The Wines
2025 Human Cellars "Der Einfluss" Gruner Veltliner, Willamette Valley, Oregon $29.99
Human Cellars is based on one of the key principles of biodynamics- that human, vineyard and nature have equal influence on each other and cannot be separated into traditional singular roles. This philosophy extends into the cellar- where human, yeast and grape are interconnected to create a wine that is a symbiosis of the three “personalities”. To express the beauty of all these inseparable relationships, Human Cellars takes a minimalistic and holistic approach in both vineyard and winemaking practices.
2024 Lemelson "Tikkas Run" Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley, Oregon $27.99
Tikka was Eric Lemelson’s Great Pyrenees dog who loved to patrol the perimeter of our Pinot gris vineyards. This wine is a tribute to her. Tikka’s Run Pinot gris is sourced from Chestnut Hill Vineyard, our highest elevation site. By farming our Pinot gris at high elevation, we preserve the wine’s minerality and crisp nature. The 2024 Tikka’s Run Pinot gris shows bright pear, lemon peel, white peach, and white flower notes that flow into a long, mineral and citrus-driven finish. A good fraction of this wine was barrel fermented helping to round out the richness of this Pinot gris and bring it into balance with the wine’s refreshing, acidic backbone.
2023 Cruze Monkey Jacket, Mendocino County/Napa Valley, California $29.99
Made from Valdiguié, Tannat and other heritage varieties, this pure, juicy red wine is a delight at the table. We love the minerality, refreshing acidity and grippy tannins on the finish. Winemaker Mike Cruse sources his fruit from various vineyards and is turning out stunning wines with his minimal interventionist style.

2023 Day Zinfandel, Sonoma County, California $34.99
An appellation blend of fruit from a handful of colder climate Zinfandel vineyards in the northern Russian River Valley and Dry Creek. The Failla team makes multiple passes through these vineyard sites to ensure maximum ripeness within the unevenly ripening old vine Zinfandel. The grapes undergo a native yeast fermentation in neutral French oak and remain unfined and unfiltered. The outcome is a versatile wine that is light on its feet and wins the sense over with notes of berry compote, dried herbs, light pepper, and crushed stone.
93 points Wine Spectator
Dark, jammy and loaded with spices, this Zin offers lively flavors of blackberry and cherry laced with licorice and bittersweet chocolate. Drink now through 2035.
92 points Vinous
The 2023 Zinfandel (Sonoma County) from Ehren Jordan's Day label is quite the powerhouse. A blast of wild black cherry, chocolate, menthol, licorice and dried herbs makes a strong opening statement. This voluptuous, juicy Zinfandel is a total pleasure bomb. Drink it over the next decade or so.

James Suckling 92
"A hearty, structured and vibrant red with the classic cabernet aromas of black cherries and blackcurrants on a firm, full texture. Full tannins wrap around black fruit, espresso and dried blueberries that linger in the finish. Drink now or hold."
Vinous 92-94
"Meant to be an entry-level wine, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) is positively stellar. Black cherry, gravel, lavender, mocha, licorice and spice are all dialed up. In its first vintages, this bottling was made from leftovers, but in 2023 the approach is more deliberate, and it shows."
Wine Advocate 92
"The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from several vineyards, including Bedrock, Monte Rosso and Montecillo, and it was blended with 6% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc. Matured in just 10% new oak barrels, it has classic scents of cassis, bell pepper, cigar box, chocolate, aniseed and graphite. The full-bodied palate pairs firm, pleasurably grippy tannins with concentrated, nuanced flavors. It™s balanced by juicy acidity and has a long, mineral-driven finish."
