The Tasting Room, Yakima: wines : Wines of Washington

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.

2008 Pinot Grigio

Crisp, clean & fresh. The 2008 Wilridge Pinot Grigio has wonderful crisp citrus notes on the nose with mellow lemon custard and a hint of vanilla on the finish.

2008 Red Mt. Melange

The 2008 Red Mountain Melange aroma is redolent of cassis and herbs. It exhibits good structure and the capacity to age for many years. Old world in style but still with the indelible mark of Red Mountain terroir.

2009 Pinot Gris

Dive into this extraordinary Pinot Gris from our high altitude volcanic soil vineyard. Lush ripe Bosc pear, golden delicious apple, cardamom spice and a hint of grapefruit and Mandarin.

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.

2006 Syrah

This Syrah is similar to Cote Rotie in style – with a rich, almost smoky flavor. For the second year in a row, the Syrah and Viognier at Elephant Mountain Vineyard ripened at the same time, allowing us to coferment the Syrah with a small amount of Viognier. The tiny amount of Viognier brings out the aroma of the wine and is a secret of wines from the Cote Rotie on the Rhone River in Southern France. Enjoy Wilridge Syrah with hearty winter fare such as stews and grilled meats, or chill it a bit and try it with barbecue.

2005 Claret

The 2005 Harlequin Claret is a wine reminiscent of left bank Medoc Bordeaux. Bright aromas of blackberry, cherry, cassis, pencil lead, damp earth and mocha are framed by toasty oak, toffee and barrel spice.

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

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.

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.
