Officer, I know how this looks, but hear me out: I'm doing a commercial for Naked Winery! They make a whole bunch of sexy vino that's food-friendly and easy to drink! So OBVIOUSLY as the spokesperson for these wines, I need to be nude. As for the pogo stick, well...maybe that's where the plan falls flat.

2014 Naked Winery Merlot, Columbia Valley
Black cherry and ripe red plum on the nose lead to notes of currant and soft tannins on the palate with a really pleasant finish. Although aged for 12 months in mostly neutral oak, this Merlot is all about the fruit.
Food Pairings: The fruit in this Merlot is the perfect compliment to a Four Cheese Rigatoni with Italian Sausage.
2014 Naked Winery Pinot Noir, Rogue Valley
Distinct notes of caramel on the nose followed by a blast of blue raspberry with good tannic structure for a bigger Pinot than is normally characteristic for Willamette Valley fruit. A classic light body and rich cherry nose is followed by a delicate satin tannin finish that lingers playfully on your tongue.
A warm summer, sunny and mild, boded well as grapes matured along a normal ripening curve. We were lucky and picked our grapes early before the rains and cool temperatures lingered. Thus we benefited from an idyllic summer, fully ripening without high sugar levels, making delicious and generous wines.
Food Pairing: Start with fresh bruschetta followed by a hearty serving of spaghetti carbonara.
2014 Naked Winery Penetration Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley
As you taste this Penetration, black cherries dominate followed by an elegant smoky and barrel toast finish. Black currant and dark cherry invite the nose to linger only to discover hints of clove and praline. Soft tannins are present but not overpowering.
Food Pairings: Blackened prime rib covered with butter sautéed mushrooms with garlic mash potatoes and creamed broccoli would fit the bill for this wine.

What is the mission of Naked Winery? from Naked Winery on Vimeo.
At Naked Winery we’re on a mission to cut America’s divorce rate in half by inviting couples to shut off the TV and share a glass of wine with each other nightly. Our philosophy is to produce premium class Oregon and Washington wines, with exotic brands and provocative back labels that are just a bit risqué. We aim to please the palate, change the conversation and enhance the romantic experience around wine. Drink what you like and remember that, “We Aim to Tease!”. In addition to our flagship brands Naked Winery and Oh! Orgasmic, we also offer Outdoor Vino, a wine that lets you “Take it Outside!” Packaged in a durable plastic bottle weighing in at only a fraction (1/6) of a traditional wine bottle, it’s reusable, recyclable and BPA-free, perfect for those looking for an outdoor adventure.
Our winemaking is focused on the fruit. We are blessed with beautiful berries and our job is to treat them with love, care and nurturing till they are in the bottle for your enjoyment. Our “Big” red varietals (Barbera, Cabernet, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Zinfandel) are orgasmically grown in the hot and dry Apple Gate and Columbia Valley regions of Oregon and Washington respectively.
While our food friendly varietals (Chardonnay, Muscat, Pinot Blanc/Gris/Noir and Riesling) benefit from the cool pacific marine layers of the Willamette and Rogue Valley's to produce subtle and complex wines. New American Oak is used judiciously develop bouquets that complement our “Bold” wines while mostly neutral French barrels provide complexity and layering for our fruit forward wines.
