RATINGS

96Jeb Dunnuck

...perfumed, medium to full-bodied white that has subtle apricot and poached pear fruits, some spicy, honeyed flower nuances, a round, layered, beautifully textured mouthfeel, and a great finish that has a distinct sense of salty minerality...powerful yet flawlessly balanced...

94Decanter Magazine (points)

Powerful and robust...shows depth and richness with aromatics of honeyed apricots, dried Turkish figs, and dried white meadow flowers...palate shows nutmeg-spiced pear, macerated white peaches, and rich clover honey depth. The finish flexes a dash of white pepper and saline minerality that lifts the entire affair. Deliciously complex...

93Vinous / IWC

...wafts up with a tropical mix of mangos, peaches, toasted coconut and hints of confectionary spice...seamless and elegant with a stimulating core of acidity to balance its silken textures, as a tinge of tart citrus offsets its ripe orchard fruits and sweet inner florals...finishes with tension, leaving fresh apricot, a liquid stone sensation and salty mineral tones to resonate.

REGION

United States, Washington, Columbia Valley, Yakima Valley, Red Mountain

Yakima Valley AVA was the first AVA created in Washington State. The valley, a 600,000-acre area in south central Washington, was granted AVA status in 1983. In 1984 Columbia Valley was given AVA status, and Yakima Valley was enclosed within the Columbia Valley AVA. Nevertheless, Yakima Valley remains home to the largest concentration of vineyards and wineries in the state. There are more than 60 wineries and some 16,000 vineyard acres, and nearly 40% of Washington wines are made with Yakima Valley grapes. The most frequently planted grape is Chardonnay, followed by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Winemaking here dates to 1869, when a winemaker from Alsace planted grape vines. Vineyard planting and wine production plodded along slowly until the early 1980s when numerous modern pioneers started making well-reviewed Yakima Valley wines. Some of the state’s newest, most closely watched appellations, including Red Mountain AVA and Horse Heaven Hills AVA, are contained within Yakima Valley.

TYPE

White Wine, Roussanne

This white grape is often blended with Marsanne. It is one of the few grapes allowed in many Rhone appellations. It is easily distinguished by its russet color when ripe. Producers who favor Roussanne include Chateau Beaucastel and Sine Qua Non.
