Outstanding!

We think our wine is pretty great. But what makes it even greater is when we hear from our customers and wine reviewers that they actually are great! Even better than great, we received an "outstanding" rating from Wine Press Northwest for our 2014 Angelica. We love this wine because it's so unique and unlike any other wine we make. It's a white port-style dessert wine that was aged in barrels for 4 years. This wine is rich, sweet, and tastes like ripe pears and honey. Try it with some blue cheese and you'll think you've died and gone to heaven.

Here is what Wine Press Northwest had to say about it:

“Puget Sound producer Matt Albee devoted this seven-barrel lot of Pinot Gris to four years in neutral oak, and the experiment came out on the other side as a rather remarkable take on California’s historic template of white fortified wines by the early Franciscan missionaries. Aromas of caramel, toffee and Spanish flan transition to early flavors akin to a cream sherry and lemon. That tangy and citrusy profile balances the residual sugar (11%) and the midpalate of maple syrup and caramel. There’s ground nutmeg and the alcohol pokes out in the finish, but not enough to distract from the lemony theme. Enjoy it with poached pears, mild blue cheese or a slice of pumpkin pie. (175 cases, 18% alc.)”
