2010 was a breakout year for Washington with continued accolades and high scores. Of note, Gramercy Cellars was named Food & Wine magazine’s ‘Best New Winery in America’ – the second year a Washington winery has won a major award from the magazine. Wine Spectator devoted a cover story to Washington wine. The magazine also gave its highest scores ever to a Washington red wine – 97 points - for the Charles Smith 2006 Royal City Syrah, Cayuse 2006 Armada Vineyard Syrah, Grand Reve 2007 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and Owen Roe 2007 Red Willow Syrah. All things told Wine Spectator rated 17 wines 95 points or higher – ‘classic’ in the publication’s definition. No other year has seen a number remotely close to this. Wine Spectator was not alone with Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate also giving numerous Washington wines high scores.

While Crane was pleased with the results of his first release (as were consumers with the wines quickly selling out), the 2007 vintage was one of Washington’s finest with near perfect growing conditions. Crane says, “2007 was easy. In 2008 I worked a lot harder.” The results, however, are equally impressive.

In the late 1990s, Busch met Eric Dunham who had recently started Dunham Cellars. They met through a mutual friend, Jamie Brown (now of Waters Winery), who owned a record store, Ruby Records, in Seattle. Dunham and Brown spent a night at Busch’s house in Seattle, and Dunham brought a bottle of his newly released 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon. Busch says, “I remember tasting that wine and it all clicked, like, ‘What was I drinking before that I thought was good wine?’ It was a stunner.”

It seems almost impossible to believe that Corliss Estates is now finishing its tenth year. The winery spent much of this time below periscope depth. The first two vintages were made and discarded when they did not meet the quality standard the winery was looking to set. The subsequent vintages – starting with the winery’s first releases from the 2003 vintage – have been nothing short of sublime. However, even these wines took many years to find their way into consumers’ hands.


The couple’s fascination with wine began on their honeymoon in Italy. There they saw how imbedded wine was in the culture. They decided they wanted to make wine part of their lives.

A fourth generation Walla Wallan, Justin Wylie was inspired to start Va Piano Vineyards during his senior year at Gonzaga University. That year, he spent time studying in Florence, Italy where he fell in love with the culture, art, and lifestyle. He decided to recreate a piece of that same lifestyle back in Walla Walla. Wylie built a beautiful Tuscan-style villa in the rolling hills south of town. The winery is as scenic as any in the valley with surrounding vineyards and the Blue Mountains as a backdrop.

Small is lean and wiry, intense and passionate. Among the things he is most passionate about are viticulture and his estate vineyard. This is so much the case that Small handed off winemaking responsibilities to Kevin Mott in 2003 to focus on the vineyard. “I figure if I can bring better fruit down to him, it’s a win-win,” Small says.

Robanske works as a teacher at Garrison Creek Middle School in Walla Walla. Several years ago he was looking for more ways to make an impact on young children’s lives. Robanske was particularly interested in working with orphaned children.
“I don't know exactly why or when or even what was the catalyst to prompt my interest in children with no family. I do know that it was something deep though, some strong call in my heart to love children who don't believe they are loved,” Robanske says.



In tough times, we continue the search for good, inexpensive wines.
Pacific Rim is Washington State’s Riesling specialist. This beautiful dessert wine – the 2007 Vin de Glacier – hails from Selenium Vineyard. Grapes were frozen and then pressed with the resulting juice approximately 36 Brix. The wine was then fermented to 16% Residual Sugar but the wine retains the acidity to pull it off. The final result is a compelling wine that drinks like a wine of a much higher price point - a perfect punctuation to any meal.



Today’s fresh sheet - reviews of recent and current Washington wine releases – includes wines from Lantz Cellars, Fielding Hills Winery, and Dunham Cellars.

Correll made his first wine in a carboy in 1997. In 2002 he made his first barrel of wine while assisting at Wineglass Cellars. By 2005, he had launched Barrage Cellars.

