This was our first visit to the winery. We showed up at noon to beat the concert and large amounts of people. We walked in at the top. Sample all of the wines. The dry whites were good. Sweet Diamond and dry Riesling from Washington. The wine waitress should have said do the diamond last since it's sweet.
We started to try the reds. The Merlot tasted like a traditional Merlot. Noiret was good. Old Vine Zinfandel was super dry and wasn't a fan of it. The Marquette is a wine that I do not sample often . It was fabulous. Aged in bourbon barrels for two years. She asked if I like bourbon and said yes. She said you will like this. She was right . Dry but a good taste towards the end.
My two things that I dislike. The white wine isn't chilled. They provide you ice if you prefer. Ice waters up the wine and takes the taste away. The Marquette I purchased a bottle if and it's great. But it's $38 a bottle and around here that doesn't fly.
Overall great place. I look forward to visiting in the upcoming months. read more
