PACIFIC NORTHWEST
WINE OF THE WEEK - 2000 Sauvignon Blanc, Klipsun
Vineyard ,
Wine Press Northwest
- January 2002
Rated "Highly
Recommended" - 2000 Sauvignon Blanc, Klipsun
Vineyard ,
Columbia Valley.
Aromas of herb,
cardamom, and vanilla. Round flavors of ripe melon fruit
and faint spice. Juicy, with a long, persistent fruit
finish. Serve with a leek and goat cheese tart.
Good value.
Northwest Palate - November/December 2001
Rated "90"
& "BEST BUY" - 1999 Sauvignon Blanc, Klipsun
Vineyard ,
Future vintages
of this wine will bear the new Red Mountain appellation, for
that is where Klipsun is located. Waterbrook does the
grapes proud: This is a juicy ripe white wine bursting
with scents and flavors of fresh fruits, cut grass, light
spice and even some toasted coconut in the extended finish.
Wine Enthusiast - June 2001
Rated "Highly
Recommended" - 1999 Sauvignon Blanc, Klipsun
Vineyard ,
Columbia Valley.
Straw color.
Herbaceous style with a straw/hay aroma. 10% Semillon
gives the palate good weight and a long finish, with ample
herb flavors. Pair with onion tart or vegetarian pizza.
