A surprising Pinot Noir from the Puget Sound AVA. Tart, tannic and lightly spicy, it presents itself as a rustic café red.

A fruit-forward, high-toned Pinot Gris, with straightforward pear fruit flavors.

This is a very light Cabernet, with pale strawberry fruit and earthy tannins. The blend includes smaller amounts of Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot.

This easygoing, fruit-forward take on Pinot Gris is styled for immediate enjoyment. The fruit is ripe and flavorful—a nice mix of fresh cut pear and apple, with a hint of orange peel giving it a little stiffness and tannin. The blend includes Siegerrebe, Gewürztraminer and Viognier, and the alcohol is listed at just over 13%, so this is a perfect wine for a spring picnic.

This blend of Marsanne, Viognier and Roussanne has a sweaty note and does not show the fruit ripeness that one would hope for. It’s rather generic, lightly lemony, and just a little off-putting with that stale, sweaty character lingering into the finish.

Very light, could almost be a rosé.

Despite 15.1% alcohol, this is dull, one dimensional and rather light. The tannins are a little beefed up, but there’s marginal fruit and everything seems a bit out of whack.

Clean and varietal, with cool-site flavors of lemon and lime. Bracing acidity, and cool, green fruit throughout.

Simple and fruity, this is a pleasant, easy-drinking table wine. The Barrel Select designation does not mean oaky.

Red Mountain is not especially known for its Gewürztraminer other than the late harvest wines from Kiona. Here it has been blended with 12% Marsanne, resulting in a spicy, off-dry (1.4 residual sugar), rather yeasty wine.
