Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Dundee Hills 2019 750ML ($29.95) $28 special 
Erin Brooks-Wine Advocate 94 points “The 2019 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is ethereal and perfumed this vintage. It offers pure scents of raspberry preserves, bergamot, tangerine and Angostura with wafts of sweet balsamic. The palate is soft, bright and super silky, with layer after layer of sweet fruit, spice and citrus, and it finishes long and perfumed.”

While the shop has garnered awards for our selection of International and European wines, Oregon still holds our hearts. Specializing in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from the verdant Willamette Valley, Oregon’s wines have been compared to Burgundy in regards to their elegance and dimension. With a much lower average price point than our European sibling and a string of highly successful vintages on the market, there has never been a better time to acquaint yourself with Oregon wines! 



Arterberry Maresh

We’ve long supported and loved the wines that Jim Arterberry makes under the Arterberry-Maresh (pronounced “marsh”) label, so it was no surprise to see him get a lot of critical praise in the new issue of the Wine Advocate.

Arriving from the Alps: 
Arpepe’s Mountain-Grown Nebbiolo
 
The Italian Alps are home to some of the most ethereal and mineral driven expressions of wine in the entire world. Naturally insulated from the rest of the country due to the topography, the villagers practice winemaking exactly as they have for centuries. Located near the Italian-Swiss border Arpepe does exactly that, producing Chiavennasca (The local name for Nebbiolo) from terraced vineyards that have been in their family for generations.

It can be said that the entire nation of Italy is a breadbasket, with some of the best agricultural products in the world being grown from “tip to tail” as the saying goes. The most emblematic of this reputation is Tuscany, which has served as an ambassador of Italian culture to the world with her art, storied history and of course stellar wines!

Re-Arrivals on deck: 


After the explosive success of our half bottles of 2013 Il Poggione Brunello and Tan Fruit lineup, we doubled down and ordered more stock for those who missed out.

You know Maresh for its stunning examples of old-vine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In the spirit of experimentation Jim decided to launch a separate label in order to craft Oregon Chardonnay completely untethered. 

Sourcing from vineyards throughout the Willamette Valley, these represent dry-farmed artistry at its finest. These Chardonnays exhibit a complete and unique showing of Oregon’s terror as well as the varietals reputation for being a “winemaker’s grape”.
