Snoqualmie Cabernet Sauvignon Rosebud Columbia Valley

The fruit from Rosebud Vineyards is packed with delicious red fruit aromas and flavors. Hints of sage, cocoa, and sweet oak define the mid palate and finish along with luscious tannins.

Chateau Ste. Michelle Syrah Columbia Valley

White pepper spice aromas lead to rich black cherry and blackberry jam flavors. This is a soft, lush and jammy style of Syrah with a lingering coffee, brambleberry finish. Pair with beef, grilled salmon,strongly flavored cheeses.

Saisons de Vins Sauvignon Blanc L'ete

Winemaker Wells Guthrie (also of Copafn Wines) uses French wines as models, since they are wines of place, varietal character, and value while enhancing the foods they accompany. Wells makes one wine per season under this label. All the fruit was sourced from the biodynamically farmed Power House vineyard located in Potter Valley. No gooseberry flavors here û just clean lemon and pear, impressive minerality, and refreshing acidity. Fermented in 75% stainless steel tanks with the remainder in 3 year old chardonnay barrels. Bottled unfined.

Saisons de Vins Syrah l'Hiver

Winemaker Wells Guthrie (also of Copafn Wines) uses French wines as models, since they are wines of place, varietal character, and value while enhancing the foods they accompany. Wells makes one wine per season under this label. Wells sources fruit from two vineyards ù Madder Lake in Lake County and Vecino Vineyard in Potter Valley ù and combines it with a few de-classified barrels from the Copafn Syrah program. Like WellsÆ other wines, it is deep, intense, and Northern Rhone-like with smoky, earthy, black raspberry fruit and hints of coffee and licorice. 90 Points from Parker!

Seresin Pinot Noir

Good full red. Black fruits, violet and licorice on the nose. Sappy and spicy but also nicely supple; currently a bit closed in on itself but ultimately shows a bit more texture than the 2002. But this wine is locked up tight today and dominated by its structure.

Seresin Sauvignon Blanc

Indigenous yeasts and a selection of cultured yeasts were utilised for fermentation, for added complexity and texture. A small percentage of the blend was fermented in older French barriques to add depth, which when combined with regular batonnage, contributes a yeasty creaminess to fill the mid-palate. The indigenous yeast, barrel-fermentation, and extended lees contact are all used to contribute complexity, texture, and integration to this wine.

Snoqualmie Gewurztraminer Columbia Valley Naked

Organically farmed. The wine releases aromas of flower petals and candied clove spice. Candied fruit characters are balanced nicely with bright acidity and a clean off-dry style. Classic Gewnrztraminer spiciness on the palate is carried through the lingering finish.

Stafford Hill Pinot Noir

Stafford Hill is a bit of an insider's deal among Oregon wines. The second label for the much pricier, and sought after, Holloran Vineyards. That label is gaining a strong following, and its wines sell out quickly. The Pinot has lush aromas of raspberry, blackberry and dark cherry fruit. The complex flavors are accentuated by spicy oak. A great value in Pinot.

Stafford Hill Riesling

Stafford Hill is a bit of an insider's deal among Oregon wines. The second label for the much pricier, and sought after, Holloran Vineyards. That label is gaining a strong following, and its wines sell out quickly. The Riesling is pure, dense, beautifully balanced dry riesling that will pair superbly with just about any fish dish you care to concoct, as well as a partner to various cheeses. Completely dry (nonsweet) this is yet another example of why dry riesling is, in this taster's opinion, Oregon's best white wine.

St. Innocent Pinot Noir Seven Springs Vineyard

Amazing terrior based wine from one the most acclaimed vinyards and winemakers in oregon.

Snoqualmie Merlot Columbia Valley Reserve

Aromas of rich, black cherry fruit characters are threaded with hints of rosemary. The fruit characters carry through the palate with lush, soft tannins and sweet oak flavors.

Solena Pinot Noir

Dry, medium body, medium tannins with good fruit.

Silvan Ridge Chardonnay

Aromas of yellow plum, guava, citrus and hazelnut with a hint of vanilla. Quite rich and lively on the attack. Flavors mirror the nose. Acidity provides significant structure to the powerful fruit. Nice palate length.

Snoqualmie Riesling Columbia Valley Naked

Organically farmed and produced, this Riesling showcases bright aromas of apple and pear with a touch of spice. These Riesling spice characteristics are carried through the palate. The off-dry finish is clean and soft. This wine is wonderful to sip while nibbling on assorted cheeses.

Silvan Ridge Merlot

Aromas of dark chocolate, plum and herb are accompanied by smooth, rich flavors and firm structure. This wine will continue to benefit from the cellar at least through 2005.

Silvan Ridge Pinot Gris

Aromatically intriguing, this wine starts with scents of honeydew melon, citrus blossom and nectarine. An elegant mTlange of lively flavorsûpink grapefruit, pineapple, mandarin orange and Meyer lemon-create a mouthwatering tension between the ripe, generous fruit and the crisp, refreshing finish.

Silvan Ridge Pinot Noir

This medium bodied and aromatic Oregon Pinot Noir opens with aromas of raspberry, cherry liqueur and leather with a touch of clove. Pomegranate, cherry and plum flavors dominate the palate. This wine should age well for the next 7 years.

Silvan Ridge Pinot Noir Reserve

This Pinot Noir has medium-bodied, balanced fruit flavors with lively hints of herbs and spice in both the scent and flavor.

Silvan Ridge Viognier

As simple and as pure an expression of the grape as you'll find in Oregon, from an emergent South Oregon vineyard that's rapidly gaining a reputation for success with Rhone varietals, this wine opens with aromas of peach blossom along with a slightly herbal backnote; it's clean, round, and fresh on the palate, with rich peach flavors and sweet refreshing fruit on the finish.

Selene Sauvignon Blanc Hyde Vineyard

This vintage definitely has a stone fruit bent to it, with lots of apricot, nectarine, and peach. The aromas also show ripe pear and Granny Smith apple, along with the usual suspects, honeysuckle, and stony mineral character that evolve with time in the glass. The flavor concentration and intensity come through very clearly in the mouth, with the wine showing the rich viscosity and good acidity that wine drinkers have come to expect from Selene Sauvignon Blanc. 91 Points from Wine Spectator!

Snoqualmie Syrah Columbia Valley Reserve

The aromatics offer dense, black plum and blueberry notes with hints of smoky leather. On the palate, rich mocha and sweet oak flavors complement the fruit. This is a bright and juicy wine with soft lingering tannins.

Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay Sonoma County

Beautiful floral aromas of Plumeria and honeysuckle bring a tropical feel to the nose of this Chardonnay. A rich, buttery entry layered with flavors of orange zest, Asian pears and Golden Delicious apples surrounds a subtle, smoky backnote throughout a well-balanced finish.

Steel Creek Chardonnay

A great Chardonnay for only a few dollars. What else could you ask for? Crisp and clean, fermented in tank, showing nusances of stone and minerall with sweet Chard fruit and a tangy finish. Seldom do we see values like this from California any more.

Steel Creek Cabernet Sauvignon

A great Cab for the money. Fat and juicy with a good solid body of fruit and soft tannins that maintain a silky, smooth finish.
