Rogue Valley is the southernmost AVA in Oregon, with its southern boundary bordering the state of California. Grapes were grown here as far back as the 1840s, but it was not until the end of Prohibition that the area was rediscovered.
Rogue Valley is considered to be one of the warmest wine-producing regions in Oregon, but a range of macroclimates across the AVA means there is considerable variation within it. The wide variety of wine styles produced within the Rogue Valley AVA is at odds with the usual stereotype of Oregon as simply a producer of Pinot Noir.
Here's your chance to taste some of the best that the Rogue Valley produces.
Selected tasting notes follow.
2012 Red Lily Tempranillo
Double Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the largest and most prestigious wine competition in the United States.
The 2012 Red Lily Tempranillo has a beautifully dense and complex black fruit character at its core, with ripeness yet freshness. There's a floral, mineral lift to the nose, as well as some oak spice, and the palate is dense and quite structured, with a chocolatey, spicy edge. The tannins lurking under the fruit suggest that this is a wine with a good deal of evolution ahead of it. There is a broad array of secondary flavors, such as smoky bacon, fig, leather and tobacco that gives this wine incredible complexity.
2011 RoxyAnn Syrah
This dark and juicy wine is polished and smooth with big, supple tannins behind a chewy mouthful of concentrated blackberry, cherry, white pepper, vanilla, and mocha. All framed in sweet toasty oak on the long, lingering finish.
