Desert Wind Winery 2022 Estate Albariño, Royal Slope, $32

November 20, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Chilean-born winemaker Matías Kúsulas benefits from the broad collection of Columbia Valley vineyards under the ownership of the Lawrence and Merkle families. Those include Corfu Crossing, where Josh Lawrence established clone 1 Albariño at 1,660 feet elevation in 2018. This bottling marks the second vintage since the partners took over the brand from the Fries family, and … [Read more...] about Desert Wind Winery 2022 Estate Albariño, Royal Slope, $32

Caprio Cellars 2022 Estate White Wine, Walla Walla Valley, $38

November 9, 2023 by Eric Degerman Leave a Comment

Vintners around the world invest in marketing mavens and trademark attorneys to come up with proprietary names for wines. Other than honoring the memories after his grandmother and great grandmother with his two most important red wines, Dennis Murphy doesn’t spend any bandwidth on names for his other wines. That explains why his blend of Sauvignon Blanc (75%) and Sémillon … [Read more...] about Caprio Cellars 2022 Estate White Wine, Walla Walla Valley, $38

Puffin Wines 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, Willamette Valley, $24

October 31, 2023 by Eric Degerman Leave a Comment

Coincidence? Maybe, but arguably the most New Zealandesque of the Sauvignon Blancs in this tasting came from a collaboration with a Kiwi-born winemaker — Ray Walsh — and Cannon Beach wine merchant Steven Sinkler. The nose screams gooseberry with lemon, yellow grapefruit, river rock and minerality. Walsh fermented this lot of organic grapes from the Salmon Safe-certified Croft … [Read more...] about Puffin Wines 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, Willamette Valley, $24

Indian Creek Wine Cellars 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, Snake River Valley, $23

October 31, 2023 by Eric Degerman Leave a Comment

This second-generation winegrowing family in the Boise suburbs continues to reflect the maturation of the Idaho wine industry in this serious, bone-dry example of Sauvignon Blanc. Mike McClure’s winemaking presents gooseberry-laden aromas that include jasmine, Granny Smith apple, celery leaf and a faint whiff of tomcat. It’s compelling with its style, flashing lime juice, green … [Read more...] about Indian Creek Wine Cellars 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, Snake River Valley, $23

Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2022 Dry Rock Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, Okanagan Valley $18.99

October 31, 2023 by Eric Degerman Leave a Comment

Best Buy! The Gehringer family devotes this Sauvignon Blanc to its Dry Rock planting adjacent the winery, and it’s no surprise for one of their entries to emerge as elite, evidenced by seven career Platinum Awards for their work with this variety. Wonderfully fresh aromas of pink grapefruit, gooseberry and lime lead into the rewarding palate of pink grapefruit, honeydew melon … [Read more...] about Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2022 Dry Rock Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, Okanagan Valley $18.99
