special cuvees, and limited-release wines that are often not
available outside of Oregon.

A Significant New Release
Click
here to read more. I am pleased to announce the inaugural retail release of a significant new Oregon pinot noir: The 2006 Retour Pinot Noir.
One thing us Oregon "old-timers" talk about when we get together is "all them new wineries." It has gotten to the stage where no one can really keep up with everything that's happening in the Oregon wine business anymore. It makes things more exciting, I think, but also means that the Oregon wine landscape has changed forever in a manner that marks a p...

Antica Terra Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2006
Click
here to read more. New Owners, New Winemaker, Completely New Wine!
Antica Terra has been around since the early 1990s, and back then made a bit of a stir when they scored a 91 point score at a time when it was hard for Oregon pinots to get positive coverage in that magazine.
Consternation ensued when locals could not acquire any of the wine, because for many years, the owner and winemaker were based out of the area.
During this era, I actively disliked Antica Terra wines. To my pa...

McKinlay Pinot Noir “OPNC Cuvee” 2006
Click
here to read more. We got us some McKinlay! This is a theoretical blend between Matt’s Willamette Valley blend, and his Special Selection. It’s better than Village-level Burgundy, but has a similar style: plenty of fruit, but with some focus, great acidity, and a touch of structure. This can use some decanting now, and will improve in the bottle for a couple of years. The quality is CRAZY GOOD FOR THIS PRICE.

Scott Paul "La Paulee" Pinot Noir 2006
Click
here to read more. Scott Paul and his winery are an interesting operation. Not only do they make a small amount of popular pinot noir, they also import small amounts of really, really good Burgundy (sorry, there's barely enough for ME). Paul and his cohorts occupy a nicely remodeled old brick building in the backwoods, wine-centric whistle stop of Carlton. They are neighbors of Ken Wright, Solena, Carlton Cellars (Road's End), The Carlton Wigmakers Studio, Carlo & Julian, and a number of other producers. More
