The Tasting Room, Yakima: Wilridge Winery : Wines of Washington

2006 Merlot

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
