Nose: Smoky lemon and apple, hint of tar (just a hint) and white flowers.

Palate: lots of citrus and crisp apple, almost seashell/saline minerality mixed in with stones and touch of smoky tar on finish.

This wine has rounded out since being released in 2008. The grapes were chosen from the Seven Hills, Loess, Mill Creek, Upland. Pepper Bridge, as well as Bacchus-Dionysus and Wallula, both located in the Columbia Valley. It is a blend of 76% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Carmenere and 4% Petit Verdot, having the highest percentage of Carmenere that I have seen for this wine. This vintage was characterized by an early bud break and a hot summer which led to ripe fruit. The wine opens with aromas of milk chocolate, Turkish coffee, sagebrush and black cherry. This leads to rich flavors of black cherry, anise, sage, blackberry and mocha. There is a silky mouthfeel and wonderful viscosity, despite the wine being nearly 10 years old. This is drinking beautifully, one of the best of its kind. 2,723 cases of this delicious wine made. Drink 2019-2035- 96 — 7 years ago

White Bluffs, Estate White Blend. Blend of Sauvignon Blanc (Bacchus, Gamache Vyds) and Semillon (Dionysus Vyds). Pale white, excellent clarity. White floral aromas, citrus and orchard fruit flavors, slight seed bitterness but good fruit and acid. Everyday sipping or food wine, we paired it with flatbread. And you know it’s good because it has a reliable screw cap- no leaks, no accidental oxidation. Drink up! — 3 years ago

Jongleur Petit Verdot red table wine, Columbia Valley, Dionysus Vineyards, 292 cases made. Dense purple red, highly extracted pigment. Butter, black currant and spearmint notes in nose initially. Black currant flavor with lots of chewy tannins, with a slightly salty black licorice finish. Allow 30 minutes to open; nuanced, lightly flavored but depth of fruit, good acidity, an undercurrent of anise, fruit and floral character, but well integrated. Moderate skin astringency. — 6 years ago

The 2018 ‘Sestina’ is a gorgeous blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc. Sourced from some esteemed sites like the Red Willow and Dionysus Vineyards, the wine showcases anise and sagebrush aromatic tones alongside dark currant jelly and shades of black cherry syrup that all meld together. The palate is soft, round and generous, showing a beautiful sense of balance. Ripe blackberry jelly and mocha tones collide with smoky minerals, saline drenched boysenberry and firm tannins holding everything in place. This has a long life ahead of it and try to give this at least another year before consuming. Drink 2022-2041- 94 — 5 years ago

This is just wine. Perfect balance, everyone enjoys it, not sweet, not too acidic, goes with food, goes without food. It’s really perfect. I feel like this is Dionysus’ house wine. — 6 years ago
