BRANDBORG CHARDONNAY CHEHALEM MOUNTAINS 2017

 

Score

Simple bright melon with notes of citrus, lead to a palate that has quite a taut feel with bright acidity and fresh, crisp lemons, pears and white peaches. Drink now. Screw cap

 

 

BRANDBORG PINOT NOIR UMPQUA VALLEY LOVE PUPPETS 2016

Score

Strawberries and wild raspberries with a bright and crunchy core of red-fruit flavors that are present in lightly herbal and very vibrant style on the palate. A tasty young pinot. Drink now. Screw cap.

 

BRANDBORG PINOT NOIR UMPQUA VALLEY FERRIS WHEEL 2016

Riper red plums and cherries with some black tea and blood oranges joining on the palate. Gently sinewy tannins with a grippy edge to the finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

 


BRANDBORG PINOT NOIR UMPQUA VALLEY BENCH LANDS 2016

Score

An array of toasty spices and bright, strawberry and red-cherry aromas on the nose with a plush, succulent and juicy core of flavorful, fresh red cherries on the palate. Drink now. Screw cap.

 

BRANDBORG PINOT NOIR ELKTON FLEUR DE LIS FERRIS WHEEL ESTATE VINEYARD WHITE 2017

Score

88

This has richly captured, ripe yellow-peach aromas with bold, fleshy palate texture. Really succulent and expressive and a unique take on pinot noir, made as a juice-only white. Drink now.
