    2010 Whitehall Lane “Tre Leoni” Red Blend

    David Honig
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This interesting blend puts all the varietals in all the right places. Blackcurrant and blackberry on the nose come from the Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. They lead on the palate, too, with blackcurrant and black cherry in the lead and cocoa on the mid-palate. The Syrah comes on

    The trees outside are green and lush with only a hint of yellow or orange in the leaves.  With my windows open to get a little breeze going, I can hear lawnmowers buzzing in the background, a reminder that I need to mow my own lawn.  Just moments ago, an

    The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberries, unsweetened cocoa, and tobacco leaf. Blackcurrant and plums dominate on the palate, but are balanced out with the addition of red fruit, cherries, from the Merlot. A touch of mocha comes through on the mid-palate and lingers with the darker fruits on the finish. Tannins

    Sophisticated and complete, this well-made Cabernet Franc is another winner from Colorado's Canyon Wind Cellars. Cherries and pomegranate, chocolate, tobacco leaf, and a touch of funk make for a very promising nose. Red fruit dominates on the palate, too, with raspberry and red currant on the fore, with blackcurrant and

    With so much on offer just blocks from my home in southeast Portland, sometimes it is easy to forget the bounty that surrounds our fine city. The Willamette Valley AVA is Oregon’s largest wine producing region, and home to a majority of the state’s wineries, and yet it is only

    The nose shows black cherries, strawberries, and cream soda. The palate has red fruit that shifts, attack to finish, from sweet to biting, leading with strawberry, shifting to rhubarb, and ending with unsweetened cranberry. An underlying earth and spice, cinnamon and allspice, give it body and depth. Drink with rabbit

    The nose has plum, cherry cola, and black tea. Black cherry, black tea, and cola lead on the palate. There is a real earthy umami that comes out on the mid-palate, a soy-sauce richness that lingers with cigar-box spices. Moderate tannins match moderate acids. Drink with anything made with lentils.

    Michael Madrigale hadn't really intended to bid on the six-liter bottle of 1991 Olivier Leflaive Montrachet, but as he looked around the room at the Acker Merrall & Condit auction, he couldn't find a single paddle in the air. How was this possible? The minutes trudged by, awkwardly, and Madrigale
