What Pale bright yellow. Pungent aromas of gooseberry, lemon and lime, plus a hint of fig.  Juicy and fairly intense, with a slightly sweaty, varietally typical aspect to the gooseberry and curry powder flavors.  The uncompromising finish is quite dry and a bit tart.

“A fresh, mineral-driven white wine, this offers light fruit flavors of green apple and gooseberry.
What gives it lift and life are the vivacious acids and the mouth-coating minerality. “

“Elegant aromas of black cherry and cedar and a hint of chocolate combine with flavors of cassis, black berries and plum. Chewy tannins and bright acid give this wine structure and vitality leading into a lingering finish.”

“A true Alsatian style wine, this dry Gewürztraminer is loaded with honeysuckle and orange blossom. The literal translation is “spice grapes” and with well balanced acidity and hints of apple and pear the meaning rings true. This Thanksgiving favorite is also a great food match for Asian spiced foods.”

Medium-dry style. “The nose of this wine is full of lime zest and floral notes with touches of mineral and the palette is full bodied and complex. Don’t let the sugar on the label turn you off, there is plenty of acid making this a well-balanced and lively food wine.”

“… intense aromas of ripe strawberry jam, plum and cassis.”  Winemaker notes

Dionysus Vineyard is one of the oldest vineyards in Washington State.  Very small production, a collector’s dream.  John Morris’ personal pick!

“If I were forced to name a single Washington winery offering the best value across the entire range of their portfolio, it might well be Arbor Crest. I made that statement one year ago and these new releases only reinforce my view.” – Robert Parker’s WA

“… bright pineapple, lemon and honey characters that unfold on the palate as peach and almond.  Finished slightly sweet to balance natural acidity.”  Winemaker notes

“The 2009 Syrah Three Vineyards was aged for 24 months in 40% new oak. It is a glass-coating opaque purple color with an alluring bouquet of smoked meat, game, pepper, lavender, and blueberry. Succulent and layered on the palate, it has the structure to blossom for another 2-3 years and will provide pleasure through 2021.”

“The flagship Dionysus cuvee is made only in what Arbor Crest considers to be the better vintages (the last two being 2002 and 2005). The 2008 Dionysus is made up of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc with the balance Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot sourced from 5 vineyards and aged for 36 months in French oak. Complex aromas of spice box, sandalwood, earthy minerals, herbs, violets, and assorted black fruits titillate the nose. In the glass it displays opulence, power, and plenty of fine-grained tannin. This succulent, well balanced wine will continue to blossom for another 3-4 years and drink well through 2028.”

“The 2009 Cabernet Franc Conner Lee Vineyard (100%) offers up a panorama of herbs and spices, floral notes, cassis, and black currants. In the glass it opens to reveal its elegant personality along with layered savory flavors, good balance, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. It will provide enjoyment through 2021 and is an outstanding value.”
