Orofino 2022 Pozza Vineyard Cabernet Franc Rosé 750 mL
Pale pink-orange in colour, with fresh strawberry, citrus, cranberry and rhubarb moving in a bright, savoury direction. The palate is soft and silky, balancing delicate red fruit with the variety's leafy freshness. Sagebrush and stony mineral notes emerge through the finish, giving the wine a distinctly dry, site-driven character. It closes cleanly, with citrus lift and a restrained herbal edge.
Clos du Soleil 2022 Fumé Blanc
Rust 2022 Gamay
Juicy raspberry and red cherry lead a bright, vibrant palate, with a light touch of spice bringing savoury contrast. Fresh acidity keeps the fruit lively and the finish clean, energetic and easy to return to. Lightly chilled, it is a versatile match for charcuterie, roasted squash or richly seasoned vegetable dishes.
Robin Ridge 2018 Collage Meritage 750 mL
Clove-spiced stewed cherries, mulberry and prune lead, joined by dried violet and vanilla. The palate is firmly structured, with dark fruit moving into roast mushroom, leather and a savoury pastry-crust note. Paprika and earth bring warmth through the centre, while the tannins remain purposeful. Layered and mature, it finishes long with spice, leather and an earthy, rustic edge.
Great Northern 2018 Zinfandel
Black currant and cranberry lead an expressive nose, with dried plum at the core and quieter notes of mushroom, pepper spice and coffee. The palate is lively and tangy, carrying black cherry through firm but energetic tannins. Pepper and dark fruit linger into a racy finish, with the generous weight staying well integrated.
Great Northern 2011 Syrah
Smoky spiced plum opens with dark cherry, blueberry and a quiet thread of mint and herbs. The palate is juicy and mineral-driven, with black cherry and plum carried by fresh acidity and measured tannins. A touch of pepper and restrained oak frame the clean, savoury finish without obscuring the fruit.
