12_Riesling_Front_COLAOur 2012 Riesling is made from the noble White Riesling grape solely from the Dionysus Vineyard grown in the Columbia Valley. Hand-picked and hand-sorted, this wine shows bright pineapple, lemon and honey characters that unfold on the palate as peach and almond. This wine is finished slightly sweet to balance the bright acidity and to create a long and supple finish. To protect and enhance the delicate fruit aromas and flavors, this wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel. As well, this wine did not go through malolactic fermentation.

Arbor Crest is pleased to present our first Barbera from the Sagemoor Vineyard.  Barbera is an Italian varietal that produces good yields and is known for its deep color, low tannins and high levels of acid.  As a varietal wine, Barbera creates a rather intense wine with a deep red color that is full of rich cherry, blueberry and raspberry.

Our 2011 Sauvignon Blanc is produced solely with grapes from the Bacchus Vineyard in the Columbia Valley. The deep sandy soils and mature vines allow the grapes to yield polished flavors that are fresh and lively with enticing grapefruit, pineapple and spicy characters that unfold nicely on the smooth finish. To preserve the varietal qualities of Sauvignon Blanc, this wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation or spend time in oak. It is Arbor Crest’s time honored tradition of producing this exceptional Sauvignon Blanc.

Arbor Crest is pleased to present this highly acclaimed wine, Dionysus, a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. This distinct wine was given the name “Dionysus” to complement the exceptional Dionysus vineyard and to acknowledge the mythological Greek God of Wine. Dionysus is a fun wine to craft because it is a wine that is created from only the best vineyards in only the best vintages. The creation of Dionysus is where art presides over science – the true art of blending. This full-bodied wine is aged in French oak for 32 months. The alluring aroma of maple sugar, cedar and black raspberry unfold on the palate as plum, nutmeg and black cherry ~ thoroughly seductive. This wine will age gracefully for 10-12 years.

Arbor Crest’s Syrah is an exciting wine that is full-bodied as well as rich and velvety. The grapes from both vineyards were hand-picked and hand-sorted with yields kept low, to produce a wine with concentrated black cherry and blueberry nuances. The combination of these two vineyards produces a complex and enticing blend. Balanced by a fine acidity and tannin structure, the toasty spices from new French oak add hints of nutmeg, clove and licorice. We are proud to present this Syrah to you!
