  • Sineann Pinot Gris 2001 --- Big, rich, great nose, excellent body, super popular style, almost tastes like its barrel fermented although its 100% SS. Fruit is from Hood River valley, same block that King Estate uses for their reserve Pinot Gris, also 1 acre of Patricia Green Cellars Estate fruit, and some fruit from Covey Ridge VIneyards near Banks, OR. $15.99 available now.

  • Owen Roe Casablanca Vineyard Pinot Gris 2001
    ---YES! INCREDIBLE WINE! JY
    David is so excited about this wine. The industry buzz is that this is the best Pinot Gris ever made in Oregon- David says its his favorite white wine he ever made. It's incerdibly rich, almost oily in texture. It tastes so rich, you think it must have a lot of sugar, but it's only .6%- just at the edge of where sugar is detectable! It finishes with big acidity, making it excellent for food. The Cassablacna Vineyard has a distinct terroir, and David says it really comes through in this wine, with distinct pear and Pineapple notes in the fruit flavors. Don't miss this gem! $26.99 available now.

  • Sineann Dry Gewurztraminer Celilo Vineyard 2001 --- This was some of the best tasting fruit David has seen. He says they were stuffing their faces with the fruit, eating it like crazy, because it tasted so incredibly good! The wine has the classic lychee and floral characteristics of Gewurztraminer, beautiful aromatics and a dry finish. It was 100% barrel fermented. $19.99 available now.

  • O'Reilly Pinot Gris 2001 --- This was going to be blended into the Owen Roe Pinot Gris, but the Casablanca fruit turned out so spectacular that David decided to bottle this separately and at a great price. It's 25% Casablanca fruit and 75% St Columban Vineyard, everything you'd want in a gris- nice nose, pleasant gris character fruit, and a clean finish that goes well with food. $12.00 available now.

  • Sineann Zinfandel Pine Vineyard 2000 --- This block of 14 year old vines is contiguous with the 100 year old "Old Vine" vineyard. This is a huge wine and is for real monster sized wine lovers. It is dark, with plummy, deep flavors and texture. An over the top David O'Reilly special! $29.99 available now.

  • Sineann Baby Poux Cab 2000 --- Yes, finally, its here, but not much of it. THe wine has great structure, good blackberry, Bordeaux -like character, with cassis, cedar, and coffe, chocolate in the flavors. It has good weight and silky well balanced tannins. $29.99 available now but VERY VERY limited.

  • Owen Roe Dubrul Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 --- Only 98 cases made and he thinks its better than last year's. Cropped to less than 2 tons per acre, over 14% alcohol, this is a massive wine. $60.00 but only available to Big Red Wine Club members as one of their April selections.

  • Owen Roe Dubrul Merlot 2000 --- 80% Dubrul fruit, 20% Rosa Mystical Block, phenomel as usual. 90 cases made. $50.00 only available to Big Reds Wine Club members as one of their May Selections.

  • Owen Roe Cabernet Franc 2000 --- FINALLY! Made from very ripe Rosa Mystical Block vineyard fruit this is black wine with great fragrance, big cedar and black fruit, and big texture. A Cab drinker's Cab Franc. $35.99 available only to preorder customers and Big Reds Wine Club members as one of their selections.

  • Owen Roe Yakima Valley Red 2000 --- A Bordeaux blend of Dubrul Merlot (35%), Rosa Mystical Block Cabernet Franc (25%), and Dubrul Cabernet Sauvignon (40%). A Huge brooding Meritage/ Bordeaux style wine, easy lay down for 10 years, huge. Available April, not sure yet but may have some for regular sale, otherwise, Big Reds Wine Club will definitely see this one.

BIG REDS
WINE CLUB

The Big Reds Wine Club sends out several bottles of NW wine each month. The hardest to get, small bottlings, special vineyard designates, winemakers' private selections all end up here.

We have the chance to purchase wines in very small amts that winemakers don't normally offer the public- sometimes they are even wines the winemaker has saved for herself. We cannot sell these wines in the store, they are just so limited, so we send them to the Big Reds Wine Club members.

We have a similar club for Oregon Pinot Noir. If you are interested in either club, click the link below or give us a call.
