The Piccola Cellars Wines

Pinot Gris

Varietal: Pinot Gris
AVA: Yakima Valley
Vintage: 2011
Bottled by: Piccola Cellars, Woodinville,WA
Vineyard: Otis Vineyards
Alcohol content: 13.3%
A 2011 from the famous Otis vineyard.  Loaded with layers of ripe peach and grapefruit. This chilled, golden delicacy is completely dry and makes a perfect aperitif on its own or paired with salumi and olives. 

Unoaked Chardonnay

Varietal: Chardonnay
AVA: Washington State
Vintage: 2011
Bottled by: Piccola Cellars, Woodinville,WA
Alcohol content: 13.3%
From the gentle slopes of Yakima Valley, this un-oaked Chardonnay benefited from a long hang time imparting great aromatics while keeping the structure intact. Light, golden straw in color, the nose offers honeydew melon, honeysuckle and lime. Beautifully bright and crisp, the melon evolves into a long, lingering citrus finish. Pairs well with grilled or sautéed seafood.

Riesling

Varietal: Riesling
AVA: Columbia Valley
Vintage: 2011
Bottled by: La Botte Piccola Wine Co.
Vineyard: Airfield Estates
Alcohol content: 11.5%
This beautiful wine is the perfect ambassador for Yakima Valley Rieslings and re-affirms their sterling reputation. The nose is so delightful you could almost linger on it with out tasting. Almost. The first impression is a blast of pineapple followed by a lovely peach. On the palate, the same burst of pineapple evolves into hints of lychee and mango. The residual sugars are nicely balanced with crisp acidity providing a wonderful Riesling experience. Great with chile-infused or other intensely spiced foods.

Bordeaux

AVA: Columbia Valley
Vintage: 2010
Winery: Piccola Cellars, Woodinville, WA
Vineyards/Region: Destiny Ridge in Horse Heaven Hills, Morrison in Rattlesnake Hills
Alcohol content: 13.5%
A Right Bank Bordeaux-style blend that presents as an easy drinking, fruit forward treat. Greets you with a warm bouquet of black cherries followed by nicely balanced tannins and a hint of vanilla. Great session wine or combine it with your favorite small bites.

Merlot

AVA: Wahluke Slope
Vintage: 2010
Winery: Piccola Cellars, Woodinville, WA
Alcohol content: 13.9%
A great example of a Wahluke Slope Merlot. Rich, black fruit flavors with an undercurrent of dark chocolate. The tannins are more pronounced than a California version – this is not a soft, velvet wine! Pair it with  Tri-tips and  blue cheese to experience it at its best. 

Rhone

Varietal: Mourvedre & Syrah
AVA: Columbia Valley
Vintage: NV
Winery: Piccola Cellars, Woodinville, WA
Alcohol content: 13.8%
Dark, aromatic and spicy.  Primarily Syrah and Mouvedre, it’s opaque in color with rich, black fruit aromas and hints of licorice and cedar. Wonderful with herb roasted meats or veggies.

Blanco Riesling from Ancient Lakes AVA

Varietal: Riesling
AVA:  Ancient Lakes AVA

“Blanco” meaning white represents the purity of the grape, this Riesling and its mineral backbone flagships the rich terroir of the Ancient Lakes. The rich tropical, citrus and stone fruits intermingle joyously on the palate. The weight of this wine is deceiving as it lingers and gently glides on the palate with style… Balance in a glass with class….  Salud

Varietal: 78% – Cabernet Sauv 22% Petit Verdot
AVA: Wahluke Slope
Vintage: 2010
Delicate Tones of gamy meats &- smokey cherry wood intermingle with ripe fruits. The firm bold mid-palate show-kegs not “show-cases” the unit terroir found in the Wahluke Slope AVA. The Long lingering finish dances on the palate with flavors of licorice, cloves and blackberries……. Salud
