Best Buy! Third-generation winemaker Tyler Williams honors the legacy of the late Walter Clore in compelling fashion with his family’s latest bottling of the Austrian red grape. It spotlights a project dating to 1976 that was encouraged by the storied Washington State University researcher. There are now 13 acres of Lemberger grown across family-owned blocks planted in four different decades, and the distinctly food- friendly red broadcasts notes of blue and black fruit with hints of rye bread, cinnamon-enrobed dark cherry, fruitcake and a finish of white pepper and rosemary. The bottle also comes with a request by the clan — ”World class in lighter glass. Please recycle.” Qualifying award: Cascadia International (gold)
