@Alice9736615000 @upchurchwine @RedMtnAVA @owenbargreen @nwwinereport @Wa_State_Wine They are all impressive for their variety, and I’d be happy with any of them. But those four Cabs, wow.

We tasted 7 amazing @upchurchwine wines on @RedMtnAVA - including the award-winning 2020 Hero Twins Cab Sauv (100 points), 2020 Upchurch Vineyard Cab Sauv (98), and 2020 LTL Heart of the Hill Cab Sauv (96). More: https://t.co/6ZGVeHtObb @owenbargreen @nwwinereport @Wa_State_Wine

We've been fans of @Beaucastel Côtes Du Rhône Reserve 2021 Rosé for years. This pretty wine is an intense yet delicate rosé, with aromas and flavors of flowers and red berries. The iconic Perrin family is a pioneer in organic farming since 1950. @Vineyard_Brands @vino_sphere

Superb winemaker Chris Peterson crafts impressive wines, which we've tasted for more than a decade. We visited @avenniawinery Red Mountain recently and tried nine excellent wines. Details of our visit: https://t.co/50260OodWs @MartyTaucher @RedMtnAVA @Wa_State_Wine @vino_sphere

2017 @zenatowinery Lugana Metodo Classico Brut Turbiana is creamy and rich, yet clean, zippy and zesty, with full flavors of pears, peaches, citrus notes and beautiful bubbles. Loved it! #luganalover @consorziolugana @ExplorWineGlass @dallaswinechick @vino_sphere @SustainableKW

We recently tasted three @ancwine wines: Adulting Sparkling White and Rosé (think summer parties) and 2022 Affinity Alabriño, which is crisp and fresh, with lower sugar and higher acidity. Details: https://t.co/OTb7b9vfi3 @Wa_State_Wine @Vino_Hawks @VinoSocialNancy @vino_sphere

We have a long history with Ali and Jarrod Boyle, owners of @ancwine and we didn't stop smiling when we saw them again recently at their Prosser TR. Details about the six stellar wines we tasted: https://t.co/OTb7b9vN7B

@VinoSocialNancy @TwoVintners @DecantedPodcast @luchavino @GrnLakeGirl @VWoodinville @WineWoodinville @Vino_Hawks @AuctionWAWines @Wa_State_Wine It's such a special wine, I'm waiting for a special occasion. It sounds wonderful - thanks for the notes! #wawine

@SophiaValintina @Wa_State_Wine @nwwinereport @owenbargreen @ExplorWineGlass @vino_sphere @WINESofWA The white label is for Sauvignon Blanc; the black labels are typically red wines.

Trothe Limited Red 2020 blends Cab Franc (67%) and Cab Sauv (33%), and had me at its killer nose. Gorgeous now, it will be epic after cellaring.

Trothe 2022 Sauv Blanc is stunning. Wine Advocate awarded it 96 points — the highest it has scored a @Wa_State_Wine white wine. A glass of summer, with citrus notes, clean minerality, crisp salinity and bright acidity. @dallaswinechick @VinoSocialNancy @WINESofWA @vino_sphere

[Margot Sinclair Savell @WriteforWine]

We visited with the dream team at the beautiful Trothe facilities and toured the vast Andrews Family Vineyards in the @HorseHvnHills in WA. What a compelling time. And the wine - sophisticated with finesse. More: https://t.co/PO0PHh6W8k @Wa_State_Wine @owenbargreen @nwwinereport

2017 @BarrageCellars Double Barrel is 100% Red Mountain Cab Sauv. So it features the AVA’s power and structure, with aromas and flavors of blackberries, dark plums, cherries, mocha and spice. What a beauty! Bring on the BBQ! @Wa_State_Wine @vino_sphere @WINESofWA @WineDivaLife

2017 @TheWallsWW Mahana shows the Rocks District savory characteristics of smoked meat, olive tapenade and subtle, suave funk. It was very popular last night at a dinner party we attended. WOTN! @Wa_State_Wine @WWValleyWine @VisitWallaWalla @vino_sphere @VinoSocialNancy
