From Columbia Crest Two Vines...
Blessed with vineyards that enjoy the right combination of soil, geography and climate, we make these fruit-forward, approachable wines in a style that is ready to drink now, yet with so much essential character that you may want to hold them a year or two before pulling the cork. Critics have repeatedly praised these wines for their value and high quality.

Vineyard 10 2006 White Wine
A fruit-forward white wine made predominantly of Washington state Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.  Showcases floral aromas with apple, pear and melon flavors.

Vineyard 10 2007 Rosé Wine
Aromas of light red fruits, including fresh cherries, strawberries and a hint of watermelon open this Rosé. On the palate, lively acidity accentuates the bright flavors of berries and cherries and lead into a crisp and refreshing finish

Vineyard 10 2005 Red Wine
This vibrant red wine is a blend predominantly of Washington state Syrah, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Aromas of strawberry and spice, with ripe plum and blackberry flavors.
