2023 Ezy Tgr Oregon Red Table Wine

The 2023 EZY TGR Red Table Wine is a playful yet thoughtfully crafted expression from the Columbia Gorge AVA in Oregon, produced by the team behind Ovum Wines (John House & Ksenija Kostic). 

This certified‑organic wine is a creative blend of 50% Early Muscat and 50% a co‑ferment of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Pinot Noir, and Mencía, grown on volcanic soils and Missoula flood deposits across Oregon. 

Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel (and a portion aged in neutral barrels) and bottled unfined & unfiltered, it emphasizes freshness, transparency of site, and minimal winemaking intervention. 

With an alcohol level of approximately 12% and a vivid, juicy character, this “table” red defies expectations—it’s meant to be enjoyed slightly chilled, relaxed, and without pretense.

Nose
Bright and immediate aromas of tart cherry Jolly‑Rancher, pomegranate molasses, Bing cherry and a hint of bay leaf and roasted beetroot.

Palate
Light to medium‑bodied with crisp acidity and expressive fruit. Flavors of fresh red plums, cherry skin, and wild strawberry are anchored by a surprising minerality—granite‑like textured and lifted.

Finish
Clean, easy and lingering—red‑berry echoes fade into gentle spice and savory mineral tones. A wine that invites another pour.

Wood‑fired pepperoni pizza or tomato‑based pasta — The wine’s fun red fruit and brisk acidity lift up the dish without overpowering.

Seasoned grilled pork or chicken skewers — The playful nature and lower tannin keep it versatile with simply seasoned meats.

Charcuterie & mixed cheese board — Prosciutto, salami, mild‑aged cheddar or gouda pair nicely with the wine’s fruit focus and moderate structure.

Picnic fare / light barbecues — Soft‑serve burgers, grilled veggies, burritos: this is a wine made for relaxed dining.
