Columbia Crest

Private Reserve Walter Clore Columbia Valley Red Blend 2013

Had this one on the shelf for a while.
Classic Cali Cab. Big, earthy, sharp tannins that time has maybe softened just a touch..
Once upon a time this was my jam….

Bunker Hill Chardonnay 2016

Paired side-by-side with 2016 Lingua Franca Bunker Hill. (Same vintage, same vineyard, different producers!) the this Walter Scott won our hearts and tongues but just barely. Beautiful reduction notes on the nose - burnt matches, some grass, and candied tropical fruits. Strong lemon and orchard fruit components with good malo creaminess and oak, but bright acid and medium bodied tightness. Drank over a few hours and it kept opening with more fruit like papaya, green apple, and apricot. I wish this wouldn’t end. — 2 years ago

Arlyn Vineyard Gamay Noir 2019

Serious gamay here - drank it too young and could use another couple years in the bottle to mellow some. Concentrated sour black cherry flavors with some hints of savory spices. Tannins need a bit more time to integrate. Wish I had another bottle to try again in the future. — 3 years ago

Cuvée Alyce Pinot Noir 2021

Delectable Wine
9.5

The 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvée Alyce is another gorgeous wine in this range. It offers a compelling balance of fruit intensity and energy. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint, rose petal and cinnamon all soar out of the glass. High-toned aromatics and bright acids lend vibrancy throughout. The 2021 is a bit shy today, but it has so much to offer. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2023)

Justice Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Mycket potent och lite fint fluff och energi. Skulle lämnat ett ännu bättre slutgiltigt intryck om det inte var för att vinet slocknade något i glaset. Hade kanske behövt drickas över längre tid. — 2 years ago

Birthday gift cards = high-end thanksgiving pinots. Russian River candy apple top notes remain my favorite. — 3 years ago

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

This is good. The nose is gorgeous. I can smell it for days (I have been). There’s white pepper, potpourri medley (rose, lavender), red and blue fruit. The tannins are lush with present acidity that’s not overbearing. That palate has a good spice, less floral quality with good red fruit, pomegranate and red cherries. I’d say drink now, but definitely don’t wait more than a couple years (2022 ish). — 4 years ago

Cuvée Alyce Chardonnay 2018

Ming L
9.3

The expressive nose shows ripe peach, apricot, coconut, dried white flower, roasted almond, and hint of honey. The medium to full body is richly textured with great depth of flavors echoing the nose, yet mange’s to be nimble enough. Long elegant finish.
From selected parcels from the estate vineyards at the highest elevation, This is an exuberant yet graceful chard. Super delicious.

Viticole Cuvée Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay 2018

2018 might be even better than the ‘17. Lemon curd, light tropical notes, but steely Chablis-like acidity makes it all work. Another lovely WScott Chard, esp. for those that are not as fond of the warmer siblings father south. — 4 years ago
