2002 Columbia Rediviva 61% cabernet sauvignon & 29% syrah columbia valley Rediviva is the volumetric centerpiece of Buty. It is an exciting and exotic blend from Washington State comprised of two classic varietals. Buty is the first Washington winery to focus on blends of cabernet sauvignon and syrah as deluxe wines. We are pleased others are following our lead. Columbia Rediviva is comprised of Champoux and Cailloux Vineyard cabernet sauvignon and Boushey Vineyard syrah. Planted in 1997 in silt-loam soils, the Champoux Vineyard cabernet sauvignon lies above the Columbia River along side Phinny Hill. 1997 plantings of cabernet sauvignon from Cailloux Vineyard are entirely grown in the ancestral cobble- filled riverbed of the Walla Walla River in the southern Walla Walla Valley appellation. Sand-loam dominated soils underlie plantings from 1999 of Phelps clone syrah at Boushey Vineyard. Harvested by hand on October 10th, the Champoux Vineyard cabernet sauvignon was physiologically ripe. The Cailloux cabernet sauvignon was harvested on the 14th at 24.0°brix. The syrah was harvested on October 15th. The cabernet sauvignon was fermented on skins for twelve days, and the syrah for fourteen days. Aged in 50% new barrels, the remainder in maturing wood, we blended, filtered, and bottled in the second year on September 4, 2004. The nose opens with cinnamon, ginger, brown sugar and sweet fruits. Exotic flavors of blended fruits fill the palate and follow through the long finish. The naturally firm acids are clean and connect with smooth tannins. While it is quite approachable now, we are confident th is wine will have quite a long life in your cellar. Columbia Rediviva is the name of the ship Captain Robert Gray sailed up the river that now bears her name in 1792, while searching for the elusive Northwest Passage. As the river that connects all of the vineyards we work with at Buty, the Columbia is a lifeline we honor as the namesake of our Columbia Rediviva wine. Four hundred and eight cases were bottled. Columbia Rediviva was released September 1, 2005. 535 E Cessna, Walla Walla, WA 99362 | t 509.527.0901 | f 509.527.0882 | e [email protected] | w butywinery.com .

WSU Wants Wine Industry to Know It Can Help by Mai Hoang Maihoang
WSU Wants Wine Industry to Know it Can Help By Mai Hoang [email protected] Mar 5, 2016 PROSSER — As wine grape buds start to bloom during the early spring, many growers prepare wind machines to battle overnight frost. But operating those machines drives up fuel and power costs. So Washington State University researchers spent several years measuring the cold hardiness of wine and Concord grapes. That research provided a model that can help growers determine precisely when to implement frost-prevention measures. Markus Keller, a WSU viticulture professor, and others involved in the research often get calls from people in other wine regions wondering if the model could be replicated. But he said it’s not unusual to hear from Valley growers who are unaware of the research. “There is some kind of disconnect,” said Keller, who has worked at WSU’s Irrigated Agriculture Research & Extension Center in Prosser since 2001. “How do we tell that story so everyone is aware of it?” Keller hopes a new Washington Wine Commission initiative will improve awareness of viticulture and enology research and how it can improve wine grape growing and wine production. “We are doing all this stuff and not a lot of people know about it,” said commission President Steve Warner. Communication challenges Past attempts to bring research to those in the wine industry have been fractured. Legislation in the 1980s, which established a liter tax on wine sales to fund research, also created a group of winery owners and grape growers who were to determine industry research priorities. Dick Boushey, a longtime grape grower and owner of Boushey Vineyard near Grandview, admits the group, which he was part of, never was able to fully communicate with industry stakeholders.

