Jones of Washington 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $15
Honeysuckle scents and ripe, fresh fruit flavors run from grapefruit on into tropical. This was fermented in Hungarian puncheons, picking up just a hint of toast along the way. Clean and quite delicious.

Jones of Washington 2011 Estate Vineyards Pinot Gris (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $12
This is the best Pinot Gris yet from Jones; the grapes were sourced from the 2 Gun Vineyard in the upcoming Ancient Lakes region—a future American Viticultural Area. Leesy and creamy, it seduces with a layer of rich cream wrapped around bright orange and semitropical fruit flavors. It’s full and fresh, and it lingers.

- Editors' Choice
- $17
Well-crafted, and built upon solid, ripe, estate-grown fruit. Juicy stone fruits are lightly wrapped in buttery oak, filling the mouth and holding firm and balanced through a lingering and very pleasant finish.

Jones of Washington 2011 Estate Vineyards Viognier (Wahluke Slope)
- Best Buy

A candied citrus flavor marks this fresh, bracing, barrel-fermented Viognier from the estate vineyards. Despite low alcohol and a hint of sweetness, it retains a crisp minerality, with a finishing lick of lime rind.

Jones of Washington 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $15
This well-made, pure Sauvignon Blanc seems to have a noticeable amount of residual sugar—not surprising in a high acid vintage such as 2011. Zesty, lightly grassy, spicy and stylish, it’s fresh and rich on the palate, with a finishing streak of minerality.

Jones of Washington 2009 Pinot Gris (Columbia Valley (WA))
- Best Buy
- $12
The alcohol is listed at just 12.3%, with residual sugar under 1%, but noticeable. The overall balance is excellent, with a fruit-forward appeal built upon clean, crisp layers of citrus and stone fruits. What surprises is the persistence; the score reflects both the breadth and length of this wine.

Jones of Washington 2010 Viognier (Wahluke Slope)
- $17
Good fruit from the expansive estate vineyards is the story here. The wine is solid, straight-ahead, with plenty of citrus and melon and peach-powered flavor. Big and round and tasty, with a lick of toast in the back of the throat.
