Goose Ridge 2005 Viognier (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $25

Thick and fleshy, with ripe flavors of fig, pear and baked apple, with exceptional balance for its weight. The spice is lightly sensed, as is the toasty influence of the barrel fermentation. It’s a complex, creamy take on Viognier, and clearly the best wine this winery makes. — P.G. (3/1/2007)

Goose Ridge 2008 Merlot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $30

This excellent estate-grown Merlot is a standout in the current Goose Ridge lineup. A scent of violet introduces a dark and potent wine. Plum and black cherry are enhanced by streaks of rock and tar. The tannins are supple and substantial. — P.G. (12/31/2012)

Goose Ridge 2000 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $26

A silky, satiny Syrah that seduces with its vivid, powerful fruit and pleasing oak. The entry is soft and sweet, and the wine opens up to fill the palate with juicy ripe fruit leading into flavors of toasted coconut and milk chocolate. — P.G. (1/1/2004)

Goose Ridge 2003 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $27

This racy Cabernet is full of tart red fruits; its flavors are forward and lightly spicy. The wine seems to have been acidified, perhaps to provide some lift. It is a nicely focused effort; I like the way it gathers itself and holds that focus through a smooth, seamless, long finish. — P.G. (6/1/2006)

Goose Ridge 2007 Sol Duc Meritage (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $50

Two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, this Bordeaux blend is the best bottle from Goose Ridge. The fruit is sappy and strong, with rich, ripe berry and cassis flavors. Tannins are firm and lightly spiced with fresh herb. The wine has depth and bite, the potential to age over the next half decade or more, but it’s drinking well right now. — P.G. (11/1/2011)

Goose Ridge 2008 Sol Duc Goose Ridge Estate Vineyard Meritage (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $50

Fruity, spicy and brightly acidic, the Sol Duc represents the estate’s best barrels. It’s a generous wine, full bodied and lush, with cherry and cassis flavors. Light touches of leaf and herb come through as well. — P.G. (12/31/2012)

points

Goose Ridge 2008 Estate Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $18

Inviting, fresh, racy scents mix pineapple, citrus and light tropical fruits. There is an interesting mouthfeel not unlike Sémillon, though none is indicated in the blend. The wine has substantial length and unusual highlights of spice, clove and mint, along with plenty of rich, ripe fruit to hold down the center palate. Not shy at 14.8% alcohol, this is a fine… — P.G.

Goose Ridge 2004 Reserve Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $40

Dark purple-black, dense and spicy, this sports some bright, tart fruit flavors of plum and citrus. It’s a bracing wine that needs food or time to show what kind of depth is there. Right now it’s all about saturated primary fruits. — P.G. (6/1/2006)
