- Santiam
Wine & Bistro April Red Cheap
& Cheerful $96.30
- 2021 Nine Hats Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley, WA. $19 Structured
yet
approachable, with appealing black
cherry, savory herb, and spice flavors
that speed
toward refined tannins. Drink now
through 2029. 90 Points Wine Spectator
- 2016 Radicle Vine Company Cabernet
Franc, Oregon $15 Purple hues of
boysenberry
and mulberry meets maroon and dark
sienna at its core. Wafting aromatics
of dried herbs
and tobacco leaf dominate subtle notes
of blue fruits and vanilla. The
compacted clay soils
and high elevation northern exposure
acts as a balance to the traditionally
warm Yakima
Valley vintages, as flavors of red
fruits and dried thyme flow into a
juicy lingering finish.
Though Cab Franc traditionally has the
weight and tannins for medium to long
term aging,
the 2016 Radicle Vine Cabernet Franc,
crafted as an everyday drinking table
wine. PAIRING:
StuRed poblano peppers, pizza with
sausage and fennel, pork loin, duck,
or rabbit
- 2022 Masseria Li Veli Passamante,
Salice Salentino, Italy $18 Beautiful
ruby red in color, with distinctive
aromas of ripe plum, blackberry,
blackcurrant but also leather and
sweet violet. Full-bodied in the mouth
but never tiring, silky tannin and
lingering taste reminiscent of
licorice and coffee. It has a more
complex and richer taste.
- 2021 Soos Creek “King Cab” Horse
Heaven Hills Washington ST. $20. Paul
Gregutt 91 Points "Soos Creek's Dave
Larsen sources Cabernet from some of
Washington's A+ vineyards, and his
sturdy, dense wines are built to age.
But with this King Cab, Dave has given
a special gift to less patient wine
lovers. It is a single vineyard Horse
Heaven Hills Cabernet at a supermarket
price. The blend includes 15% Merlot,
which helps to soften the tannins.
There is an interesting sweetness here
– not from fruit or sugar, but more
like the sweetness of fine tobacco.
This is a classic Washington Cabernet
with black fruits, sandalwood, toasted
walnuts, and tannins with a firm
streak of espresso. A super bargain,
worth hunting for." And, Santiam Wine
& Bistro has it for you!
- 2020 Klinker Brick Old Vine
Zinfandel Lodi $19. This wine is
produced from vineyard blocks up to
120 years old. Delta breezes and the
associated fog allow us to retain
above average acidity for the region,
providing aromas of dark cherry and
spices on the nose. Barrel
fermentation provides additional
structure to a thin-skinned varietal.
The extremely low yields of century
old vine vineyards bring notes of plum
and cranberry, with a hint of black
pepper. The result is a balanced and
complex Zinfandel perfect for both
summer barbecues and Fall fire pits.

- 2021 Cana’s Feast Twod Rivers Red
Blend Columbia Valley $16 A delicious
blend of 43% Merlot, 21% Cab Franc,
12% Malbec, 7% Petite Verdot Bing
cherry and herbal nuances combine with
loads of blackberry and cassis, as
well as a hint of olive, followed by a
classic style finish of roasted
coffee, chocolate.
- Santiam
Wine & Bistro April White Cheap
& Cheerful $87.30
- 2023 Patrica Green Sauvignon Blanc
Willamette Valley $20 This has
high-toned and heavily fruited
aromatics with a distinct limey/citrus
tinge along with the hint of straw and
minerals which is what ripe Sauvignon
Blanc should have as its varietal
typicity. The strength of the
aromatics resounds in the glass as the
wine is with citrus notes at the entry
giving way to tropical fruit with
extremely crisp acidity on the finish
while still having enough palate
weight that there is length and
complexity.
- 2022 Alianca Vinho Verde Portugal
$11 Vinho Verde (which is sometimes
translated as “green wine”) is a
crisp, aromatic, low alcohol, and
often slightly spritzy wine from the
North of Portugal. Despite the
translation, Vinho Verde is never
green: it is usually a white wine,
although it’s possible to get red
Vinho Verde and rosé vinho Verde as
well.
- 2022 Laroch La Chevaliére Rosé
France $20 A pale rose color with
purple hue. Freshly crushed red fruit
aromas on the nose. On the palate,
flavors of raspberry and redberry
combined with fresh acid and lively
mouthfeel. A blend of Grenache, Syrah
and Cinsault.
- 2022 Love & Squalor
“Mothershucker” Oregon $18.
Plucked from the briny waters of the
Pacific Ocean and borne to the crowded
tables of Oregon's celebrated
restaurants, this wine is inspired by
the exalted oyster and dedicated to
the Pacific Walrus - the foremost
connoisseur of the shelled miracle.
The wine is a dry blend of three
aromatic whites grown in the volcanic
basalt and sedimentary marine soils of
our valley. The nose conjures a mix of
salt and sand and coastal flowers. The
body more giving with texture and
fruits coating the tongue. And in the
finish, we return to the sea where the
salty winds whip past bringing cool
misted air up to the low coast
mountains. The perfect pairing for our
treasured seafood and shellfish. 280

- 2022 Nine Hats Columbia Valley Pinot
Gris, WA. $14 Sourced from
Headquarters Vineyard in the Yakima
Valley, where a constant breeze
moderate’s temperature to capture
fresh flavors and give the wine its
vibrant mouthfeel. A light squeeze of
the grapes on the press and a cool
fermentation to enhance the Pinot
Gris’ racy character. This
medium-bodied Pinot Gris offers
vibrant aromas and flavors of white
peach, orange blossom, honeysuckle,
and ripe citrus that led to a
pleasantly crisp finish.
- 2022 Portlandia Sauvignon Blanc,
Oregon $14 This bright and lively
Sauvignon Blanc is filled with flavors
of grapefruit, gooseberry, and guava,
balanced by delicate herbal notes of
lime leaf and lemongrass. We love this
wine with salads, goat cheese or our
favorite pairing, oysters.
