   ALBARINO 2014

Our 2014 ALBARINO is in the bottles and tasting FABULOUS!! Last year we didn't have enough to go around but after the great harvest of 2014...there will be more this time!

You will find this famous white wine, originally from the northwest of Spain, gives flavors that are bold with a crisp minerality. Notes of melon, green apple and citrus combine to create a full bodied wine that will enhance pairings with seafood, cheese, or possibly even a great Thai dish. 

Our wine makers went to great lengths to study this wine's natural home in Spain.  They researched longitude, altitude and climate before we planted our first Albarino vines in 2010. We thought it would work well...and it has!  It's crisp like you would expect of a great Spanish Albarino with plenty of body to keep it interesting and lasting on the palate. 

Our newest wine to be released: 

      PINOT GRIS 2013

Our 2013 PINOT GRIS saturates the senses with ruby grapefruit blossom and light melon aromas, followed by flavors of lemon meringue, honeydew melon and with hints of just ripe braeburn apples that linger throughout a long, satisfying finish.
This is already a favorite for "on the deck" sipping for summer parties and events. You'll be amazed how easily this one pairs with food or is just enjoyable to drink by itself!

 

TREOS Ternion Port-style Dessert Wine wins accolades!

Treos NV Ternion Hazelnut Infused Dessert Wine, Oregon, $39

By Great Northwest Wine on January 7, 2015

Here’s the latest in the growing lineup Dave Jepson’s of delectable wines from Monmouth, Ore. — an unusual Port-style that starts with two barrels of Pinot Noir from the acclaimed 2012 vintage, which are then infused with locally grown and roasted filberts. Aromas of poached black cherry and grilled strawberry lead to luscious flavors of black cherry and strawberry. There’s just a hint of nuttiness in the sweet finish, and the structure is beautiful with sandy tannins and integrated alcohol.

Rating: Excellent
Production: 72 cases
Alcohol: 18%

TREOS Dry Muscat named one of the best 100 in 2014!

Great Northwest Wine top 100 wines of 2014: 

64. Treos Wines 2013 Dry Muscat, Willamette Valley, $21

Monmouth, Ore., winemaker Dave Jepson has a passion and a knack with producing Muscat in a dry style, and for a second straight vintage he’s merited our top rating with it. While he continues to use Muscat Ottonel, he changed up the blend just a bit from last year by substituting Muscat Blanc for the historic Muscat of Alexandria. The resulting wine remains just as fanciful with classic Muscat aromas of rosewater, lychee, ripe pineapple and white flowers. The drink is clean, bright, dry and lovely with tropical fruit flavors and rosewater. There’s complexity on the midpalate with a slight sheen of lanolin before the cleansing arrival of acidity and a finish of orange oil. Fortunately, he’s increased production by about 50 percent, and while he packages it in a 375-millilter bottle, don’t confuse this for a late-harvest or sticky dessert wine.
Production: 90 cases
Alcohol: 13%

ACCOLADES FOR TREOS' NEW ALBARINO

Treos Wines 2013 Albariño, Willamette Valley, $25

By Great Northwest Wine on November 26, 2014

 

This young and tiny winery in Monmouth, Ore., continues to release a variety of wines with a penchant of craftsmanship. A product of the winery’s third commercial release, their expression of this Iberian grape jumps out of the game with racy aromas and flavors of yellow grapefruit, Asian pear and dried apple with brightness to the lime acidity and  complex notes of dusty minerality backed by a bite of pear skin tannin. Outside of Thanksgiving and Memorial Day weekends, the tasting room is open by appointment only, but it’s worth the call and the special effort.

Rating: Excellent

Production: 45 cases
Alcohol: 13.5%

"OUTSTANDING" Reviews from Great Northwest Wine:

Oregon Pinot Noir for Thanksgiving 
Treos Wines 2012 Elegant Reserve Estate Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, $48

By Andy Perdue on November 16, 2014

Dave Jepson of Monmouth released another impressive Oregon Pinot Noir from the stunning 2012 vintage, this a melange of five Dijon clones from the small estate plantings by Jepson and his partnership group. There’s plenty of ripeness and hedonism with the nose of plum, cherry taffy, mocha and black pepper. The palate is rich and loaded with black cherry, President plum and ripe raspberry. Its tannin structure is sublime, yet the finish of chocolate-covered pomegranate supplies plenty of food-friendly juiciness. Enjoy within four years, and suggested pairings range from roasted chicken, lamb and veal to pasta to charcuterie.

Treos Wines 2012 Founder’s Choice Estate Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, $48
 By Great Northwest Wine on October 24, 2014


Two years ago, this tiny Monmouth, Ore., winery released its first wines, a product of vines planted in 2007 by a trio of couples — hence Treos. We’ve loved Dave Jepson’s Dry Muscat, and here’s the second commercial vintage of Pinot Noir, a blend of clones 667 and 777 cropped below one ton to the acre. There’s early fascination with a nose of dried sage and larch needle leading to black cherry, Marionberry, red currant, mocha and nutmeg. The entry is rich and succulent with plump black cherry and blueberry flavors, supported by mild tannins and lingering acidity. Vineyard managers in the Willamette Valley didn’t need to worry about ripening during the 2012 vintage, and that’s evident here, yet while the listed alcohol level raises eyebrows, the finish carries itself with delicious hedonism rather than heat.

Rating: Outstanding!

VOLUME 9, ISSUE 45
August 15, 2014
2012 TREOS Estate Founder’s Choice Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
15.5% alc., 195 cases, $48. Clones 667 and 777. Yields 0.8 tons per acre. Intention to create the richest, boldest expression of Pinot Noir that can make. Aged in Sirugue French oak barrels. · Dark reddish purple color in the glass. The winemaker has achieved his objective for this is a BIG, weighty, lush wine playing in the realm of Syrah. The aromatics are muted with demure scents of raw beef, dark berry, vanilla and spearmint. Soft and velvety on the palate, the sap is intense, brooding and earthy with flavors of purple and black berries, spice and vanilla. The palate is much more interesting than the nose at this stage. There is plenty of backbone to back up the fruit. The alcohol is well hidden but still peaks out a skosh on the finish.

2012 TREOS Estate Elegant Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
15.0% alc., 170 cases, $48. Yields 0.75 tons per acre. Five Dijon clones. Aged in Sirugue French oak barrels. · Dark reddish purple color in the glass. Shy, but pleasing aromas of red cherry, cherry tart and cutting board. Plenty of spring in its step, this wine trends toward the darker red fruit spectrum. A big wine that is well-structured with good integration of oak and alcohol. Finishes lively and upbeat with generous fruit.
