William Grassie Wine Estates 2011 Courageux, Columbia Valley, $45
The debut vintage of Woodinville winemaker Bill Grassie shows a focus on Bordeaux varieties, a knowledge of some of the state’s top vineyards and the skills to create award-winning wines. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (73%), Merlot (25%) and Petit Verdot came from Ambassador, Copeland, Dineen, Klipsun and Stillwater Creek, and it offers a balanced nose of fruit and barrel — primarily new French oak. Aromas come with hints of black cherry, cola, cocoa, black pepper and sweet pipe tobacco. The drink is light to medium bodied with notes of red currant and boysenberry with a pinch of sage in the finish. These wines are available at Jak’s Grill in Issaquah and can be ordered at liquor stores and wine merchants in his home state of Kansas.
