July 2024 Cellar Selects: All Day Rosé
Balsall Creek 2022 Rosé of Gamay Noir, Chehalem Mountains (panel pick)
An intriguing blend of citrus and earthy aromas starting with kumquats, grapefruit and gravel dust. Red licorice and blood orange supply additional vibrancy. Flavors of strawberries, strawberry leaf and watermelon rind join passionfruit and orange peel. This rosé has a refreshing, crisp mouthfeel, characterized by bright acidity and pronounced tartness. Prominent mineral notes add complex depth to a long, mouthwatering finale.

June 2024 Cellar Selects: June Blooms
Balsall Creek 2021 Sauvignon Blanc, Chehalem Mountains
This wine’s bouquet begins with lychee and honeydew melon combined with lime zest, toasted marshmallows and the playful whimsy of juju bees and jelly beans. Subtle hints of gravel dust add a touch of earthiness before tropical fruit flavors burst onto the palate. Lychee, pineapple and guava create a luxurious sensation. Tart and mouthwatering, each sip is refreshing with a long, satisfying finish.
