Paschal 2000 Pinot Blanc (Rogue Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $16

Scents of hay and alfalfa open into an elegant, stylish wine with lovely textures. It is lightly citric, with pretty nuances of grass, hints of honey and tea. The winemaker has a gentle, delicate touch with all his wines, but this is the best of the best. Just 100 cases were produced. — P.G. (8/1/2002)

Paschal 2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Rogue Valley)

Price $28

This might be one of Oregon’s best Cabernet efforts to date. Yes, it’s firm, with hard tannins, but time should allow that to settle down. In the meantime, there’s char, road tar and caramel on the nose, while plum, cassis and chocolate dominate the rich, extracted palate. Toward the end it’s the tannic structure that makes itself most felt. But again, some time in… — M.S. (8/1/2003)

Paschal 2000 Estate Chardonnay (Rogue Valley)

Price $18

Their estate Chardonnay is all barrel fermented. A bigger style, with lots of texture but not too much oak. Leesy, creamy, with buttery, tropical fruit. Again, well-balanced and stylish. — P.G. (8/1/2002)

Paschal 1999 Chardonnay (Rogue Valley)

Price $16

All stainless steel fermented using Dijon clones. A clean, delicate style, but with an elegant touch and nuances of honey, clove. Very well balanced and textured, with a light but long progression of flavors. — P.G. (8/1/2002)

Paschal 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Applegate Valley)

Price $28

This new Southern Oregon winery has been growing good grapes for over a decade. Their first release is a solid effort, with broad, sweet smoky flavors, soft tannins and a drink-now structure. Sweet brown sugar, tobacco and cedar notes enhance the soft finish. —P.G. — P.G. (4/1/2002)

Paschal 2000 Merlot (Applegate Valley)

Price $25

This is a firm wine, with up-front flavors of plum and berry, enhanced with finishing licks of vanilla and white chocolate. A bit of Cabernet Sauvignon (8%) adds punch. — P.G. (8/1/2002)

points

Paschal 2000 Quartet Red Wine (Applegate Valley)

Price $25

This is assembled from ten different vineyards, and is the winery’s flagship wine. It’s a blend of 44% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 9% Malbec. This wine has a good focus to the mid-palate, a decent amount of sweet cassis fruit, and a soft and lingering, though tannic, finish. — P.G. (8/1/2002)

points

Paschal 2000 Estate Pinot Noir (Rogue Valley)

Price $24

Very forward, with pretty, medium-ripe cherry flavors. The sweet fruit picks up some vanilla from the barrel, and finishes with smooth tannins. Though at first blush it seems a bit light, sweet and simple, the flavors are persistent, the balance perfect. — P.G. (8/1/2002)
