, crisp palate cleansing acidity and a long, dry Dinish.” 550 cases are being bottled for distribution both locally and throughout the United States. “We ship to 22 markets” says Brandborg, “including Virginia/Washington D.C., New York City and Wisconsin.” Now, all those markets will start seeing wines labeled with the new Elkton AVA.
