#WusMcCvg08 Our eleventh vintage of Viognier

January 12th, 2010

Released 10/19/2009

www.mccreacellars.com

2008 McCrea Cellars Viognier

Appellation: Yakima Valley

This is our eleventh vintage of Viognier, a Rhône varietal McCrea introduced to the Northwest. It has proven to be very well suited to Washington. In past years we’ve typically added a small amount of Roussanne to the blend, but this year we took a new tack: the Marsanne and Picpoul contributed just the right balance for this bright, fresh, more Condrieu-like version of what’s now a Washington classic. The Viognier was fermented in stainless steel, the Marsanne & Picpoul in a neutral barrels.

2005 Pepper Bridge Merlot

November 10th, 2007

We’re thrilled to unveil our 2005 Merlot

We are releasing our 2005 Merlot on December 1. It is a lustrous, dark-ruby color with a lovely perfume of red and black currants, cream of cassis, toasted bread, pencil lead, Asian spices and wild berries. On the palate, it is a rich, layered, velvety-textured wine with complex flavors of spicy ripe black fruit, earth, and cedar. This wine has a great sense of place, beautifully balanced with a terrific, long finish.

Our winemaker, Jean-François Pellet, is very excited about the release of this wine. The 2005 vintage started off as a big challenge because the previous year had been a freeze year with a very small crop in our estate vineyards. However, 2005 made up for all the frustrations of 2004, with Mother Nature providing us with a stellar harvest, among the very best in the history of this winery.

As always, production is quite limited and we typically sell out soon after release. Please don’t miss out on this thrilling vintage — after all, we only made 1,400 cases.
