Reviews from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate July/August 2008

2005 Ross Andrew Winery, Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon   91 Points
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon contains 4% Merlot with the fruit sourced from three top-notch vineyards. Deep crimson-colored, it offers up aromas of cedar, tobacco, red and black currants, and black cherry. Full-bodied, ripe, and structured on the palate, it has excellent depth of flavor and outstanding concentration. Give it 2-3 years in the cellar and drink it from 2012 to 2020.

2007 Ross Andrew Winery Celilo Vineyard, Columbia Gorge AVA   91 Points
The 2007 Pinot Gris Celilo Vineyard, from a superb terroir for white wine grapes, is medium straw-colored with aromas of apricots, tangerine, spring flowers, and mineral. On the palate, it is crisp, refreshing, vibrant, and balanced. Dry, mouth-filling, and long, there are a great many Alsace wineries that would be proud to turn out a Pinot Gris of this quality.

2007 Ross Andrew Winery MEADOW, Oregon White Wine  90 Points
The 2007 Meadow is an intriguing blend of 49% Pinot Blanc, 25% Gewurztraminer, 13% Riesling, and 13% Pinot Gris sourced from Oregon’s Willamette and Rogue Valleys. Medium straw-colored, it has an enticing bouquet of mineral, spice box, floral notes, melon, and tropical fruits. Complex, ripe, and lively, it is an ideal aperitif wine reminiscent of the village blends produced by Marcel Deiss in Alsace.

2006 Ross Andrew Winery Boushey Vineyard Syrah, Columbia Valley 91 Points
The 2006 Syrah Boushey Vineyard is a blend of three clones from this renowned terroir. Dark ruby/purple, it offers up a smoky, spicy nose featuring notes of meat, bacon, and blueberry. Layered and ripe on the palate with gobs of spicy, sleek blue and black fruits, this tasty, balanced wine will evolve for 2-3 years and be at its best from 2010 to 2017. **Release Date: Fall 2008**

2005 Ross Andrew Winery Red Table Wine Columbia Valley 89 Points
The 2005 Red Table Wine, a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot sourced from three premier vineyards. Smoky, forward, ripe, and sweetly-fruited, the wine has layers of flavor, good balance, and a mediumlong finish. Drink this pleasing effort over the next 4-5 years.
