Tirriddis, House Gris, Columbia Valley Washington $29.00
The House Gris bows to the peach skin aromas often found in Washington Pinot Gris. Pale white with steady streams of bubbles the House Gris is ready to drink pool side or dressed up. Aromas of sweet lemon and stone fruits finish with tropical melon rinds. Light bodied and delicate the House Gris holds high acidity balanced with an elevated dosage.
COR Cellars AGO, Tocai Friulano, Columbia Valley Washington $34.00
Friulano, formerly the Tocai Friulano, (after a disagreement with the Hungarian government regarding the “tokai”) is a very popular white grape native of the Friuli Venezia Giulia, where it has been grown since the 1600’s. But grown here in Washington! Poised and elegant with an undercurrent of energy and power. This unexpected and unique varietal pops with white blossoms and soft petals as it pirouettes across the landscape, eyes focused on the destination but improvising along the way.
Quidditty, Red Blend “Amore” Columbia Valley, Washington $44.00
Relatively new winemaker (2019) Greg Peiker has taken grapes from two of the state’s top vineyards, Elephant Mountain and its sister Sugarloaf, for this GSM blend of Syrah (62%), Mourvèdre (23%) and Grenache.
Black raspberry, strawberry and Herbes de Provence. Pinches of white pepper and violet along with cherry juice make for an elegant finish.
Foolhardy, Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley, Washington. $34.00
Foolhardy Vintners is the partnership of Jonathan Edelman and Dan Sogg, two friends with a shared passion for wine. The third vintage of the FH is crazy easy to like. Supple and generous, it features a range of black cherry, blackberry and delicious dark chocolate tones. A Wonderfull representation of Columbia Valley Cabernet.