2010 offers a few easy options with a couple excellent new books recently released. The first is Paul Gregutt’s Washington Wines & Wineries: The Essential Guide, 2nd Edition. This is nothing short of a must-have for anyone interested in Washington wine specifically and wine more generally. As I wrote in my review, the second edition is much like a new book, with double the number of winery entries and numerous chapters significantly revised.

My intention in starting the Reader Survey three years ago was to hear about what Washington wines my readers thought were most exciting from the year gone by and what wines they were most excited about in the coming year. This goal remains.

Like many, Joe Forest of Tempus Cellars graduated from college at a loss for what he wanted to do next. An English Literature major at the University of Washington, Forest started his post-college career working at Seattle’s Wild Ginger.
Known for its exceptional wine list in general and Washington wine list in particular, Forest gained exposure to a broad array of wines during his time at the restaurant. Forest’s father was a home winemaker, so wine had always been part of the household. His experience at Wild Ginger, however, piqued his interest and opened up a new world.

With twenty-one vintages under his belt, David Larsen of Soos Creek Wine Cellars is one of Washington’s longer-tenured winemakers. A former marathon runner with the slender frame to prove it, Larsen’s soft-spoken, humble nature belies a man of focus and talent.
Larsen has taken a slow, steady, almost methodical approach to Soos Creek. “With the winery, I’ve always been very conservative,” Larsen says. Working in The Boeing Company’s finance group taught Larsen the meaning of risk. He is a man who thinks long-term and looks to go the distance. He wants his wines to do the same.

A few notes about the nominees. I eliminated nominations that did not contain a vintage date, as well as any wines from back vintages. While I planned to cap the list at 60 wines, I let it expand to 70 in the interests of inclusion. Also, due to the number of entries, I am changing the rules to allow people to vote for any three nominees in each category (as opposed to two).
Below are the dates for the preliminary voting and the final voting. Enjoy!
Preliminaries
Tuesday 12/7 to Saturday 12/11 9pm
Vote for any three wines in both categories from those wines nominated (2010 Wine of the Year and 2011 Wine to Watch).

Chris Sparkman of Sparkman Cellars is a man with his priorities well defined. “First is family. Second is quality of life. Third is making damn good wines,” Sparkman says.
Sparkman Cellars is located in the Warehouse District in Woodinville (NB: The winery is also opening a tasting room next to Purple Café and Wine Bar in the Schoolhouse district later this month). The winery was started in 2004.
Chris Sparkman – Sparky as he is known to his friends and many avid followers – was born in Nashville, Tennessee with an accent to prove it. Sparkman started out as an academic, working on an endangered species program. With his trademark sense of humor, Sparkman says that this work, “confirmed that I’m not a G-man.”

Barnard Griffin is one of Washington State’s value standard bearers. The winery makes a wide variety of wines in the value range. These wines are consistently well made with some reaching considerably higher. The 2009 Rosé of Sangiovese is one of the more pleasing rosés you will find from Washington. The wine is fresh and crisp with mouthwatering acidity. While it may not reach the heights of the great French rosés, the price point is more reminiscent of these wines than most of what is seen in the state.

Although six wines is a reasonably good showing, low production of many of the most highly rated wines made it considerably less likely that these wines would appear in Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 list, despite Washington's overall fair prices and great scores. In fact, low availability is somewhat problematic for the industry more generally, making it difficult to get many of Washington's best wines wines to interested consumers.

Thanksgiving pairings can be somewhat challenging given the variety of different dishes on the table. However, this makes for a good reason to get an assortment of wines (this can help with the relatives also).

In October of 2009, I wrote about the opening of a Washington wine-dedicated retailer called Full Pull Wines. The business model was unique. Hand pick high quality, hard to find Washington wines and offer the wines, along with an engaging story, to an e-mail distribution list (read my original post about Full Pull here).
One year later, Full Pull Wines is still going strong (and continually taking a bite out of my wallet). Full Pull's Paul Zitarelli has shown a knack for identifying exceptional wines across a range of styles and price points and conveying stories that bring the bottles to life.
