All three Snoqualmie wine presented merit recommendations. – Dr. Jay Miller, Wine Advocate, July 2007 “Joy Andersen, Snoqualmie Vineyards’ winemaker, continues to impress with the quality she delivers for a song.” – Pierre Rovani, The Wine Advocate, April 2006 90 points – 2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon: It reveals aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, spice box, and black currants which jump from the glass. This is followed by a full-bodied Cabernet packed with ripe black fruits and a firm structure....good balance, concentration, and length. 88 points – 2003 Reserve Merlot: It delivers a toasty, cassis, plum, and black cherry bouquet leading to a full-bodied Merlot crammed with spicy red and black currant fruit, light tannin, and a firm, long finish. 86 points – 2006 Naked Chardonnay: Medium straw-colored, it offers up an attractive perfume of apple, pear, and a hint of tropical fruits. Medium-bodied with a supple texture, the wine has plenty of ripe fruit, good acidity, and a clean, fruity finish. It is an excellent value. 87 points – 2004 Sauvignon Blanc Columbia Valley: A stunning value . . . reveals aromas as well as flavors of honeydew melon. Medium-bodied and well-balanced, it has appealing depth of fruit, richness, and texture. What more can you ask for at this price? 86 points – 2004 Riesling Winemaker’s Select: A delightful quaffing wine. This terrific value burst from the glass with sweet linden tea aromas. Off-dry and expressive, it offers a mouthful of herbal tea as well as a hint of tangerine blossoms.
