Columbia Crest Winery 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon

Traditional black cherry and blueberry notes are layered with toasty coconut and vanilla in this rich, concentrated wine from what many are calling the Columbia Valley's vintage of the decade. Look for this wine to grow increasingly refined with bottle age.

Columbia Crest Winery 2000 Chardonnay

Apple and banana aromas mingle nicely with toasty oak. Immediately rich and lush on the palate, apple and a hint of pear then trail into a mouth-filling, supple finish.

Columbia Crest Winery 2001 Gewürztraminer

This is a classic Gewurztraminer with aromas of spice and citrus. It is the perfect aperitif with lots of crispness and refreshing acidity, and it is a terrific match for spicy Asian dishes.

Columbia Crest Winery 2001 Johannisberg Riesling

Apricot and honeysuckle are noticeable on the palate. This is a clean, crisp wine that offers a hint of sweetness on the balanced finish.

Columbia Crest Winery 2000 White Riesling

Floral and stone fruit aromas are continued on the palate. It is an excellent aperitif or partner to a custard-based dessert.

Columbia Crest Winery 1998 Merlot

Columbia Crest is known for its soft, fruity Merlots and this one from what many Washington winemakers are calling "the vintage of the decade" really struts its stuff. Black cherry and raspberry embrace coconut, vanilla and toast from 14 months of barrel aging.

Columbia Crest 2000 Merlot-Cabernet

The 2000 Merlot-Cabernet is blend of 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon harvested as individual lots and held separately for vinification. Generous blackberry and raspberry notes waft from the glass and are reintroduced on the palate. The 12 month oak aging yields a supple mouthfeel ideal as your everyday red wine. The Merlot-Cabernet from Columbia Crest is an ideal accompaniment to such homemade traditions as spaghetti and meatballs or grilled steak.

Columbia Crest 2000 Sauvignon Blanc

The 2000 vintage had some unusual weather patterns throughout the growing season resulting in additional hang time creating ideal sugar accumulation and flavor maturity. A refreshing, crisp wine with melon and herbal aroma that precede a lemon-pear finish.

Columbia Crest 1997 Semillon

Semillon is the key ingredient in two of France’s most famous whites, from Sauternes and Pessac-Leognan. This Semillon gives you a chance to see why the French prize it. The wine’s citrus, melon, and fig notes will continue to deepen in the bottle, while the relatively modest residual sugar ensures that neither sweetness nor acidity will dominate the wine’s finish. Drink it now or give it a season or two of additional bottle age.

Columbia Crest 2001 Semillon Chardonnay

This wine pairs well with Oysters on the half shell and pasta with Gorgonzola cream sauce. A pleasing sipper with pear, fig and melon flavors. The finish on this lively, medium-bodied wine is clear and refreshing.
