Anjola, Pinot Grigio 2010 Columbia Gorge

This 2010 Pinot Grigio is all Columbia Gorge fruit, half of the fruit is from our vineyards and the other half is from Mt. Underwood across the river from us. This wine is packed with flavors piled on each other. At this young stage the dominant flavor is spice, but there is plenty of fruit, which will come out as it develops.

Bianco, Uvaggio '10 Columbia Valley

Something new for Marchesi Vineyards, a white uvaggio or blend of grapes. In this blend we have incorporated 50% of Pinot Grigio from our vineyard,  25% Sauvignon Blanc from the other side of the Columbia River in Washington, and 25% from Chardonnay grapes from further east on the Columbia River in the Pasco area.
After you stop admiring the wonderful aromas from this wine, you will notice the zesty acidity, the great minerality, and the warmth deriving from the passage in french oak barrels this wine has had. Reminiscent of what a good white burgundy tastes like.

Emma, Sangiovese '09 Columbia Valley

We source our fruit from the Columbia Valley where the weather is more favorable for growing this central Italy varietal. We love the expressoin of fruit, acid, alcohol combination that makes for a pleasant wine.

Our previous vintage Sangiovese Emma '08 was Awarded Double Gold at the 2010 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

Buja Nen, Nebbiolo '09 Columbia Valley

This wine was produced exclusively from grapes grown at the Coyote Canyon Vineyards, Horse Heavens Hills, in the Prosser area. In the style of the great Barolos of Piedmont, it has finesse and elegance.

Balanced, mildly tannic and typical of the varietal character wonderfully displayed in this vintage.

Salute!

Achille, Barbera '09 Columbia Valley

Barbera is king in the Piemonte region of NW Italy. Here in Northern Oregon, we share the same latitude, climate and hours of daylight. Achille's Barbera is loaded with bright ripe cherry fruit, balanced by mouthwatering natural acidity to complement most food, especially duck, beef, or just about any meats that's been braised on it's own juices.

Piasj, Red Table Wine '09 Columbia Valley

Piasj is Piedmontese dialect for 'Pleasure' and this word tells you all about the wine.

A wonderful blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, 20% Merlot, 20% Sangiovese  and 20% Petit Verdot. We call this blend our Super-Tuscan. This term is used to name wines made with the Idea of going outside the box. Like a painting or an artist expression,  it is beautiful.

Classic cedar, dried currants and mineral flavors, full body, elegant, show all it’s complexity.

Valentino, Primitivo '10 Columbia Valley

Primitivo is the wine that is often called Zinfandel here in the states. We love this Primitivo even more than the 2009 that was awarded Best of Class from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine
Competition in 2010.

We have Big hopes for this 2010 Vintage. Great aromas delivered in the glass, follow in the mid palate with gorgeous floral sensations. A full bodied wine that brings satisfaction to the lucky person that holds the glass.

Cereja, Uvaggio '09 Columbia Valley

Cereja is a word in the Piemontese dialect that means greetings.

Our Red Uvaggio 2009.

The result of circumstances of accidental nature first introduced with some doubts, the first Uvaggio in 2006. Marchesi Vineyards continues to produce this wine. Now no longer an accident, but a delicious blend of 40% Sangiovese, 10% Petit Verdot, 30% Syrah and 20% Barbera grapes. Enjoy!

Guiseppe, Pinot Noir '09 Columbia Valley

We named our Pinot Noir Giuseppe, because in Italian the nick name for Giuseppe is Pino. The Pinot Noir grapes where the last grapes to be planted at the south end of our property at the end of April 2008. We sourced grapes for our 2009 vintage from growers we know well and can count on the best fruit from the wonderful Hood River area. The fruits came from the Columbia Gorge and from lower altitudes of Mount Underwood on the opposite side of the Columbia river, right in the middle of the Columbia Gorge. Our 2009 Pinot Noir has a pale robe, aromas of mushrooms and earth with a violet note, quite light but silky on the palate, dark cherry fruit, strawberries and a touch of sweetness on the finish. Most enjoyable with roasted salmon or chicken alla cacciatora.

Guiseppe, Pinot Noir Reserve '08 Columbia Valley

This is the very first Reserve we made here at Marchesi Vineyards.
We decided the 2008 vintage was worthy of making a reserve quality wine.

The fruit was hand picked,  de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks, than passed in french oak barrels for the long aging period. This Pinot Noir has great varietal character. Beautiful floral aromas of wild berries, raspberry and plum. Elegant, pure and well textured,  this wine can be enjoyed now or in years to come.
