Evergreen Family Wines

We recently tasted five from Evergreen Family Wines and all were quite good for their modest prices.  Their various labels were confusing to me though until I went to their website.  There I learned Evergreen is Washington's largest family-owned winery sitting on a 3,000 acre estate with vineyards in the Wahluka Slope and Ancient Lakes AVAs.

Previously known as Ryan Patrick Wines, Evergreen soon acquired Milbrandt Family Wines, Luke, Alki, Simply..., Rhodes, Evergreen, Caliche Estate and 1889.  Not necessarily in that order.  But you get the point - This is a sizable operation.  

At our tasting the best wine on the table by acclamation was the Caliche Albarino.  We thought the best red wine was the 1889 Red Blend and here's a tip for you - Red blends from Washington are usually exceptional for their grape composition, especially when one of the featured grapes is Washington's Syrah.

On a budget?  Try the Simply...Red Blend here in the store at this time.
