Wine of the week: 2011 Milbrandt Vineyards Traditions Cabernet
The 2011 Milbrandt Vineyards Traditions Cabernet is so correct. I can't believe it. How did they do that? I guess the wine maker's going to keep his job. The nose has what I like to call "cabernet leaf," that particular mint herb thing that is the hallmark of good cabernet.

Wine of the week: 2010 Del Rio Vineyards Syrah
Once upon a time, syrah was going to be the next big thing, but California syrah sort of died, except for a few bright spots in Paso Robles. Enter Oregon, hitherto unknown to the world of syrah, but it may prove to save the day.
