89 points - “Daily Wine Pick” - Wine Spectator - March 02, 2009 2006 Grand Estates Shiraz Columbia Valley
Smooth and generous. A plush mouthful of plum, blackberry and spice flavors that linger on the open-textured finish.
85 points - “Highly Recommended” - California Grapevine - October 01, 2008 2006 Grand Estates Shiraz Columbia Valley
Medium to medium-dark ruby; fragrant, spicy, boysenberry fruit aroma with oaky overtones; medium-full to full body; tight, herbal, very peppery, slightly creamy, dark currant and black raspberry fruit flavors with a hint of green apple; full tannin; somewhat drying on the finish; lingering aftertaste.
“Double Gold Award” - Wine Press Northwest - December 31, 2007 2003 Grand Estates Shiraz Columbia Valley
Ray Einberger oversees production of Washington’s largest winery. How he and his staff manage to balance mass quantities with high quality is one of life’s great mysteries. This Syrah opens with aromas that reminded us more of Cote-Rotie than Barossa, thanks to notes of bacon and focused black fruit. On the palate, the fruit virtually explodes with flavors of plush cherries, black olives, molasses and blackberry jam. It comes off as much more complex than its price tag, no doubt.
88 points - “Best Buy” - Wine Enthusiast - August 01, 2007 2003 Grand Estates Shiraz Columbia Valley
This is a clear step up from the excellent Two Vines Shiraz, and worth the extra couple of bucks. Wild berry flavors and varietal spice are given a somewhat tannic, earthy frame. Flavors suggest graphite, moist soil and some textural grainy tannins. It’s substantial, not just simple and fruity, and offered a lot of depth for the price.