2015 K Motor City Kitty Syrah
2015 K Motor City Kitty Syrah With all the depth and richness you’ve come to expect from this single vineyard bottling - black cherry, earth, roasted meat, even charcoal abounds add dried herb. A thread of minerality and it all comes together in an exact and generous expression that speaks volumes as to why Washington Syrah is great! Current & Past Scores Blend 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck “The 2015 Syrah Motor City Kitty Old Field Boushey Vineyard comes all from this site 100% Syrah (planted by Brennon and Dick Boushey in 2007) in 2015 and will come from this site going forward. The site is 8 acres consisting of Phelps, 383, 174 clones that are all co-fermented in concrete uprights. It offers crazy notes of smoke tobacco, charcoal, Appellation ripe black cherries, currants, and pepper. With medium to full-bodied richness, a lively, Washington State pure, pretty style on the palate, and fine tannin, it should put on weight with 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for a decade.” Production 95 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (v2014) Yield: 3.0 tons per acre “Named after a cat owned by Charles when he was living in Walla Walla, the 2014 MCK Yeast: native Syrah sports a deep purple color as well as ripe, decadent notes of black fruits, plums, 49 days on skins graphite, crushed rock and licorice. Big, sexy, seamless and pure, with present, yet ripe 35% new French oak puncheons tannin, drink it through 2024.

Merlot's Big Makeover
dining guide > T A S T I N G N O T E S writers. “It was not only an opportunity veteran Merlot maker to taste some truly remarkable wines, Mike Januik but also to experience one of the most exciting regions in America,” says Brian Freedman, a Philadelphia-based writer and contributor to Mariani’s Virtual Gourmet Newsletter (johnmariani.com). Campers explored why Washington is ideal for growing this grape, with discus- sions led by Dr. Kevin Pogue, a geology professor at Whitman College and a viti- culture consultant. “In the late summer and fall, our temperatures drop off more rapidly than in California, because we’re at a higher latitude that is more similar to Bordeaux’s,” Pogue says. Winemaker Mike Januik has another theory: “[The grapes are] planted on the original root- stock, which gives them more character, more oomph.” Januik, who has been making Merlot for more than 20 years, first at Chateau Ste. Michelle and now at a winery that bears his name in Woodinville, said the quality of the fruit has increased dra- matically as the vines have gotten older. “The vines aren’t gangly like when they’re younger and they produce grapes that are well balanced, with a lot of structure,” he Merlot’s Big says. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve poured Merlot for somebody and have Makeover them say it tastes more like a Cab.” Back from the pits of wine irrelevance, Marty Clubb, from L’Ecole No 41 in Merlots are reclaiming their place in the wine Walla Walla, says Merlot is a winemaker’s dream, because it thrives in various ter- world—and Washington is producing some of roir.

Compass Wines
COMPASS WINES 1405 Commercial Avenue • Anacortes WA 98221 www.compasswines.com Happy New Year! Every year at this time, we here at Washington Wine Central, up in little ol’ Anacortes look back over the last year to reflect on the 10 Washington reds and 5 whites that blew us away. This is our own, extremely subjective, biased and politically incorrect assessment of what we have tasted over the last year. Unlike the other guys, we don’t do it blind, we don’t require wines to be submitted and we do wait until the whole year is over (seriously, a ‘wines of the year’ list that is written in August?). In fact, many of these wines are not even available for us to sell anymore, so blatant sales expectations are not part of the picture either. We pick those wines that really spoke to us, our customers and maybe they sold well, maybe they didn’t. There are a couple of ground rules: none of our own wines are allowed, i.e.; No BBQ or ded.reckoning or any other custom bottling done for us. We only will pick one wine per winery. But if there are multiple wines nominated by the staff, the winery is in the running for ‘Winery of the Year’. Two obvious choices that would probably be on this list every year have been grandfathered into the de-facto ‘Compass Wines Hall of Fame’ to make room for everybody else; Leonetti and Quilceda Creek, so they will not ever appear on here again, unless some monumental thing happens like the first 101 point wine or the first winery to get a perfect score on every wine they make.

