April 4, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

The Leutholds have earned an unsurpassed seven Platinum Awards for their Malbec program, starting with the classic 2005 vintage, so it was not surprising to see one of Richard Batchelor’s bottlings finish as the No. 1 wine of this tasting.

Italian reds have captured the imagination of owner Brad Sherman and co-winemaker Jared Whelchel, and StoneTree Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope has been a prized resource for these varieties. Brambleberries, candied apple and sagebrush aromas lead to a firecracker of a palate, exploding with cranberry, pomegranate cinnamon and ginger, capped by a lick of barbecued meat. This … [Read more...] about Michael Florentino Cellars 2014 Primitivo, Wahluke Slope $28

Camaraderie Cellars 2018 Dionysus Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley $45

Olympic Peninsula winemaker Don Corson has won at least one Platinum for his Cabernet Sauvignon program in each of the past three years, and this effort from Sagemoor’s historic Dionysus Vineyard stood atop our judging as the highest-ranking Cab. This work from a site established in 1971 exudes endless layers of dark fruit akin to black currant, black cherry and dried … [Read more...] about Camaraderie Cellars 2018 Dionysus Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley $45
