A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. The name comes from the local OR oak, Quercus Garryana, from which their barrels are crafted.
After a recent article (where?) about the glories of old-vine R in OR, I've been trying to try as many as I can. I found this R rather interesting, but not terribly compelling. Supposedly, there was botrytis on a fraction of the grapes, but I didn't pick up any such hints.
