Ex Umbris Yakima Valley Valley Syrah

Delightful Syrah. Very fruit forward on the nose. The taste is nicely balanced, the fruit giving way to an unctuous flavor blend, pepper, leather, and bits of olive. The finish could be a bit longer. — 8 years ago

Coop Yakima Valley Viognier Blend

2014 vintage. Rounded fruit flavors of melon, poached pear, yellow apple, unripe pineapple, white flowers, little waxiness from the Roussanne. Nice little blend with different contributions from each component variety. — 9 years ago

This looked intriguing when I saw it. Need to check it out.

Florals kind of trail off after the first day, so try to get it all down in one day. Tasty, nevertheless, and definitely a sucker for anything with a fox on the label :)

Ex Umbris Columbia Valley Syrah 2011

A beautiful example of Columbia Valley Syrah!! Big Dark brambly fruit with smokey black olive overtones. I keep coming back to this wine! I think it is better then what the “pros” rate it. (Average: 8.8). Outstanding and a great value. Paid $25. — 9 years ago

DuBrul Vineyard Riesling

2014 vintage.

Had this for the first time at the winery in Yakima late last year and was blown away by the freshness and quality of fruit. Lemon verbena and tropical fruit and petrol jump out of the glass and onto your palate. Dry, but with a midpalate roundness that makes it more interesting the more you drink it.

Also, the label looks like the Tower of Joy from "Game of Thrones".

Cantina Bartolo Mascarello

Barolo Nebbiolo 2012

Tasting with Alan & Maria Teresa at Bartolo Mascarello. To see the cantina in person, to learn the history and hear how ferociously it's being preserved - I am grateful for every sip I've had. And particularly this one.
One of the parcels (Ruè) was pretty much decimated by hail in 2012, so it is a much smaller component of the blend than typical. A seriously elegant wine.

Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Light in color, wet leather and tiny curry and spice on the nose. Low tannins, very round and pleasant. Almost more Merlot like as opposed to a big Washington cab. Smooth and easy drinking delicious Cabernet. — 10 years ago

Corvidae Wine (Owen Roe)

Mirth Columbia Valley Chardonnay

This wine smells like an island breeze in the Pacific. A hint of coconut, white pepper, ginger, white flower and lime. This crisp and clean white wine refreshes the palate and makes me crave coconut shrimp! — 8 years ago

Union Gap Syrah 2013

I love the dusty rose note I get from Owen Roe Syrah in the aromas and on the palate. I also get cocoa, sweet spices, and blackberry aromas. The texture is lovely. I'd like to hold onto this for a few more years, but it is juicy and tempting now! — 8 years ago

Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Fantastic, if understated Sauv Blanc from the preeminent Waipara area of NZ! Starts very calm, but opens to a. Beautiful bouquet of citrus, vanilla, even kiwi and breadfruits - first taste was underwhelming . . . but just wait for this to open!! — 9 years ago
