Floral, red fruits, still a bit structured and tannic, lovely balance, long, lingering finish, needs further cellaring, should work great with grilled wild Puget Sound salmon!! — 10 months ago

Enjoyed this crisp refreshing bottle with my cruise crew moored on the hook in Jarrell Cove in South Puget Sound. Went so well with Souvlaki chicken kabobs, rice pilaf and garlic lemon asparagus 😃 — 5 years ago

The minerality of this wine oddly matches the minerality of the island tap water, and has a volcanic odor like the sediment around Chalk Sound. Strange but delightful melding of two completely different places. — 6 years ago

This deep ruby wine is rich with blueberry and cassis flavors, with a pleasant, lingering graphite flavor to the finish. This may sound strange, but it is effective in cleansing the palate. This is Malbec in the Bordeaux style, rather than the Latin American, but translated through the gloss of Washington terroir and craft! — 7 years ago

Earthy, but not like you’re licking rocks. More like it’s so good you might find yourself hitting the ground after having several glasses — 5 years ago

Again another super vintage of this wine. Refreshing crisp melon notes and slight mineral aftertones. — 6 years ago

I am always eager to uncork a high end Washington Syrah! 😺🍷 I had been cellaring this bottle, the “last man standing” from my visit to the winery a few years back. This bottle did not disappoint. It is full of the rich plum fruits layered over that body so peculiar to Washington Syrah, this sort of pleasant mushroom tinge. I realize that may not sound palatable, but once tasted, it really lights up that “eureka!” center of the oenophile brain; imagine your first tastee if the Rutherford Dust tannic structure. Amaviis among my favorite Walla Walla wineries, and this Syrah is perfect for sipping with honored guests or old friends 😼 — 7 years ago

Low acidity wine with pleasant sweetness belying a clean finish. Honeysuckle and melon flavors with a light citrus finish. — 8 years ago

A relatively low degree of residual sugar gives this raspberry wine a vibrancy not common in dessert wines or fruit wines in general. Will stand well on it’s own as an after-dinner drink or paired with a red-fruited dessert. — 8 years ago

This wine has a deep ruby hue. 👁️

👃🏻 The nose and palate 👄 resemble robust and ripe plum, cassis, candied black cherry, and blackberry bramble, violet, vanilla, nutmeg, coconut, cedar, clove, cigar, mocha, cocoa, and tobacco.

Tannins are soft, velveteen, and fine-grained. Alcohol is high (14.8%). Acidity is present. Structure is sound. The finish lingers.

This Columbia Valley, WA wine is downright delicious!! The kind of wine that could pop and pour now or age for 10+ years. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 — 4 years ago

“I am not drinking any f#<k*ng Merlot!”
OK go figure, easy drinking wine BUT has surprises. On swirl: rose petal red & thick legs. On nose: Strawberry field near the ocean in time converts to deep Raspberry with hints on baked crumble spices. On taste: Abundance of Strawberry then surprise! Tingling in mouth of cola characteristics followed by hints of oak, leather & ends satisfying length of chocolate syrup. This may sound like a teenager loose in the kitchen but it worked with savoury roast beef🍷 — 5 years ago

Delicious! Actually has a lot of similarity to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc. I’m not an expert, yet... but if I blind tasted this I would have guessed a New Zealand Sauv Blanc. Notes of Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin Orange, Green Apple, Lychee, Pear, Nectarine with hints of Slate and some Salinity. Low alcohol at 11% and good acidity with a medium finish. — 8 years ago

60/20/20 blend Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault. A classic wine for a very smoky early autumn-like day in Puget Sound. Light extracted dark red in color, excellent clarity. Floral and red fruit notes in nose. Peach, cranberry, cherry and later tutti frutti flavors in mouth with anise and minerality in finish, slight skin astringency. Dry to off dry. Cherry and anise aftertaste. So much flavor... — 8 years ago

Big, extracted, fruit forward/jammy and boozy. That might sound somehow cheap or seductive and, well, one of those might be true (seduction!). But damn, this some good stuff. Mmmmmm... — 8 years ago
