“A Vintage Value and Recommended” - Northwest Palate - November 30, 2007 2006 Grand Estates Riesling Columbia Valley
Sweet scents of baked peach and dried summer flowers are full and alluring. Crisp acidity gives a mouthwatering quality to the lightly sweet and juicy flavors of ripe peach and apricot. The straightforward flavors would pair well with chicken liver mousse.

“Outstanding” - Wine Press Northwest - October 01, 2007 2006 Grand Estates Riesling Columbia Valley
Classic orchard notes as well as tropical features reach out from this complex release. Juicy pineapple flavors are joined by papayas, then give way to orange oil and Meyer lemon acidity to balance the sugar that’s finished with more apples. Food possibilities include group, halibut with a lime/papaya/pepper salsa or chicken alongside a pineapple-based chutney.
“Outstanding” - Wine Press Northwest - April 01, 2007 2005 Grand Estates Riesling Columbia Valley
Harvest of this fruit began Aug. 15, the earliest on record, but the results were right on time. It’s reminiscent of Bubble Up with tangerine, citrus, but much more complex in tropical fruit, bananas, apples and delicious spice. The residual sugar (205%) is nicely balanced on the bright mid-palate with acidity. Enjoy as a cocktail, alongside a lettuce salad – incorporating grilled pears, Gorgonzola, toasted pine nuts with a light fruit vinaigrette – or a pork entrée with sautéed apples and onions.
89 points - “Best Buy” - Wine Enthusiast - December 31, 2006 2005 Grand Estates Riesling Columbia Valley
This is the mid-tier Riesling for Columbia Crest, a sensational wine that captures everything that is distinctive about Washington fruit. Fragrant and loaded with floral aromatics, it carries persistent orange blossom and lemon candy scents and flavors into a lush midpalate that touches on tropical papaya and mango. The off-dry residual sweetness plumps it up but is mostly masked by the natural acids, keeping this very food-friendly.^
