Cowhorn 2009 Viognier (Applegate Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
This small, family-owned, biodynamically farmed vineyard and winery is quickly becoming a southern Oregon cult producer. Certainly one of the finest Viogniers produced anywhere in the Northwest, this extraordinarily aromatic wine showers the palate with luscious and tangy lemon, pineapple, Satsuma orange and pear fruit flavors. Then the spices pile on, lending an…

Cowhorn 2011 Viognier (Applegate Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
Viognier is clearly a strong suit at Cowhorn, a biodynamic vineyard and winery in the Applegate Valley of southern Oregon. The aromatic nose is wreathed in seductive scents of flower and fruit. Flavors are a mix of citrus and stone fruits, with a taste of honey that brings added depth, but not sweetness.

Cowhorn 2008 Reserve Syrah (Applegate Valley)
- $45
A selection of prime, biodynamically farmed blocks from the estate vineyard, this Cowhorn reserve is elegant, detailed, rich and thoroughly captivating. Black cherry fruit is set in loamy earth flavors, soft and broadly displayed across the palate. Ripe without being in any way over the top, it brings in details of black tea, citrus, sandalwood and mocha. A complex…

Cowhorn 2008 Syrah 74 (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Cowhorn wines are certified biodynamic and entirely natural. This stunning Syrah is inky black, and smells like a bowl of blueberries and blackberries. Threaded through those delicious berry flavors are composty highlights of earth and leaf. Beautifully balanced and intriguing; this is as good as any Oregon Syrah I’ve ever tasted.

Cowhorn 2009 Reserve Syrah (Applegate Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
This is among the most elegant and refined Syrahs made anywhere in the Northwest. It has a fine-tuned richness that belies its modest alcohol. Plum, blueberry and cherry pie flavors come with a hint of Bourbon barrel. The complexity and detail are truly engaging.

A blend of biodynamically-farmed Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, this is fragrant and floral, with richness on both the nose and the palate. Lush aromas of citrus and peach roll into bracing, concentrated fruit flavors, with good grip, natural acidity and excellent length.

Cowhorn 2008 Grenache 74 (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
For those who value a totally natural, biodynamic, unfiltered wine, this is it. The neck of the bottle is lined with purple sediment that is almost psychedelic it’s so intense. The wine is fermented with native yeasts, and it’s a scrapey, authentic beast of a Grenache, with 15% Syrah in the blend, and it takes no prisoners. Grapey, full-throttle, deep and…

Cowhorn 2009 Spiral 36 White (Applegate Valley)
- $22
This biodynamic Rhône blend is equal parts of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, co-fermented with native yeast. It’s a splendid example of the non-interventionist style, rich, and textural. The yeasty flavors are refreshing—pear and apple and cucumber fruit holding down the center—clean and solid. The wine gains power and brings in some toasty barrel flavors as it…
