Rogue One was much more than ‘A Star Wars Story’ no doubt.

And Oregon is so much more than JUST Pinot Noir. We’re here to prove it. From the lush rolling hills of Umpqua to the extreme beauty of the Columbia River Gorge, the diversity of the state is impressive.

Very UNDER-RATED beyond Willamette, may we add…

Like Rouge Valley, one of the up-and-coming regions with decades of history. With a complex geological jigsaw puzzle, Fobes notes that every wine lover is “bound to find something they like.”

So, we bring you one of our favorite finds today, dear Operative.

And no other Rogue Valley winery covers quite the viticultural geography than 2Hawk. With long-time viticulturist Ross Allen and his wife Jen now at the helm, 2Hawk is making waves in Southern Oregon. Check out their new label Padigan, too. Their winemaker Kiley Evans worked with some of the Northwest’s top Grenache during his time at famed Abacela in the Umpqua Valley and in 2016 alone, got 2Hawk 24 awards.

It was recently Wine Enthusiast too who endorsed 2Hawk as one of “five leading Rogue Valley producers, all with distinct strengths” concluding that “as Rogue Valley winemakers sort through their embarrassment of enological riches and explore what does best where Oregon’s global reputation will grow…”

This 2020 Grenache was not rated but we give it gold metals and shining stars. Especially considering we’ve got it today for UNDER $20!

Simply unforgettable juice. Savory and intense, layers of black and red brambly fruit. Notes of black tea and herbs play perfectly well with lush tannins and bright acidity. You’ll swear this was a $100+ bottle with complexity and impressive structure. Highly recommended with beef brisket or steaks on the grill.

It is not often we get Grenache that blows minds, especially at this price so DO NOT DELAY!
