Ginkgo Forest Winery 2013 Estate Reserve Carménère, Wahluke Slope, $38
By Great Northwest Wine on July 13, 2017
This Mattawa-based winery now has tasting rooms in Tacoma and Prosser, but still gets all of its grapes from estate vines on the Wahluke Slope. This remarkable Carménère reveals aromas of new-car leather, pencil shavings and a hint of graphite. On the palate, this unveils flavors of a classic Carménère with sweet herbs, black pepper, anise and rich, ripe red fruit. It merited a gold medal and best of class at the 2017 Wenatchee Wine Awards.
