Winery - Badger Mountain
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The initials mean "no sulfites added" and that, plus the unusual blue bottle, make this a one of a kind riesling. From organically grown grapes, this is fresh, sweetly fruity, with a clean, citrusy pop.

A neutral white wine blend, from organically grown grapes. Simple and bland.

Organically cultivated and vinified, this forward, overripe wine starts off with sweet, jammy fruit then seems to fall apart in the glass. It smells and tastes baked; the finish, sour and tannic, feels manipulated.

This organically grown, no-sulfites-added Chardonnay is forward and fruity, with a nice scent of green apples and just a hint of butterscotch. Lively and made for immediate drinking.

A sweet, sappy nose, highlighted with minty spice, leads into a chewy young wine with pleasant, innocuous fruit and a soft, smooth finish.

The initials mean no sulfites added; the wine comes from organically grown grapes, but it smells of stem and root, rather than good, ripe fruit. Earthy and spare.

Badger Mountain grows its grapes organically, but its red wines, even in a near-perfect Washington vintage like 1998, seem underripe, thin and hard. This too is simple and tannic.

Atypical for a California Viognier, with citrus and honey flavors. You might mistake it for a Sauvignon Blanc, but it’s nonetheless tasty and refreshing. Polished, rich and balanced. Serve it well chilled with a mango salsa.

A hint of brick is already showing in the color, and the nose is leafy, with toasted tomato instead of ripe fruit.

This series of wines, under the Badger Mountain label of Powers winery, uses grapes that are organically grown. Minimal sulfites are added. This a fresh, forward, deliciously fruity Chardonnay, loaded with a classy mix of apple, pear and peach fruit. A great springtime sipper.
