RATINGS

92James Suckling

This is well pitched and has a very attractive mix of freshness with bright pink fruit and watermelon, as well as a long, fresh finish with pink apples and dry pears.

92Jeb Dunnuck

...beautiful...white peach, crushed rocks, white flowers, and pineapple notes. It's medium-bodied, layered, vibrant and fresh...

91+ The Wine Advocate

Medium-bodied on the palate, the wine has a citrus-driven core and a soft, focused mineral character, revealing cranberry, strawberry and raspberry flavors on the mid-palate...exciting focus, balance and prominent tension, with a dusty raspberry note as it lingers on the long finish...

91Stephen Tanzer

...aromas of watermelon, red berries, citrus zest, orange peel and rose petal. Chewy, savory flavors of red raspberry, strawberry and grapefruit pith deliver a rare combination of richness and definition... Finishes dusty, tactile and long, with notes of quince and dried apricot.

91Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of wet stone, raspberry, strawberry and herb lead to minerally, weighty savory flavors.

90Wine Spectator

Refined and expressive, with distinctive raspberry, orange peel and smoky pepper flavors that take on richness on the long finish.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Walla Walla Valley

Walla Walla Valley AVA likes to call itself the Napa Valley of Washington, and given the concentration of well-reviewed wineries in the appellation, the comparison is understandable. The Walla Walla appellation is comprised of 340,000 acres, of which 1,200 acres are vineyards. Walla Walla is located in the southeastern corner of Washington and it extends slightly into northeastern Oregon. It is named after the Walla Walla River Valley, and the city of Walla Walla is the commercial center of Washington’s wine industry. The city was founded in the 1840s by the Hudson’s Bay Company as a trading post, but as early as the 1850s farmers were planting grapes for winemaking. Prohibition shuttered winemaking in the early 20th century, but a winemaking renaissance started in the 1970s when Leonetti Cellars, still one of the state’s most acclaimed wineries, started producing acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignon. Walla Walla’s AVA status was awarded in 1984 and today there are more than 100 wineries. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most frequently planted grape, followed by Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese Chardonnay and Viognier.
