Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Like many great European ice wines, this wine was crafted from grapes left hanging on the vine into the new calander year. As the temperature dropped to 9 degrees F on January 13 and the grapes froze, harvest commenced. Rock solid grapes were hand-picked and pressed. Because the sweet juice melts before the water component, we quickly discarded the remaining still-frozen material to avoid diluting the rick, succulent nectar. We hope you enjoy the resulting elixer of the gods!

The wine is a brilliant green hue with strong honeysuckle aromas. The nose gives way to intense honey, fig and sweet oak on the palate. This is a clean, intense wine that lingers lovingly on the palate. The wine's sweetness is balanced by its natural acidity and a subtle oak suppleness in the mouth. This wine is a dessert itself, or it will complement any cream-based confection. This is a wine that will cellar for enjoyment in the future.

Columbia Crest  Winery Video

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.
