    I agree with Mitzie!  I was impressed with this little winery.
    I found they had really great wines at a nice price point!  My favorite was their Syrah, which had a lot of rich, ripe fruit flavors - very smooth with a nice mouth feel - medium to full bodied.

    I did not go during the case sale, so I paid $17/bottle - but I still felt like I got a fantastic deal!

    The folks over there are very nice and took great care of us, we look forward to going back soon!

    The lineup can be a hit and miss, but some decent wines.  If you can let them rest for a few years, it's much better.  Excellent price points for some good weekday wine.  Very small tasting room, but a good staff, and fun atmosphere.

    In April 2011, I tasted:

    - 2009 Barbera [$23]
    I really liked this wine
    think cherries and raspberries and oak
    complex at this price point
    pairs nicely with salmon

    - 2010 Late Harvest Roussanne [not yet released]
    one word: yum
    smell the lemon
    and dried apricots
    forget desserts - this is dessert

    I tasted the following wines in March 2011

    - 2010 Chardonnay [$20]:
    beautiful and creamy
    apples and pear
    oak on the midpalate
    nice acidity

    - 2010 Rose [$15]:
    sangiovese and tempranillo
    so its unusual
    it smells of strawberries but also bubble gum
    a long finish

    - 2008 Forbidden Red [$21]:
    touriga, cab and primitivo grapes
    lovely and bright fruit - raspberry
    not hard to like

    - 2007 Syrah [$25]:
    this is all about dark fruit
    luscious mouthfeel
    the tannins are bold
    long clean finish

    - 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon [$32]:
    grapes from 3 locations
    i smelled baking spices
    the finish is a bit harsh
    it should benefit from cellaring

    The weeks leading up to the St. Nicholas day open house out in the "Woodinville Wine Country" I received 8 bottle of wine shipped to me from my wine clubs in Sonoma, CA.  I told myself I wasn't allowed to buy any wine during the event just taste, than I had to add a caveat that if it was yummy and within a certain price range I could buy something...

    Well I tasted and tasted and tasted some more.  When I walked into the tasting room for the Washington Wine Company I wasn't too sure about the place.  Than I read the names of the wine and though I LOVE them, than frowned because 9 times out of 10 when a wine has a cute label or cool name the wine itself sucks.  But I was a trouper and purged ahead, first off was the '03 Forbidden Red, love the name; it was nice but nothing that made me want more.  Next was the '04 Forbidden Red and this was better like the '03 its a blend but a different blend the '04 is '04 50% Cab, 30% Syrah, 20% Merlot and is a full-bodied wine layered with gobs of cassis, berry, cocoa and toasty flavors that linger enticingly on the extended finish, stolen from their notes.  I was happy so I moved on to the last tasting the Big F'n Syrah!  I loved, loved, loved the name all weekend I was saying how I wanted a Big Syrah and now I had my chance to really taste one.  The Big F'n Syrah is 84% Syrah, 16% Cab. Aged 32 months in oak, this Syrah is led by black fruits, spices and chocolate notes followed by balance acid and toasty vanilla flavors. It is a great balance of fruit, oak and integrated tannin. Smooth, sexy and silky, a real crowd pleaser, again taken from their notes and their notes don't like it was a real crowd pleaser with me.

    Needless to say my wino partner and I decided to split a mixed case of the '04 Forbidden Red and the Big F'n Syrah, I mean how could we pass it up when they were offering a 20% on cases for the event and the wine came out to less than $14 a bottle.

    As you can see I'm all set for a wine party!
