2018 Benton Lane - Pinot Noir Oregon

Adegas Gran Vinum is a second generation, family owned winery that has been producing Albariño since the 1980’s, prior to the creation of the Denomination of Origin Rias Baixas. They focus exclusively on Albariño from the Val do Salnes sub-region, which offers vineyard sites with distinct maritime influence.

The wines produced from both estate vineyards and vineyards they manage seek a repeatable saline undercurrent to the typical peach, apricot and floral aromas of Albariño.

Delivers a bright and complex bouquet of lime, green apple, sea salts, stony minerality and a top note of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is bright, full-ish and complex, with a good core, zesty acids, fine focus and grip and a long, bouncy finish.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC. This wonderful blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah is a long time Bassins direct import and is by far our most requested Rose year in year out. Walter and Kate McKinlay run one of the most beautiful wineries on the planet, located high up in the hills of Seguret very close to Gigondas. With fresh strawberries, great freshness and great "drinkablity" you can just close your eyes and be transported to the South of France!

What’s most striking about Malleron’s bottle—something the Sancerre obsessives will pick up on from the first sip—is the texture. Yes, this wine has the flinty minerality and floral bouquet. Yes, it’s got the straight line of bright, clean flavors and zippy acidity. But Malleron’s bottle is bolstered with a bit more ripeness—and combined with all of the above, it equals Sancerre at its best.
