Winemaker Notes
Sauvignon Blanc in particular is a wine that is best styled in the vineyard, and Columbia Crest winemaker Doug Gore works with the vineyard team to play up fruit and downplay herbaciousness without loosing it altogether. The 1998 Sauvignon Blanc has a subtle herbal note and a touch of flint that is complemented nicely by wildflower, honey and ripe melon. A small portion of the wine was barrel aged for roundness and complexity without sacrificing the wines crisp acidity. Fifteen percent Semillon contributes depth and complexity.

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.
