Margerum Wine with Jason Barette

Pinot Gris Klickitat Columbia Valley 2011.. very tropical fruit on the nose, light and crisp..but lingering finish

Chenin Blanc 2011... very interesting wine, lots of floral and herbal aromatics but lean and crisp on the finish

Sauvignon Blanc Sybarite Happy Canyon 2012.. a little more lean and grapefruit style... my least favorite of the whites

Riviera Rose 2012.. dry as a bone.. not a lot of fruit on the nose but nice depth on the finish

M5 Red Blend 2011 a red blend of 5 wines.. lean in style which is the house style I think.. more of a food wine than a sipping wine house

Syrah Colson Canyon, 2008.. and Purisima Mountain Vinyard Syrah .. again not the big bacon fat iodine northern rhone style

Grenache Alamo Creek Vineyard 2010.. ripe fruit but again with restrained style.. maybe just a little too cool?
