Carpenter Creek 2002 Sauvignon Blanc

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
Grassy and herbaceous style, showing light, lemony fruit and mouth-puckering acid.  — P.G.  (1/1/2004)

Carpenter Creek 2002 Chardonnay

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $14
Simple, tart, green apple fruit awkwardly married to hard, tannic oak. Nothing comes together; the fruit seems thin and the oak tags a bitter, woody finish onto it.  — P.G.  (1/1/2004)

Carpenter Creek 2002 Signature Series Syrah (Yakima Valley)

  1. $38
Clearly an ambitious effort, but one that’s raisiny and roasted, with pruny, burnt flavors and a healthy dose of astringency.  — W.E.  (9/1/2005)

Carpenter Creek 2002 Syrah

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $38
Already showing some signs of oxidation, which has softened but not integrated the flavors. This is a disjointed wine, tannic, spicy, with a sweet cracker flavor that falls off into an empty mid-palate before heading into very dry, very chalky tannins at the finish.  — P.G.  (11/15/2004)

Carpenter Creek 2002 Riesling

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $10
A distinct scent of garlic rises from the glass; not a good beginning. This is sugary sweet, awkward, and disjointed.  — P.G.  (1/1/2004)
