From estate-grown fruit, this is fragrant and off-dry, showing honeysuckle, Meyer lemon, tangerine and grapefruit in the mix of scents and flavors. It’s a fine example of what Washington can do with Riesling, bringing bright, sappy fruit flavors to vibrant acidity, complex sugars and a lingering liveliness on the palate. If this is any indication of what this vineyard (and Chelan in general) is capable of producing, Washington has found its next great Riesling appellation.

Though somewhat reductive, with a mix of sweet fruit, tar and rubber ball in the nose, this generous Syrah opens up with juicy flavors of black cherry and loganberry fruit. The acids are a bit chalky, and the 14.8% alcohol seems to dampen the aromatic impact of the 5% Viognier that was cofermented.
