Service Suggestions

Approachable and smooth enough to enjoy a glass on its own, the Oregon Roan makes an ideal partner for smoked, barbecued and seasoned meats, as well as grilled portobello mushrooms. For the more adventurous palate, gamier meats such as duck or rabbit would make a delightful companion to the 2017 Oregon Roan. Hard, saltier cheeses would also be divine. We suggest serving this at cellar temperature-room temperature and giving it 2 hours of breathing time or decant.

2017 Oregon Roan

One of our most anticipated, and well-loved wines, we are thrilled to be releasing a new vintage of Oregon Roan.  If you are new to this wonderful blend, it is our take on a Rhône style wine, using Syrah as the hero varietal. Every vintage of Oregon Roan is unique, but we are always working to enhance the natural characteristics of the Syrah in the vintage. These blends are delicious as both young and well-aged bottles which makes them a treat to follow over time.

A showstopper from the start, our 2017 Oregon Roan immediately demands attention with its royal jewel toned color. A custom Syrah based blend, the bouquet envelops the drinker with warm aromas of baking spice and cracked pepper. With a rich mouth feel, the boasts red fruit and a kiss of molasses. The lingering, subtly smoky finish has us thinking of cozy evenings with good friends, crackling fires and starry nights.
