Swick Wines "Deux Oeufs" Columbia Valley Marsanne 2019
90
Our Score
(9/2020) Marsanne grown on sandy loam in Yakima at 1600 feet of elevation is fermented with 30 days of skin maceration using native yeast, then raised in two 700 liter concrete eggs for seven months. The result is a medium-bodied, enticingly aromatic orange wine with notes of apricot, orange tea, ginger and a touch of Creme Fraiche. With surprising acidity for Marsanne, the wine is juicy enough to balance the supple palate-weight and smooth tannin, making this another successful example of Swick's signature esoterica.

Maloof Wines "L'Eau Epicee" Willamette Valley Sparkling White 2019
90+
Our Score
(7/2020) L'Eau Epicee is as unique as it is delicious. A 50/50 composite of Gewurztraminer and Riesling was fermented separately in open containers, with part of the Riesling drained into 5-gallon buckets and put into a freezer. After the wine fermented, the frozen Riesling juice was added just before bottling, where a secondary fermentation took place, resembling something like Methode Ancestrale. The wine itself is a beauty of a sparkler - fruit-forward with tons of pear, grapefruit and green apple skin over a solid mineral backbone. Maloof loves to experiment with their winemaking almost as much as we love drinking the result!

Oriol Artigas "La Rumbera" VdT Alella White Blend 2019
91
Our Score
(9/2020) "La Rumbera" is comprised of 100% Pansa Blanca (Xarel-lo) from granite-soiled parcels in DO Alella, harvested by hand and fermented with wild yeasts in steel tank with 20% of the skins included. Raised on the lees for 10 months and bottled unfiltered, the resultant medium-light-bodied wine is full of bright and fresh fruit with a maritime vibe. White Peach and pineapple flavors are accompanied by limestone, jasmine and sea breeze, finished by juicy acidity and a touch of salinity. This is an ideal shellfish wine.

Martin Woods Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay 2017
91
Our Score
(3/2019) There is a temptation to call this "Burgundian" but it is more accurate to call it "Oregonian." This producer wants everything that goes into the wine to be from Oregon, and that includes aging the wine in neutral Oregon oak barrels. This is a lean style of Chardonnay with great depth of flavors. The fruit is a refreshing mix of fresh slices apples and pears sprinkled with lemon zest. Underneath lies complex flavors of rich mineral and subtle oak spice. Fans of both Burgundy and California should check this one out to see what Oregon Chardonnay is capable of!

Christophe Lindenlaub "Matin Fou" Alsace Sylvaner 2018
91
Our Score
(8/2020) Christophe Lindenlaub may be new to the scene locally, but his family has been producing wine in Alsace since the '70s and farming on their estate since the mid-1700s, and we cannot praise these creative, delicious wines enough. The Matin Fou is 100% Sylvaner from 20-year-old vines planted on limestone and clay soils. The grapes are macerated on skins for 2 days before fermentation with indigenous yeast followed by 8 months on the lees. Generous aromas and flavors of lemon, pear and key lime rind accompany a beautiful structure laid upon a solid mineral foundation, balanced by refreshing acidity. Impossible to put down.

Fossil & Fawn Willamette Valley Gewurztraminer 2019
90+
Our Score
(9/2020) Harvested from 37-year-old vines, the grapes were allowed to macerate on the skins for 234 days before being placed in neutral barrel for two months. The result is a wonderfully perfumed orange wine, medium-bodied with aromas of dried flower petals, orange peel, orange oil, pink grapefruit and bergamot with pear nectar and juicy citrus on the palate. Tea-like tannins finish out this unique and delicious Gewurztraminer that will prove to be a fall favorite.

Martha Stoumen Wines "Post Flirtation" California White Blend 2019
90+
Our Score
(6/2020) A refreshing mash-up of mineral and maritime elements, this co-fermentation of Colombard, Marsanne, Roussanne and Muscat is bright and lifted with aromas and flavors of kiwi, lemon oil, limestone and ocean-breeze salinity. Generously textured but light on its feet, its 9.5% alcohol makes for a perfect summer sipper. It's hard to conjure a more ideal pairing for oysters or grilled seafood.

Bartucci Cerdon de Bugey 2019
90+
Our Score
(9/2020) An absolute treat, this semi-sweet sparkler is comprised of mostly Gamay with a bit of Poulsard and Chardonnay that finishes its primary fermentation in the bottle. Explosively fruity and incredibly drinkable with notes of raspberry, strawberry and black cherry cola accented by white and pink flowers, open this before dinner and you'll be ready for a second bottle with dessert.

Alfredo Maestro "El Rey del Glam" Tierra de Castillo y Leon Garnacha 2019
91
Our Score
(9/2020) Two high-elevation parcels sourced from Ribera del Duero and Sierra de Gredos provide the grapes for this luscious yet bright Garnacha, which are fermented whole cluster with wild yeasts. After carbonic maceration, the wine is raised for a few months and then bottled without filtration or added SO2, yielding tons of fruit character - strawberry, stewed plum and dried cherry - supported by cracked pepper and dried herbs. Palate-coating but crisp, this medium-bodied wine expresses its youth despite its depth. "El Rey del Glam" traveled across the ocean so that you could open it with a burger and fries, as well you should.
