A Seattle-area surgeon, the late Dr. William McAndrew, and his wife, Margaret, established this vineyard in 1972 on the slopes of Underwood Mountain. For decades, it’s been a go-to site for cool-climate varieties among winemakers in both Washington and Oregon, which is why this young Woodinville winery has prized its contract for those grapes. Sweet strawberry, pine forest, orange marmalade on toast and powdered ginger notes make for a yummy experience and a finish that goes on forever.
