What's not to love about this versatile Sauvignon Blanc

collected and chilled before being put to barrel (about 50% new French oak)

nutty French oak combined with mineral acid produces a complex wine with balance and intensity

Chehalem Three Vineyard Pinot Noir (Screwcap) 2015 Size::6 Bottle Case dusty tanninsLike 2012 Three Vineyard in size, but sleeker, this vintage is deeply colored, seriously structured with perfect balance, light silk nap tannin and a firmness and richness of sweetness, glove leather and bing cherries; although a bit closed in its youth, this brilliant wine exhibits cherry Danish, brioche, baking cocoa, meatiness, dusty plum, pomegranate, pipe tobacco, smokiness, minerality and spices; portends well for later 2014 releases.
