2004 !Exclamation
Point
90 Points in Wine Lovers Page (Feb. 07). A 60/40 blend of Cabernet
Franc and Merlot.
Lovely floral notes combine with red cherries and
berries on the nose and palate. The balance is faultless; the tannins
are
easy on the palate. This value wine is easy to drink now.
Dayton
(Ohio) Daily News, Feb. 07. The 2004 Windy Point Vineyards !Exclamation
Point blends 60 percent Cabernet Franc and 40 percent Merlot that
combines the best of both worlds: old world structure with new world
fruit. It's a youthful, deep wine that improves in the glass, suggesting
a bring future in the bottle.
2004 Estate Syrah
87 Points in Wine
Lovers Page (Feb. 07). Smoked meat, berries and generous American
oak highlight the aroma profile. The oak is less obvious on the palate,
which is defined by a nice mix of black fruits.
Dayton (Ohio)
Daily News, Feb. 07. The winery's 2004 Syrah is a shining example
of what the syrah grape can achieve in the Pacific Northwest. It combines
the depth of raspberry fruit that hot-climate Syrah have with the
racy, refreshing acidity of Syrah from the northern Rhone. And it's
a wine both an experienced wine enthusiast and someone who is just
beginning to like red wines could enjoy together.
2004 Reserve
Cabernet Franc
86+ Points in Wine Lovers Page (Feb. 07). The wine is
restrained at this point, but the nose does display mixed red fruits,
herbs and cedar. Crisp, with moderate tannins, you'll fine red fruit
and generous vanilla flavors.
