Troon 2008 Reserve Syrah (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
A whiff of leather introduces this tight, interesting, southern Oregon Syrah. Black fruits, iron filings, and smooth tannins mark a wine made from grapes that were carefully selected (just three rows of vines) and given special consideration by winemaker Herb Quady.

Troon 2009 Old Vine Meritage (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
This is a tannic blend of all five Bordeaux grapes, with an earthy mix of cherry, herb and berry flavors. It’s elevated with pretty floral aromatics as well, and a hint of anise in the finish.

Troon 2011 ’72 Vermentino (Applegate Valley)
- $18
Troon lays claim to making the first Vermentino in Oregon, and it’s more than just a curiosity. Though tawny and heading toward early oxidation, the wine is drinking well, with a pretty nose of gunflint, apple pie and white peach aromas. The low alcohol reflects a wine of restraint and balance.

Troon 2006 Steelhead Run Vineyard Viognier (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This aromatic wine has a strong floral scent that opens into more typical notes of tart lime skin and pineapple. It continues with similar palate impressions, then leaves a somewhat oily aftertaste, like a swallow of perfume.

Troon 2010 Dry Riesling (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A dry Riesling that just reaches 11.5% alcohol seems a little suspect; this has a sour apple flavor and little else. Slightly oxidized, despite its youth.

Troon 2009 Kubli Bench Zinfandel (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Although the blend includes 20% Primitivo and 5% Petite Sirah, which might be expected to add some tannic muscle to the wine, this is a simple red quaffer, with light raspberry fruit and a hint of milk chocolate.

Troon 2005 Buren Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Applegate Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
This is a sharp, high-toned Cabernet, which begins with nail polishy aromas and some cherry candy flavors, then quickly tails off. It lacks both depth and detail, making it difficult to understand what merits the reserve designation.
