Varietal Details

2015 Sagemoor Vineyards Riesling – 750ML Regular Price $20

100% Dionysus Vineyard, block 17, Columbia Valley (WA). Sourced from Dionysus Vineyard on the east bank of the Columbia River in Washington State, this wine begins with fresh banana (for you science geeks out there like me, isoamyl acetate is the ester that causes this), Fuji apple, pear, and nectarine on the nose. On the palate, apple, lemon, pear, and nectarine join your senses leading to a lasting finish of balanced acid with only a slight bit of sweetness (1.15% residual sugar). This wine is a testament to the fact that not all Rieslings are sweet. The winemaker tasted this wine during fermentation each day until he felt that it was right where it needed to be, and now that wine is in your hands. Fermented in stainless for 36 days. Drink now through 2025.

2018 Yakima Valley Pinot Grigio – 750ML Regular Price $20

Simply delicious and refreshing white with a great clean taste that most everyone will enjoy. This wine possesses aromas of apple, citrus, orange blossom, toasted nuts, and distinct minerality. The palate is bright with acidity and a rich texture that highlights flavors of baked apple and orange citrus. Blend: 100% Pinot Grigio, Columbia Valley (WA). Alcohol: 14.2%.

2018 Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon – 750ML Regular Price $25

Sourced from Yakima Valley against the foothills of the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington, this wine is medium garnet in color and was picked at the end of the 2017 harvest.
