Good drinking wine. Opens up nicely after about 2 hours. Light rose petal nose. Would purchase again.

Wines tasted in 2007

2004
Columbia Crest Two Vines Shiraz
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Wow, this was not showing well tonght. Aroma of stewed tomatoes. On the palate there was more stewed flavors, this time of plums and prunes. Would not purchase.

2004
Desert Wind Vineyard RUAH
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Wahluke Slope
Strong scents of buttered corn and oak. Kind of disjointed on the finish. Tannins have not resolved very well. If I was going to a wine "sniffing" I would really enjoy this wine, but the tasting kind of killed it. Would not purchase.

2005
Cougar Crest Viognier
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley
Had a taste at a Christmas party. Not giving much up on the nose, but may have been served a little too chilled. Hints of kiwi and pineapple on the palate. Very crisp acidity, which by itself was a bit over the top. May have improved with food. For the price there are better options out there. Would not purchase.
