Folin Cellars 2008 Viognier (Rogue Valley)
- $25
Estate-grown, vibrant, and spicy, this southern Oregon Viognier opens with a penetrating bouquet of flower, spice and citrus. The wine really comes alive in the mouth, with palate-pleasing flavors of lime, quinine and melon. You’d almost swear there was a nip of gin in the mix. Delicious chilled.

Folin Cellars 2007 Syrah (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
This is a light, pleasant, balanced Syrah that shows a mix of earth, herb, saline, soy, cherry and chocolate flavors, but all subdued. Take a high-end Washington Syrah and lighten it up—those are the flavors here. If you value elegance and complexity, this will be just right for you.

Folin Cellars 2008 Misceo Red (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $34
Folin’s Misceo is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, all estate-grown. The forward fruit flavors run through berries, cherries and red plums; the wine is nicely balanced with acid and tannin in proportion. Think southern Rhône, young vines and you are in the right ballpark.

Folin Cellars 2006 Tempranillo (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A spicy note in the nose carries suggestions of caraway, pepper and rye. This is a light, tart, palate-refreshing red wine, with wild red berry flavors, a hint of earth and a delicate balance.

Folin Cellars 2008 Petite Sirah (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $34
Young vines, the first release from estate-grown fruit. The vanilla flavors of the barrels are front and center at the moment, though there are darker fruits in the background, along with smoke, licorice and a hint of tar. Good long-term potential.
