“The tannins are mellowed out to sublime smoothness, and there’s an elegance that comes from catching a well-constructed wine at just the ideal time to drink it.”

Cliff Creek Cellars 2004 Claret and Red Red Wine Table
makes the 2010 Food and Wine Buyers Guide
Cliff Creek accounted for two of the 18 Oregon reds recommended in the guide.
This comprehensive guide is issued every year to be used by trade and consumers. We are honored they have chosen two of our wines to be on their list. The 2004 Claret and our Red, Red Wine, Red Table Wine both received 3 stars out of 4. Exceptional.
They called our 2004 Claret a “complex mineral-laden Bordeaux-style blend oozing black fruit and earth flavors, balanced by firm tannins and acidity.”
And for our 2007 Red Red Wine, ”This splendid wine comes at a phenomenally low price. Sensual flavors of earth, dark plum and herbs are accented by cocoa, graphite and licorice.”
