Over the past 25 years, we have grown to become an internationally recognized leader in Washington State winemaking.

#1 2009 Silver Lake Roza Riesling - 1 token

Highest Award: Double Gold – Seattle Wine Awards Creamy-Seeming scents of clover and honey are sweet and dessert-like. On the palate sweet honey and candied pineapple flavors are forward and lush. Accents of orange marmalade and a touch of spice give some complexity to the sweet and almost sugary core. Sufficient acidity keeps the wine from being cloying. While not complex or layered, it is an exemplary after-dinner sipper, with or without cheese.

 

#2 2008 Silver Lake Sauvignon Blanc - 1 token

Best Accolade: 2011 Best Buy – Wine Enthusiast A light, crisp and refreshing white wine with notable acidity, this wine evokes scents of grapefruit and green melon. Zesty flavors of citrus and tropical fruits are accented with a mild herbal finish. This is a very versatile food wine that can complement everything from shellfish and Caesar salad to fried chicken and aged Jarlsberg cheese.

 

#3 2007 Silver Lake Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - 1 token

Highest Award: Gold Medal – Sunshine and Wine Competition Medium bodied and smooth, this wine is easy drinking and is specially blended to pair with a range of foods while delivering nice complexity and richness. It's cherry red in color with cloves and candied cherries aromas. On the palate flavors of black cherry, chocolate and spice notes blend with silky tannins.
