I love this producer. Their top drawer Cabernets are exceptional. I bought some bottles in San Francisco. I never see Quilceda Creek in Australia.

Yes, exceptional wines! Revealing the high potential of the Columbia Valley of Washington with clonal selections of Cab Sauv. They also produce a more budget friendlier cvr blend that is still in a league by it selves. One of the first wineries in Washington State established back in the late nineteen seventies. They own and manage some very famous vineyards along the Columbia River. Their nearly entire wine making team left in 2021 which was a shocker so we will have to see how they overcame that. So far so good 😊

Bel Canto Cara Mia Vineyard Red Blend 2016

Have you baked fruit I’ve only slightly accompanied, bacon, spices, more like a little bit of juicy and fatty tannins that complement more than blend. Gives a good structure, so the whole thing doesn’t end up too jammy. Woods beyond oak like cedar, cigarbox, Cedar, Pinion-wood, things like that. A little bit of forest floor mushroom.  — 6 months ago

Quite an amazing wine with all the right notes of an aged bottle that should be enjoyed with pasta, steak, or a delectable dessert. — 5 months ago

Kiona Vineyards

Red Mountain Lemberger 2021

Red? Medium pigment extraction, very good clarity. Woody herbal flavors, cherry and black currant finish. Some unexpected flavors in there so the Lagrein varietal comparison is more apt than I anticipated. With more development, some spice and eucalyptus emerges. Good value but strikes me as different from previous releases by Kiona. Have the grapes changed their varietal expression (climate change), the winemaking, or my palate? Nice wine, good value but no answers, friends — 7 months ago

Mark Ryan Winery

Wild Eyed Red Mountain Syrah 2012

Purchased at release and like most WA Syrahs needs time to achieve its potential. This wine is now soft and fully integrated with black and red cherry graphite tar menthol spice cedar smoked meat all in balance with just enoigh acid to keep it bright. Color is still deep ruby with no rim variation. I've had every vintage ever made of the Wild Eyed and remain loyal. — 4 months ago
