Extraordinary Reserve Wines

2003 Walter Clore Receives 93 points from Wine Advocate!

To give our Columbia Crest Reserve wines the hands-on, special care you would expect from a boutique winery, we’ve established separate areas where we use artisan techniques for fermentation and barrel aging. This select group of super-premium Washington wines can be consumed now, but we suggest that you hold onto your favorites and allow them to develop in the bottle. They will reward your patience with rich flavors, velvety textures, and long finishes—and prove just how extraordinary Columbia Valley wines can be.

90 pts Wine Spectator
This Reserve Syrah, crafted in a Cote Rotie style, boasts generous Syrah aromatics of white pepper, cocoa and blueberry, with hints of Viognier’s subtly sweet orange peel, pear and rose petal. Spice and earthy overtones, hallmarks of the Horse Heaven Hills terroir, are followed by mouth-filling flavors of dark chocolate, cocoa, and roasted coffee bean and a seductive blueberry-raspberry finish

2004 Walter Clore Private Reserve Red Table Wine

washington wines by Columbia Crest winery

Walter Clore is known as the “Father of the Washington’s Wine Industry.” In honor of his viticultural research and contribution to our success, we’ve named this special wine after him. A classic Bordeaux-style winemaking protocol enhances the aromatics of earth, coconut, blackberry, and slight mint in this red blend. Fruit and oak are perfectly balanced to yield a very complex chocolate-cherry-blackberry lingering finish. This is a soft yet powerful, complex wine.
