We love special days… and today is one of the best food and drink holidays ever created… it’s National Pinot Noir Day!

We have a spectacular selection of Pinots from around the world, here are three that Heath wants you to know, love and drink!

Pike Road, Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley AVA, OR
Tasting Notes: The 2019 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir showcases a beautiful ruby red color with aromas of black currant layered with cinnamon, clove spice, and rose petal. The palate has bold flavors of cherry, raspberry, rhubarb, with hints of bitter dark chocolate, and mushroom. Finishes warm, silky, and long! (available by the glass at the bar)

Foxen, Pinot Noir, Santa Maria Valley AVA, CA
91 pts. Jeff Dunnuck! “I loved the nose of the 2017 Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley. It just screams Pinot Noir with its spiced cherry, raspberry, white pepper, and sappy herb aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, fresh, and lively on the palate, it's a smoking little Calif Pinot Noir well worth checking out. This cuvée was just 25% destemmed and spent 9 months in used French oak.”

DuMol, Wester Reach, Pinot Noir, Russian River AVA, CA
Tasting Notes: Beautiful soaring aromas of blood orange and pomegranate darken to classic black cherry and raspberry. The deep entry expands along strong lines with good drive and detail to its red and black fruit flavors. Dark fruits and cherry compote lead the palate—great depth of flavor but always fresh and precise. Savory elements steer the wine toward complexity that will continue to build with age.

Stop by today and treat yourself tonight! Happy Pinot Noir Day!!!

Celebrate the “Mom” in your life with some very special wines from Magnum. We’ve chosen five wines that we know will make the special women in your life smile… and if you are looking for something else, stop by the wine shop, we’re here to help you find your wine passion.

Conca d'Oro, Sparkling Rose, Vento, Italy
Varietal: 80% Glera, 20% Raboso
Earth, Passion, Inspiration. In the hearth of the historic "route of Prosecco" , immersed in the green and rich hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, Fattoria Conca d'Oro is dedicated since generations to the art of wine making. Crisp, dry sparkling rose with notes of fresh raspberries and blossoms and a clean easy finish.

Chateau Gassier, Espirit Rose, Côtes de Provence, France
Varietal: 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 15% Syrah, 5% Rolle
A very clear rosé with shades of peach. Intense nose with delicate aromas of white flowers and white fruit (peach). A second nose unveils spicy notes as well as scents of clementine. The mouth is round with notes of citrus fruits and a slight and healthy final acidity

Domaine Gassier, Cote du Rhone Blanc, Nostre Païs White, France
Varietals: 45% Grenache Blanc, 20% Roussanne, 20% Clairette, 10% Viognier, 5% Bourboulenc
Nostre Païs White is more about freshness, purity and balance that about exuberance. It offers fabulous notes of fresh citrus, white flowers and flint. Medium-bodied and focused, its soft finish evinces a great deal of minerality. The complex nose reveals floral and mineral notes with accents of fresh citrus fruits. The plate is lively and fresh, the aromas of flowers and white fruits, blends with flint. The very soft finish evinces a great deal of minerality.

Flowers Pinot Noir, Sonoma, California
Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir 92 pts Wine Spectator
Floral expressions of lilac and fresh roses. Fruit flavors of Santa Rosa plum and cranberry. Notes of cedar, clove and baking spice linger for a long, savory finish.

Biutiful Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina
Varietal: 100% Malbec
Jammy black fruit aromas are fairly generic. A thick, rubbing palate features pushy tannins, while this tastes saucy, spicy and mildly green, with black plum as the main fruit flavor. An herbal minty character persists on a grabby finish.

Stop by today and treat her to a GREAT bottle of wine! She deserves it.

Heath’s Easter Wine Picks!

Heath Cordes, owner of Magnum Wine has selected four gems that will be perfect for you to drink tomorrow. Each wine is chosen for its food pairing ability, and enjoyment on its own. Here are Heath’s picks… and the best part… they’re all under $30 each!

Zivo Cellars, Pinot Blanc, Willamette OR, 2017
Sharp, racy and precise, this particular clone of Pinot Blanc is a rarity anywhere, especially in Oregon. Brisk apple and white-peach fruit comes with a scent of lemon verbena. The finishing tannins have a grainy expression. Acid-driven and bone dry, this is a thirst-quenching wine with a savory backbone of edgy grapefruit, lemon zest and stony minerality. Integrated and brimming in complexity, it's a fine example of how delicious this category of wine can be when intent and talent meet.

IronSide Cellars, Reserve Pinot Noir, Monterey CA, 2018
Tasting Notes: If you are on a mission for drop dead Pinot Noir than you've found it. Fresh and full-bodied, this wine presents the best of both worlds. Mix in generous flavors of black cherries, plums and sweet spice and now you've got it made. A fruit-forward California Pinot, the way it was meant to be.

Gundlach Bundschu, Mountain Cuvee, Sonoma, CA, 2018
A Bordeaux-inspired blend for everyday life that’s soft, lush and smooth but never sweet. Dangerously easy-drinking, this Merlot and Cabernet-based red wine offers balance, food-friendly structure and approachability.

If you are looking for a really special Rose, you should check this out!!!

When it comes to Rose usually its France, and the wines from the Cotes de Provence, that come to mind. But there’s more to Rose than just what hails from there. Take Italy, where Rose is know…
