WINE CLUB RELEASE NOTES . . .
2014 PINOT GRIS |||||||||||||||||||| RIO CLUB RELEASE TASTING NOTES: Structured and delicious, the 2014
Pinot Gris opens with the classic
varietal aromas of pineapple, peach,
and grapefruit. The nose displays
more intricate aromatics of pastry
and toasted bread while revealing a
hint of minerality. The vibrant and
elegant palate displays a hint of
creaminess and depth produced by
the partial malolactic fermentation,
lees aging, and barrel aging. The
retaining acidity shapes it to age
beautifully for a few years.
$16.00/BOTTLE $12.80/WINE CLUB
2012 CABERNET
SAUVIGNON
|||||||||||||||||||| RIO CLUB & REDS ONLY
TASTING NOTES:
The deep and dark purple color
of our Cabernet Sauvignon is a
reflection of its youth and richness.
The explosive nose is comprised of
blackberry, blackcurrant, and
cherry fruit, partnering with
leathery notes and hints of
minerality to complete the
aromatic profile. Full bodied with
firm tannin structure, the 2012
Cabernet Sauvignon has the
depth of a wine destined for
great longevity.

TASTING NOTES:
Behind the intense raspberry
and ripe strawberry flavors, the
nose reveals wood nuances of
eucalyptus and cedar, mixed
with herbal scents of thyme
and rosemary. The textured
mouthfeel is an intricate blend
of violet, herbal, and cedar.
This fruitful and structured
blend finishes with tasty and
firm tannins that will provide
years of aging. This vintage is
composed of 41% Merlot, 30%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 22%
Malbec, and 7% Cabernet
Franc.

JUNE WINE CLUB LUAU
A ROGUE VALLEY VIEW Our local pioneer, Peter Britt, was inspired by the beautiful landscape of Southern Oregon. The
founder of the first winery in Southern Oregon, he named the vineyard “Valley View” after the
beautiful valley countryside. We at Del Rio Vineyards are following in his footsteps with the
extension of our estate. Looking at the view of the Rogue Valley from the top of our southern
facing slopes is truly astonishing. The planting of our vineyard, like that of Peter Britt’s, is inspired by
the beautiful and diverse landscape we call home.
The vineyard now extends from 700 to 1600 feet and will come to full production in three years
time. The temperature drops 3ºF for every thousand feet of elevation increase, and the soil types
vary from block to block. Therefore, singular qualities will exude from the grapes providing our
wines with diverse and inspiring flavors—
just like the landscape of Southern
Oregon.
Meanwhile—as we wait patiently for our
new vines to grow—I highly encourage
you to taste our 2014 Dry Rosé and the
2012 Cabernet Sauvignon. They are
showing beautifully right now.

2014 Winter Wine Event THE DEL RIO KITCHEN
CHICKEN ROULADE - Enjoy with Pinot Gris Serves 4 INGREDIENTS 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for
brushing
4 6-8-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts,
pounded to 1/8-inch thickness
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces feta, crumbled
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges
DIRECTIONS Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; brush with oil. Arrange chicken breasts in a single layer on prepared
sheet and brush all over with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle chicken with feta, oregano, garlic, and
lemon zest, dividing evenly and keeping filling away from edges. Beginning at the narrower end of 1 chicken
breast, roll up, enclosing filling as you would a jelly roll; tie with kitchen twine at 1" intervals to secure. Repeat
with remaining chicken breasts.
Preheat oven to 450°. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken roulades
and cook until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken roulades to a small roasting pan and bake
until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of roulades registers 160°, 5-7 minutes.
Add wine, broth, and lemon juice to skillet; bring to a boil and cook, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced
to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Cut strings from roulades and place on plates. Spoon pan juices over; serve lemon
wedges alongside for squeezing over.
RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIBS - Enjoy with Cabernet Sauvignon Serves 6 INGREDIENTS 5 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, cut crosswise into
2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 medium onions, chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 750 ml bottle dry red wine (like Cabernet
Sauvignon)
10 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
8 sprigs thyme
4 sprigs oregano
2 sprigs rosemary
2 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
4 cups low-salt beef stock
DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350°. Season short ribs with salt and
pepper. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high.
Working in 2 batches, brown short ribs on all sides, about 8
minutes per batch. Transfer short ribs to a plate. Pour off all
but 3 Tbsp. drippings from pot.
Add onions, carrots, and celery to pot and cook over
medium-high heat, stirring often, until onions are browned,
about 5 minutes. Add flour and tomato paste; cook, stirring
constantly, until well combined and deep red, 2-3 minutes.
Stir in wine, then add short ribs with any accumulated
juices. Bring to a boil; lower heat to medium and simmer
until wine is reduced by half, about 25 minutes. Add all
herbs to pot along with garlic. Stir in stock. Bring to a boil,
cover, and transfer to oven.
Cook until short ribs are tender, 2–2½ hours. Transfer short
ribs to a platter. Strain sauce from pot into a measuring
cup. Spoon fat from surface of sauce and discard; season
sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in shallow bowls
over mashed potatoes with sauce spooned over.

FROM COAST TO COAST
Del Rio Vineyards has been expanding our distribution
throughout the United States! We are always looking for
new states, restaurants, and stores to spread the Del Rio
love outside of our tasting room. This spring, Mary Beth
visited Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, and Delaware
while Jen was out in Florida. It is so exciting to see our
wines on the shelves and menus in different states. We
want to encourage our customers and wine club
members to keep an eye out for Del Rio wherever you go!
Where are some of your favorite places to buy or drink
wine outside of Oregon? Do you have friends and family
out of the area that would like to see Del Rio in their local
stores? If so, let us know! There is nothing more special than
getting distribution recommendations from our loyal
customers.
