BEST OF CLASS – 2021 Oregon Wine Experience

92 Points – The Wine Enthusiast (Paul Gregutt, Oct 2021)

   “This is a 50-50 blend of Tempranillo and Syrah from the estate vineyard. Showcasing what are arguably the top two red grapes from the Rogue, this does not shy away from new oak (50% for 22 months) but has the muscle and fruit to stand up to it. Toasty, dark and tannic, it’s loaded with black cherry, mocha and smoky cedar flavors. It’s a big, bold red that’s ready for anything you put on the smoker.” Paul Gregutt

   “It may be going on elsewhere, but Southern Oregon sure seems to be a hotbed of creative winemaking energy leading to fascinating blends and unusual wines. One that caught my attention is rarely seen outside of Australia and Spain: a 50-50 blend of Tempranillo and Syrah. The latter was grown in the estate vineyard and the Tempranillo sourced from Coventina Vineyard on the western edge of the Valley. Aged for 21 months in French oak, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. The 2018 growing season was long, and late season warmth yielded wines that are ripe and rich. This intriguing blend turns out to be delicious red wine with both depth and charm. It comes across as ripe, plush Syrah built on a Tempranillo framework, meaning it has Syrah’s black fruit and hint of leather and pepper but is held in check with good structure and balance. Slight oak toast adds to the finish.” 94 Norm Roby Aug 10, 2021

92 Points & 4★– James Suckling, Annual Oregon Report 04/10/2022

   “Aromas of black fruit, walnut and bark. Full-bodied with juicy dark fruit. Fine, firm tannins. Nice spice and herbal complexity. Toasty and ripe. 50% tempranillo and 50% syrah. Best after 2024”

Extravagance, the name describes the wine perfectly. A proprietary blend of roughly 50% Tempranillo & 50% Syrah, with about 30% new French oak. Big, rich, spicy, opulent – yet still complex and elegant – everything you want a reserve level wine to be!
