The Tasting Room, Yakima: wines : Wines of Washington

Cuvee Forte

It is an elegant wine with nuances of apple, pear and light citrus = earning a 90pt score from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

2010 Riesling

Welcome to this intensely aromatic example of Riesling from NHV for 2010. Please enjoy the rich tropical fruit nose accented with hints of that Riesling "petrol." Juicy fruit gum, banana, passion fruit, papaya and mango fill the mouth upon entry. And we hate to think what they do upon exit. Who writes this stuff?

2006 Chardonnay

From the oldest block in Washington's Grand Cru vineyard comes this lovely rich and balanced Chardonnay. Aromas of mandarin orange, apple tart tatin, wet stone and mineral precede flavors of orange, mango, hazelnut and spice.

2004 Syrah - Sundance Vynd

This rich and fulfilling Syrah opens with aromas of blackberry syrup, raspberry, leather, au jus and barrel toast. In the mouth is displays flavors of berry fruits, spice and cream, balanced with supple tannins and acidity.

2008 Semillon

Classic gold in color, which will deepen with time. The flavors are rich and complex, with hints of melon and sage with a touch of smoky oak. Semillon is delicious on it's own or when paired with salads, seafood, and light cheeses.

2003 Cuvee Alexander

Bright aromas of Chambord, cassis, pencil lead, damp earth and mocha are framed by toasty oak, toffee and barrel spice. In the mouth it displays juicy black cherry and ripe plum flavors

1999 Brut

This is a blend of seventeen base wines from the 1999 harvest that were fermented in French oak barrels. A rich and creamy wine with tiny bubbles and a toasty, nutty flavor.

Non-Vintage

It is fruity with a long finish and is clearly within the brut range of sweetness. This wine is soft with its apple, pear and spice flavors.

2008 Sangiovese

The taste of Tuscany in a glass! The Wilridge 2008 Sangiovese is bright cherry in color with a bouquet that also exhibits hints of cherry. The flavors are bold with a bright beam of acidity one expects from a great Sangiovese

2008 Late Harvest Pinot Gris

Now this is dessert in a glass! Pear, peach, apricot and some light citrus notes fill your senses as you partake in this fine example of a late harvest dessert wine.
