"Our Columbia Valley Riesling is a blend of Riesling from throughout Washington’s Columbia Valley. We craft it to be a refreshing, off-dry Riesling vintage after vintage. The wine delivers sweet lime and peach character with subtle mineral notes. This is our “any day Riesling” that is a pleasure to drink and easy to match with a variety of foods."

"Cold Creek Chardonnay is typified by concentration and intensity from the 40-year-old vines and warmth of the site. This Chardonnay is a decadent style with ripe fruit and a toasty character. The cooler 2011 vintage in Washington provided enhanced acidity with an elegant finish. The combination of a powerful vineyard in a cooler vintage makes for a very balanced and ageable style of Chardonnay."

"This is a fresh, soft style of Chardonnay with bright apple and sweet citrus fruit character and subtle spice and oak nuances. We blend Chardonnay grapes from vineyards all over Washington’s Columbia Valley to make this a complex, interesting wine. The sur lie aging gives it an appealing softness."

"Sweet and appealing for its lemon curd and apple pie flavors, lingering easily."

"In the nose, cut summer grass gives way to white nectarine, honeysuckle, Italian melon and white anise. Crushed seashells and minerals abound and anchor this wine all the way through to the fresh and complex finish. Italian inspired, locally produced."

"This unrestrained Riesling opens with aromas of pears, lime juice and white flowers. Intense flavors of peach, apricot and nectarine are joined by honey nuances, tangy acidity and a hint of sweetness to round it out."

"Our Pinot Gris style falls between the lighter Italian Pinot Grigio and the richer, rounder Pinot Gris from Alsace. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris offers fresh ? avors of juicy pear, melon and a hint of spice. A touch of Viognier contributes texture and an attractive ? oral character. This wine is a perfect match with scallops or halibut."
