Winemaker Notes

Vintage 1999 likely will be remembered as one of the more unusual and celebrated vintages of the past decade. Mild winter temperatures preceded a typical mid-March bud break. An atypical cool, cloudy weather pattern held from mid-April through July resulting in lighter fruit set and lower grape cluster weights. By mid-August temperatures warmed and a pattern of warm, cloud free days continued through October. The disparity between daytime and nighttime temperatures during this time-as much as 40 ° F-delayed harvest by a couple of weeks. When fruit arrived at the winery, it was intensely flavored with abundant sugar and moderate balancing acidity.

Pineapple and layers of butterscotch, cinnamon and nutmeg are expressed in the nose. Clean and spicy on the palate, this medium-bodied wines lingering aftertaste makes this a wine to savor.

Founded in 1982, Columbia Crest was the very first winery in the famed Horse Heaven Hills AVA in eastern Washington state. Since then, the unwavering passion for crafting wines of outstanding quality has earned more 90+ Point bottles than any other U.S. winery from Wine Spectator. The legacy is built with every harvest, honoring the rich heritage of Washington wine in every bottle.

Aptly named after the highest peak on Mount Rainier, Columbia Crest represents the pinnacle of Washington State wine. From the vineyard to the glass, Columbia Crest wines are an extraordinary expression of craftsmanship, delivering a steadfast promise with each bottle – world-class wines from a world-class wine region.
