produced & bottled in portland, oreGON
Not so secretly my favorite wine in the cellar. I had no idea we could make Sauvignon Blanc that could taste like this in Oregon but it is a ceaseless source of fascination for me.
This vintage is a blend of mostly Eola-Amity and Chehalem Mtns AVA fruit. As always it is a traditional semi-carbonic maceration done in concrete. Hard red candy crunch with a twist of cracked pepper is my spontaneous tasting note.
Another Time Machine Blanc is finally available! This time it’s mostly Chenin with a splash or two of Chardonnay and Melon.
Better known as Muscadet, this is the grape responsible for the classic French wine famous for its versatility with all things Ocean born. Sourced from multiple vineyards and aged in vat for 6 - 8 months our version treads the same ground as the wines that inspired it. Briney, crystalline, and quenching this wine is made for summer feasts as well as winter seafood sessions.
To understand Rhinestones we have to talk about the Cheverny region of France’s Loire Valley where, by law, the red wines must be a blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir. We follow this stricture with all the Pinot and Gamay fruit we source from Johan Vineyard. The blend is determined by nature and vintage. Aged in a mixture of concrete and old barriques, this wine is the flagship of the Bow & Arrow operation and communicates what we’re about as much as anything we make. Effortlessly drinkable but rewards detective work if you’re in the mood.
Our cellar’s non vintage, daily drinker. This years rendition features a blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay and Cab Franc, that has spent time in a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak. Bright, fresh, crunchy and \ great acidity. This wine is equally comfortable on a dinner table entertaining guests, as it is on a front porch with a slight chill on hot summer days.
