&nbsp;I am getting the shivers just thinking about it. &nbsp;Needless to say, this wine is also quite excellent solo. &nbsp;Do not miss out on a chance to try this superb Washington Albarino... &nbsp;If not now at least on the fourth Thursday of November. &nbsp;90 Points. &nbsp;(Remember, do not drink this one too cold... you will lose a lot of the magic!)</p> <p>Courtesy of&nbsp;Brazenly Lucid Wines - HOT PICKS</p> Tue, 25 May 2010 10:41:00 -0700 http://www.coyotecanyonwinery.com/article.src?ID=29 <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">#29</span><br />2006 Coyote Canyon Tres Cruces Horse Heaven Hills...$$17.99</p> <p>Mike Andrews has a tremendous talent as a wine maker and this is the first of three of his wines that make it in my top wines for 2009. &nbsp;Very reasonably priced, this blend shows a tremendous balance of fruit and acidity. &nbsp;Slightly herbaceous on the nose with hints of oak and brambleberry. &nbsp;Sweet tannins on the palate very silky with notes of dark plums, pomegranate and dark cherries. &nbsp;The finish leaves you thinking about what flavors you just experienced.</p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">#12</span><br />2004 Coyote Canyon Sangiovese...$$14.00</p> <p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an absolute gem for a mere fourteen bucks. &nbsp;I am a big fan of this winery and you will be too once you get your hands on a few of their wines. &nbsp;This sangiovese is very intriguing and complex. &nbsp;A wonderful nose of blueberries and anise this wine fills your palate with flavors of raspberries and blueberries stirred with black licorice. &nbsp;The fruit is driven by a nice balance of acidity that makes the flavors expand and intensify into a long and pleasing finish. &nbsp;This wine has a lot of life left in it and can be enjoyed over the next 3 to 5 years. &nbsp;If you haven't tried a sangiovese from Washington State, this would be an excellent place to start. &nbsp;Coyote Canyon is situated in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA and many award winning wines have sourced their fruit from Mike Andrew's vineyards.</span></span></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;">#1</span><br />2007 Coyote Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills...$$17.99</p> <p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are not in the Coyote Canyon Wine Club, I would encourage you to become a member a.s.a.p. so that you can get your hands on some of this cab before it is all gone. &nbsp;Mike Andrews has hit a home run with this baby using fruit from his stellar vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. &nbsp; A very classic cab that is silky and seductive. &nbsp;On the nose you get soft cedar, black raspberry and anise notes with maybe slight whiffs of blueberry. &nbsp;When it hits your palate you know right away that you are in for a treat! &nbsp;Round yet structured in the mouth with black fruit, dark cherries, raspberry, blueberries and hints of anise that expand in the mid-palate and melt seamlessly into a silky smooth long, long finish with hints of old world leather on the back end. &nbsp;This wine is like a favorite song that you love to hear over and over again and you play the lyrics in your mind as the day goes on. &nbsp;You will remember this one and you will get excited when you are getting ready to uncork yet another bottle. &nbsp;The price on this wine is ridiculous considering the quality of the juice, so snap up as much as you can in October before it is all gone.</span></span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Courtesy of Brazenly Lucid Wines - Stan's Top 40 under $$20 in 2009<br /><br /></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></p> Tue, 25 May 2010 10:15:00 -0700 http://www.coyotecanyonwinery.com/article.src?ID=27 <p> <object width="480" height="270"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xaby1b" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="270" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video/xaby1b" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed> </object> <br /><strong><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xaby1b_coyote-canyon-winery-2009-seattle-w_shortfilms">Coyote Canyon Winery, 2009 Seattle Wine Awards, Washington</a></strong><br /><em>Uploaded by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/wineawards">wineawards</a>. - <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/us/channel/shortfilms">Full seasons and entire episodes online.</a></em></p> Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:24:00 -0700
