Quady North 2006 Flagship Syrah (Applegate Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Quady North’s Flagship is what the owners consider the best lot of wine of the year, and this year they’ve chosen this superb Syrah. Whiffs of earth and bud, roasted meat and licorice fill the nose, with flavors following. The fruit is like brandy-soaked cherries, wrapped in all the roasted, earthy, organic layers. Tasted even better after being open for 24 hours.

Quady North 2006 Cabernet Franc (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Cab Franc from Southern Oregon may not be on your radar, but this bottle suggests it should be. Violets and leather perfume the nose, introducing soft, round purple fruits highlighted with cinnamon and licorice. Maybe not technically perfect, but what a mouthful of delicious flavors.

Quady North 2009 Ox Block Viognier (Applegate Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Though this is just the first vintage from the estate vineyard’s Viognier grapes, it is immensely satisfying, with juicy, rich, dense flavors of limoncello and tropical fruits. Peach and papaya, mango and pineapple, all sharply defined by just enough tangy acid.

Quady North 2007 Steelhead Run Vineyard Viognier (Applegate Valley)
- $19
Intense flavors jump from the glass, a head-turning swirl of papaya, mango, lime and grapefruit, etched with a little bitter rind, and showing plenty of phenolic bite. The alcohol is under 13%, and the acids really scream out for food.

Quady North 2007 Flagship Syrah (Applegate Valley)
- $65
Quady North’s Flagship is what the owners consider the best lot of wine of the year. Generously slathered in toasty new oak, this very limited (two barrel) reserve from the estate’s Frank’s Vineyard is not the blockbuster of the previous vintage, but shows exceptional winemaking skills. Black cherry fruit is wrapped in woody tannins, a yin-yang combination that…

Arsenal is a Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend, supple and fruity. There are light acids and ripe tannins, along with pretty black fruits and surprising softness in the midpalate, which makes it immediately accessible.

Quady North 2006 4-2,A Syrah (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Light and spicy, scented with rose petals and tasting like hard cherry candy, this rather delicate Syrah is a nice transition from the lighter, fruitier wines of summer to the earthier, heavier wines of autumn. The unusual name was coined by the owners’ young daughter, who named her fruit juice and water blend “fortooay.”