WICKED Tasting Notes Saturday, November 24 - Mccrea Cellars
WICKED Tasting Notes Saturday, November 24 - McCrea Cellars McCrea Cellars was Washington State’s first winery entirely dedicated to Syrah and to Rhône varietal wines. In a region never before explored for this family of grapes, winemaker Doug McCrea dedicated nearly two decades seeking and establishing appropriate vineyard sites that would nurture Syrah and each Rhône varietal according to its individual requirements. The current releases from McCrea Cellars express the culmination of this effort, made possible only by the close relationship between McCrea and several of the State’s finest growers. Following are Doug McCrea’s tasting notes on the current releases. Join us in exploring the wines of this pioneer of Washington State wines! 2010 Grenache Blanc - $26.99 With only a few acres in production in the Northwest, this is truly a very exclusive wine. The vines are sourced from the famous Beaucastel vineyard in the Rhône, via Tablas Creek. This vintage is leaner, crisper and brighter than in the past, with green apples and pineapple predominating. The addition of some Marsanne helps balance the acidity and brings nice layers of fruit and minerals to the finished wine. It will complement foods where high acidity is desired, such as oysters on the half shell. 86% Grenache Blanc, 14% Marsanne 2010 Viognier - $26.99 In 1997 McCrea introduced Viognier to the Northwest. Based on the dozens of wineries that have followed suit, it has proven to be very well suited to Washington. This vintage they revisit the complexity that Roussanne brings to what’s now a Washington classic. The Viognier was fermented in stainless steel and finished in barrel, the Roussanne completely in neutral barrels.

IronIronIron GateGateGate ARTIST SERIES 2013 Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon 11% Merlot Alcohol: 14.4% abv TA: 6.38g/L pH: 3.75 Case Production: 217 cases Date Bottled: 5/13/15 Grape Source(s): Cabernet Sauvignon: Boushey Vineyard, Yakima Valley AVA, WA Merlot: Two Mountain Vineyard, Yakima Valley AVA, WA Aging: 18 months in 100% new French barrels from the Allier forest. Winemaker Notes: Our inspiration for this blend was the great wines of Bordeaux and, in particular, Chateau Margaux. While visiting France a few years ago, we made a joke of getting a photo in front of the imposing gates of Chateau Margaux which was as close as we could ever hope to get to that great winery. We contracted for some high-end Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Dick Boushey, one of the most respected grape growers in Washington state, and decided to purchase single forest barrels from the Allier forest in France to age it in. We then blended in just a touch of Merlot, as they do in Bordeaux, and voila, this bold, beautiful wine was born. Tasting Notes: This Artist Series wine is a harmonic fusion between old world inspiration and new world terroir with traditional flavors of black currant, cherry, and vanilla. This wine will age beautifully. A special thank you to artist Erin McGee Ferrell for capturing our winemaker's passion in her painting which became the wine's label.

2015 Delille Cellars Roussanne 92 Pts. (Entirely from Ciel Du Cheval): Pale, Bright Lemon-Yellow
Reviews by Stephen Tanzer for Vinous November 2016 DeLille Cellars Winemaker Chris Upchurch told me he’s never seen anything like the growing season of 2015. “It was very hot and very advanced, with physical maturity arriving very quickly,” he said. “We saw dark seeds in the middle of August, beginning with Sauvignon Blanc and Roussanne. The flavors were advancing as fast as the sugars, so the sugars were still fairly reasonable at harvest.” The poor spring had put a lid on the eventual yields and made for more concentrated fruit, he added. “In the end, the vintage wasn’t terribly extreme, just a couple weeks earlier than usual.” Most of the wines I tasted from DeLille this summer and in recent weeks were whites from ’15 and reds from ’13. The earlier vintage started off quite hot, noted Upchurch, but conditions cooled off nicely in September. Inciden- tally, although DeLille has expanded production of its white wines in recent years, mostly by getting more fruit from its top vineyard sources like Boushey, Klipsun and Sagemoor Bacchus, fully 80% of the winery’s production is red wine. Fans of this producer’s wines should note that the Doyenne name has disappeared as of the 2014 vintage, except for the wine previously labeled Aix, which henceforth will be called DeLille Cellars Doyenne. From Focus on Washington: Hot Times in the Desert (Nov 2016) by Stephen Tanzer 2015 DeLille Cellars Roussanne 92 pts. (Entirely from Ciel du Cheval): Pale, bright lemon-yellow. Compelling salty nose offers scents of lemon, honeysuckle, fig and marzipan.
