Founder & President, Northwest Wines Ltd. Established 1985. I only post wines I like.
Clean, fresh at nearly 5 years. Reductive and a little spritzy in a good way. Resembles a top German Müller-Thurgau. — 14 days ago
Nearly 24 and still lively. Lots of clean, spicy botrytis. Somewhere between medium-dry and medium-sweet. In a word, “delicious “! — 14 days ago
34 years old. The brand is gone but I presume the vineyard is still producing for someone. With an hour of aeration it opens complexly to red forest berries, cedar pencil, iron. If you like well-aged right bank Bordeaux chances are you’d like this. — 6 days ago
Outstanding! — 14 days ago
Over delivers for a $15 btl. Nice, clean, dry, fresh, white blend. Not unlike a modern well made Viognier. — 14 days ago
No sign of age at nearly 16. Still loaded with its primary fruit. — 14 days ago
24 years old. The brand is gone but the vineyard must be producing still for someone. With aeration it opens complexly to red forest berries, cedar pencil, iron. If you like well-aged right bank Bordeaux, chances are you’d like this. — 9 days ago
30-year-old Washington Lemberger (aka Blaufrankisch). Shockingly youthful color shows barely a hint of age with amazingly fresh aromas and palate. Blueberries and ripe plums. Red Mountain minerality brings a degree of subtle complexity with aeration. — 11 days ago
Full-bodied and fully mature. Very good but was expecting magic that did not happen. — 14 days ago

I don’t have a reference point for Refosco but I do for nice, tasty wine, and this one delivers on that count. Blackberries, violets, and subtle iron-iodine notes that many Northeast reds often exhibit. Medium-bodied, moderate tannins, bright and fresh. — 5 days ago
