Very, very limited. Very, very delicious. We are in love with the Bordeaux varietals that are coming out of Washington state. They are incredibly seductive.

Tanzer 91 “From basalt-rich soil that’s older than Slide Mountain Vineyard. Good full bright ruby. Very ripe aromas of black cherry and dark chocolate. Sweet broad and chocolatey on the palate; a bit less perfumed and sappy than the Slide Mountain Vineyard example and perhaps a little more high-toned. Finishes chocolatey, sweet and long, with substantial ripe tannins.”

Tasted this yesterday and it is ridiculously awesome. They have added Cabernet Franc to the blend so I felt there was a touch more grip on the 2009 compared to the 2008.

2008 – WS 92 “Lithe, polished and distinctive for its tightly wound tobacco-accented blackberry and plum flavors, hinting at black olive as the finish lingers nicely. Shows refinement and depth. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel. Best from 2012 through 2017.”

WS 90 “Dark and rich, this is packed with blueberry, plum and currant fruit that picks up hints of white pepper and floral notes on the finish. Lingering easily, this should hold nicely. Drink now through 2014.”

Parker 88 “The Chardonnay offerings begin with the 2008 Chardonnay Indian Wells. Light gold-colored, it displays a nose of toast, pear, melon, and baking spices (thyme and tarragon). On the palate this medium-bodied effort has good volume, spicy flavors, and a lengthy finish. It is an excellent value in quality Chardonnay.”
WS 88 “Smooth and fragrant, with tobacco and peach pit overtones to the apple and stone fruit flavors, finishing with polish. Drink now.”

Many of us in the wine industry agree that Washington State is a rising star wine region. An area that is sandwiched between the rich, opulent wines of California and the delicate ones of Oregon. Large production to the south and boutique wine making to the north. Washington easily could find itself becoming schizophrenically confused between deciding which model to follow. Luckily for all of us, the winemakers in this state have chosen to follow their own path.
Unlike California, Washington State has a shorter growing season which has helped keep alcohol at a palatable level (in our opinions at least). Many regions in the state are very arid which helps keep the temperatures stable throughout the growing season. This, along with very strict irrigation rules, allows for the vintages to maintain consistency each year.

The first approach of the nose reveals notes of stone fruits: peaches, apricots, nectarines. The passion fruit comes afterwards with hints of honey and pineapple. The intense fruity character shows then in the mouth with savory layers of tangerines, very ripe honeydew and pears, juicy peaches lingered with a citrusy touch. Its mild sweetness adds an extra dimension and enhances the fruitiness that lingers on honey flavors. A superb wine to match Asian food or gather with friends for an aperitif. Serve it chilled.
