The Wine

By Chris James Cellars 

A message from Chris James Cellars: “This wine is one of our first “big reds” that we’ve produced and we’re very happy with the results! This wine is 100% Malbec from the Columbia Valley. The 2017 fruit from the Columbia Valley arrived slightly more ripe than the Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley and as a result this wine is very nicely balanced with intense fruit-forward flavors and aromatics. During barrel aging, the lees with stirred frequently to build silky texture in the wine.

Tasting Notes for Malbec: Aromas of jammy black and blue berry, violet flowers with subtle coffee and chocolate notes. On the palate, intense and lingering flavors of black berry and plum with hints of spice and dark chocolate on the finish. Beautiful dark purple color.”

Tasting notes for Rosé: Aromas of mango, guava, and bubblegum. Flavors of nectarine, strawberry and a hint of grapefruit.

Your Host

Heidi Moore, your wine loving podcast host and Wine Insurance agent with Country Financial! I started Wine Crush Podcast to explore the wine cultures of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho where my passion stems from growing up in an Agriculture centric home. I truly love to be out in the country, on the water, and out in the field building relationships with people.

The Chef

Ricky from Pura Vida in McMinnville!

Pura Vida Cocina opened in July 2013 and is located in McMinnville’s award winning downtown on the historic 3rd street.

Since then, chef Ricardo Antúnez has been delivering high quality interpretations of classic Latin American dishes.

The Winemakers

Meet Chris and Bethany! Chris James Cellars is a family owned and operated vineyard and winery that produces unique and interesting wines in Carlton, Oregon. We produced our first wines in 2015 and have since grown to offer a wide selection of whites, reds and sparkling wines. Our approach to white wines is to emphasize and preserve the varietal aromatics, flavor and acidity. In red wines we seek to develop intense flavors through harvest decisions and wine-making techniques during fermentation; we focus on mouthfeel and silky texture during maturation.
