Red Willow Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2024

This is the sans soufre cab franc @Delectable and it is a step up from the base cuvee. Excellent. — 24 days ago

Isenhower Cellars

Yakima Valley Roussanne 2017

219 cases produced. Light yellow, excellent clarity. Aromas of pineapple and guava. Lemon, pomelo pulp and tropical fruit flavors. Dry, almost syrupy mouthfeel, crisp lemon peel finish. Not quite as elegant as the 2016, but a lot to like here. Turning into one of my two favorite white varietals for wine as I drink more examples of these from Isenhower and, occasionally, others in the Pacific Northwest. More Roussanne please. — 5 years ago

Art Den Hoed Yakima Valley Viognier 2023

Floral, rather oily texture that explodes with peach, a saline/ citrus, honey and flowers. Quite a spicy element to this as well. For @ $ 20, this is excellent. — a month ago

Really good winery, though IMO they let the alcohol get too high in a few of their reds.

Block 1 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Crossfork Creek Cellars

Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Red crimson color with a soft orange edge.
Bright, rich fruit envelops the palate like silk.
Plummy, figgy, cherries flourish through a long finish with low, building acid.
There's a familiar flavor after the finish that I can't place but it pushes the acid.

B. Leighton

Olsen Brothers Vineyard Syrah 2016

Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of black and blue fruit, violets, roasted meat, spices, wet stones and tobacco. Flavors of blackberry, blueberry, black raspberry, roasted herbs, black pepper and black olives. Long and savory finish. Complex and very “Northern Rhône-like.” Full bodied, lively and just the right amount of tannin. Excellent! — 6 months ago
