The Tasting Room, Yakima: wines : Wines of Washington

Brut Rose

This Brut Rose was made in the traditional French "saignee" method. The Pinot Noir grapes were crushed and allowed to sit on thier skins for 14 hours. This gives the wine its unique vibrant bolor and complex taste.

2006 Nebbiolo di Klipsun

Dark brick red in color. The aroma is classic Nebbiolo, with violets and rose petals in the nose. This wine is powerful and finishes with strong tannins, indicating long aging potential.

2009 Estate Melange Blanc

This is our first biodynamic white wine from our vineyard here at Wilridge. It is a blend of Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier. It was vinified in stainless steel tanks creating a very light, crisp and acidic summer wine. It will pair with an array of foods! Only 55 cases produced!

2006 Merlot

This is no wimpy Merlot, but a structured red from one of Washington's most prestigious vineyards.

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.

2008 Syrah

Indulge your senses in our first release of Syrah under our NHV label. This 6th leaf Syrah is grown at 1800’ elevation on the Goat Rocks Andesite lava flow ten miles west of Yakima above the Naches Valley.

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.

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 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 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.
