Reustle 2009 Reserve Grüner Veltliner (Umpqua Valley)

  1. $26
There may be some residual sugar here, or it may just be fruit sweetness that gives it a fruity, fleshy, full-bodied mouthfeel. Loaded with cinnamon-spiced apple and pear flavors. Though not especially Grüner-like, it’s quite tasty.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)

Reustle 2009 Riesling (Umpqua Valley)

  1. $21
A whiff of diesel is quickly followed with a citrusy mix of flesh and rind. Almost Australian in its dryness, despite the low alcohol cited, it has depth and interest, for those who don’t want even a hint of sweetness in their Riesling.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)

  1. $24
Almost fat in the mouth—at least for a Grüner—this has round fruit flavors of apple and pear, finished with a lick of baking spice.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)

  1. $38
Reustle’s Reserve Pinot Noir is sweetly scented with cherry fruit. It opens into a lightly herbal wine with streaks of clean earth, graphite and smoke to complement the cherries.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $31
This drinks like a decent, everyday Bourgogne rouge. It has more than a smattering of herb and earth behind a lightly plummy fruit core.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)

Reustle 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Umpqua Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $21
Very sharp and acidic, with a powerfully grassy core. It might be thought of as Loire valley-style Sauvignon Blanc, but without the minerality. Herb and lemon rind flavors dominate.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)

Reustle 2010 Viognier (Umpqua Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $22
Sharp and a bit green, this has peavine and citrus flavors, the citrus a mix of flesh, rind, and sour candy. It was fermented in 100% stainless.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)

Reustle 2009 Malbec (Umpqua Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Simple raspberry fruit behind a chalky, herbal mouthfeel. The wine is still quite tight and may open up a bit with further bottle age.  — P.G.  (12/1/2011)
