2007 Buty Columbia Valley White Bordeaux Blend

SKU #1577745 94 points Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark Spicy and detailed, layered with sweet grass and lemon meringue. Shows wonderful dry extract, dense and complex, with terrific midpalate concentration and exceptional length and viscosity. Focused and fragrant, it goes into the deep, bold flavors of the best Washington Sémillon. Inner quote mark

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The white wines begin with the 2007 Semillon (70%)-Sauvignon (26%) with an additional 4% Muscadelle. The Semillon was barrel-fermented, the Sauvignon tank fermented. Medium straw-colored, it exhibits a fragrant nose of citrus, melon, honey, and mineral. On the palate some tropical flavors make an appearance along with baking spices and herb notes. Very intense, creamy-textured and long. Inner quote mark

90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Outer quote mark Pale straw-yellow. High-pitched aromas of grapefruit, lemon and flowers, with musky and resiny nuances adding complexity. Concentrated and tactile, with very good cut to the intense lemon and floral flavors. This has real backbone and chewy persistence. The warm weather in April and May were the original source of the smaller berry size in 2007, noted Caleb Foster, while a heat wave in late June helped to keep the clusters and berries small and gave the wines strong extract owing to the high skin-to-juice ratio.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

Washington

- Washington has become one of the most important wine producing states in the United States, and development continues to grow rapidly. In 1969, when California was exploding as a wine producer, Washington had only two wineries, but by 2000 that number had passed 100. Most of Washington's grape crop goes to uses other than wine. Merlot and Chardonnay have been the most successful in Washington. It's interesting to note that Washington's prime wine regions are located at 46° north, along the same latitude as the legendary French wine districts of Bordeaux and Burgundy. During the summer, Washington averages more than two hours more sunlight each day compared to California.
