SOHO Atlanta restaurant will showcase the wines and flavors of the Pacific Northwest on flight night, Wednesday, October 29. The wines and tapas introduced Wednesday will be available through Tuesday, November 4.

Oregon's Willamette Valley

Oregon’s Willamette Valley

First, SOHO will pour a 2011 Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. According to the winemaker, the wine offers aromas of “brooding deep Oregon-strawberry, pekoe-tea leaves, cola notes.” On the palate the wine offers a “great vitality and liveliness, core of seductive ripe fruit, very pretty and complete wine.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2011 Browne Family Tribute from Columbia Valley, Washington. The winemaker says of the red blend, “The 2011 Browne Family ‘Tribute’ Red Blend is introduced with aromas of leather, cigar box, and a hint of black cherry. The palate continues with notes of plum, maraschino cherries, dry cocoa and a touch of baking spice. Lingering vanilla and fruit notes give way to balanced tannins on the finish.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2011 Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. According to the winemaker, “Cabernet from this iconic 40-year-old vineyard consistently delivers power, structure and rich concentrated black fruit. The wine offers black cherry, chocolate notes with typical Cold Creek weight and user-friendly power.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Scott Warren, has created three tapas plates to pair with each wine.

2011 Cristom Mt. Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir
Paired with: Veal Marsala over egg fettucine

2011 Browne Family Tribute
48% Merlot, 23% Malbec, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 7% Syrah
Paired with: Bison sliders with arugula and Gruyère

201 CSM Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet
Paired with: BBQ baby back ribs with cheddar biscuits

Sample each wine in a flight (three three-ounce glasses) for $14.25. Or, pair the flight with a tapas plate for $19. Try a full glass of wine and tapas plate for $13. Of course, the wines and tapas are available individually as well ($9.50/glass and $6.50/tapas). See you soon!

First, SOHO will pour a 2013 Van Duzer Pinot Gris from Willamette Valley, Oregon. The winemaker describes the white wine, “On the nose, Asian pears, peaches and a hint of dried apricots swing with guava characters. A lightened and refreshing attack leads to a savory mid-palate where subtle hints of tropical fruits, guava and passion fruits move forward with a nice structure and a refined layer of creaminess. The finish highlights a sensation of minerality that leaves a slight granular sensation to please the palate.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2012 La Crema Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon. The winemaker says, “For our first Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, we chose a blend that we felt best displayed the classic elegance, focused acidity, earthiness and vibrant fruit of the Willamette Valley while honoring the La Crema style, which emphasizes balance and supple texture. The nose is complex with hints of violets, star anise, marionberry (an Oregon native) and bay leaf, while the palate displays more brambly fruit, coffee bean, pomegranate and candied orange zest.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2010 Northstar Merlot from Columbia Valley, Washington. The winemaker says of the wine, “The 2010 vintage has rich concentrated aromas of black cherry, raspberry and cream that lead into flavors of clove, cinnamon and maple. It is a subtle and soft with a lingering toasted oak finish.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Scott Warren, has created three tapas plates to pair with each wine.

2013 Van Duzer Willamette Valley Pinot Gris
Paired with: Salmon sliders with lemon caper aioli

2012 La Crema Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Paired with: Paella with shrimp, clams and chorizo

2010 Northstar Columbia Valley Merlot
Paired with: Grilled lamb chops with red bliss potatoes

Sample each wine in a flight (three three-ounce glasses) for $14.25. Or, pair the flight with a tapas plate for $19. Try a full glass of wine and tapas plate for $13. Of course, the wines and tapas are available individually as well ($9.50/glass and $6.50/tapas). See you soon!

First, SOHO will pour a 2012 Milbrandt Columbia Valley Riesling. The winemaker says of the Washington wine, “This wine is bright with a pronounced minerality, reminiscent of wet stone on the mid-palate and a crisp fruit-driven finish.

Next, SOHO will pour a 2009 Van Duzer Estate Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon. International Wine Cellar said of the Pinot, “Musky aromas of raspberry, cola and orange peel.  Focused and linear in the mouth, with a firm acid spine adding structure to the bitter cherry and raspberry flavors.  Finishes with solid grip, dusty tannins and good length.  I’d like a bit more give but some bottle age may loosen things up.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2011 Revelry Cabernet Sauvignon from Columbia Valley, Washington. The wine is described as, “Magnificently layered French oak and spice with deep berry undertones.”

SOHO’s executive chef, Scott Warren, has created three tapas plates to pair with each wine.

First, SOHO will pour a 2012 Charles Smith “Eve” Chardonnay from Washington state. Wine Advocate says of the Chardonnay, “A juicy, lively effort, the 2012 Charles Smith Chardonnay Eve is another superb value from this team. Citrus blossom, mineral and hints of lime emerge from the glass, and this medium-bodied, refreshing white will drink nicely for a year or three.”

Next, SOHO will pour a 2012 Left Coast Cellars “Cali’s Cuvee” Pinot Noir from  Willamette Valley, Oregon. The winemaker says of the red, “Supple and open in texture this wine offers a mouthful of ripe plum and cherry flavors that mingle with floral and spicy notes.”

Finally, SOHO will pour a 2012 “Sharecroppers” Cabernet Sauvignon from Columbia Valley, Washington. The winemaker says of the wine, “Spicy aromas of jalapeno and cassis lead to flavors of plum, blackberry, olive and brioche. The mouth-feel is balanced with bright acidity, tart berry fruit notes and firm tannins.”
