Simple and earthy, with pleasant flavors of blackberries and boysenberries. The tannins are quite soft and supple, while acids are low, making for an easy sipper.

A brisk, brusque, tannic wine whose rusticity calls for easy fare, like backyard barbecue or even fast-food burgers. It’s dry and full-bodied, a country-style blend with deep flavors of blackberries and tobacco. The price is fair.

Fulfills the basic requirements of citrusy, grassy fruit, crisp, tart acids, a clean mouthfeel and a bone-dry finish, but has thinned-down flavors.

So what’s this California winery doing in Oregon? Making a nice little Pinot Noir for the masses. Connoisseurs will find it simple, but give Parducci a break. This is a good introduction to Pinot at a price everyone can afford.

A pleasantly fruity, copper-colored wine, with raspberry and peach flavors. Straddles the line between dry and slightly sweet, and finishes with a trace of almond-skin bitterness.

A simple quaffer that has citrus flavors from Sauvignon Blanc and appley, peachy ones from Chardonnay. There’s a bitterness throughout, but it’s not bad for the price.
