Velocity 2006 Red Wine (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
From one of the most talented winemakers in the Rogue Valley comes this red blend, which could be labeled Malbec, as that is 88% of the blend (the rest is Cabernet Franc). The varietal character comes through nicely, wrapped in toasty oak, with lovely spice highlights around raspberry and Bing cherry fruit. Lively and textural, with a hint of funk.

Velocity 2007 Red Wine (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
With each successive vintage, winemaker Gus Janeway has slowly but surely moved this wine to 100% Malbec. It’s a bold step, because pure varietal wines do not have the advantage of filling in holes with blending.

Strawberry and light black cherry, some herb and tar, and good grip for an everyday red.

Velocity 2002 Red Wine (Rogue Valley)
- $30
A new project from Gus Janeway, showcasing his careful and detailed touch with Rogue valley grapes. The blend is 30% malbec, 30% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot, 12% cab franc and 7% syrah, but rather than being a smorgasbord it is a focused, complex and layered wine that all knits together. Most telling, Janeway has successfully tamed to tough, rugged tannins that…

Velocity 2009 Malbec Rosé (Rogue Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Still quite fresh and loaded with spicy strawberry and melon fruit, this is finished at just 12.5% alcohol. Easy to take a sip and imagine you are in a café on the Côte Azur, scarfing down some fresh calamari.
