MikeL's Guide to WA Wineries

1993 Chardonnay: Our chardonnay is an elegant blend of full bodied Columbia Valley Chardonnay grapes, some picked at their sugary peak, others picked at their acidic optimum. They are then fermented and enriched in oak cooperage to impart depth and complexity and finally blended into a truly noble white wine. Enjoy with seafood, fowl, veal, or pasta. A Cellar Master's Reserve is also available in limited quantities.

It is crisp and dry, a welcome change from traditional white wines and a delightfully pleasant surprise to a sophisticated palate. Serve with fish, fowl, and white sauce pasta.
Varietal: Chasselas; Appellation: ?; Vineyard: ?; Cases produced: ?; TA: 0.63, RS: 1.0%, Alcohol 10.5%.

Varietal: ?; Appellation: ?; Vineyard: ?; Cases produced: ?; TA: 0.65, RS: 0.3%, Alcohol 12%.

1995 Madeline Angevine: Delicately refreshing, distinctively aromatic and unusually flavorful, Mad Ang is rare because it tastes best when vinified from grapes grown in the extreme northern limits of wine producing latitudes. It is a treat with chicken and seafood and favored as an aperitif in Europe. A Cellar Master's Reserve vinified from free run juice is also available in limited quantities.
Varietal: Madeline Angevine; Appellation: ?; Vineyard: ?; Cases produced: ?; TA: 0.68, RS: 1.2%, Alcohol 11.4%.

1995 Siegerrebe: Considered by many to produce the most aromatic of grape wines, the Siegerrebe grape is grown in cooler wine regions of Europe, principally along the Rhine in Germany. A distinctly fruity flavor sets this wine apart and gives it an unforgettable, unique taste. Serve with seafood, chicken and holiday fowl or as a lip- smacking accompaniment with light snacks and picnics.
Varietal: Siegerrebe; Appellation: ?; Vineyard: ?; Cases produced: ?; TA: 0.49, RS: 1.7%, Alcohol 10.1%.

1993 Cabernet Sauvignon: Vinified from grapes cultivated in the heat of the lower Columbia Valley at Crawford Vineyards and aged in oak, this Cabernet exemplifies its robust heritage. One of our finest vintages for flavor, elegance, and color, it may be consumed now or put down for additional aging.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon; Appellation: ?; Vineyard: ?; Cases produced: ?; TA: 0.65, RS: 0.0%, Alcohol 13.5%.

1993 Lemberger: Believed by some to be a sport of Pinot Noir, the Lemberger grape produces a wine of little distinction in Germany, its homeland. But, when grown in the heat of Eastern Washington and aged in oak, a truly outstanding wine results. The flavors of ham, veal, and game are enhanced by this wine.
Varietal: Lemberger; Appellation: ?; Vineyard: ?; Cases produced: ?; TA: 0.8, RS: 0.0%, Alcohol 12.8%.

1993 Merlot: Almost as important a varietal as Cabernet in Bordeaux, Merlot imparts softness, fruit, grace and charm when blended with the world's most famous clarets.

Outstanding with beef, pork, lamb, game and pastas made with tomato based sauces.
Varietal: Merlot; Appellation: ?; Vineyard: ?; Cases produced: ?; TA: 0.65, RS: 0.0%, Alcohol 12%.

1988 Pinot Noir: Only three or four times in a decade is it warm enough at our vineyard to grow quality Pinot Noir. 1988 was such a vintage. Thirty months aging in oak barrels helps soften the acidity of Pinot Noir but it will improve with additional aging. Excellent with lamb, pork or barbecue. (Available in 375 ml only.)
