Hello from Marcus at Avalon Wine -
Beauties
from Buty—Spring
Releases and Small Quantities
For the past couple
years, I’ve looked
forward to early March. Why? Many
spring releases from some of my favorite Washington
producers. Buty is one of them.
The new
Buty red wines—the exceptional,
rare 2004
Rediviva of the Stones and
the refined, elegant 2005 Merlot/Cab
Franc blend—are here!
Buty
red blends buck the norm:
the 2004 Rediviva
of the Stones is 72% Syrah and 28%,
entirely
from the cobblestones of the famed Cailloux
Vineyard.
The 2005 Columbia Valley Merlot/Cabernet
Franc blend is
61% Merlot and 39% Cab Franc,
from the Conner Lee and Champoux Vineyards.
The 2004 Rediviva of the Stones is incredibly
limited
due to the freeze in Walla Walla in early 2004..
Equally as mouth
watering are the Buty white wines:
the 2005
Conner Lee Vineyard Chardonnay and
the
2005
Semillon (73%)/Sauvignon Blanc (27%) blend. The
Chardonnay, re-tasted last week, is among the
finest Northwest Chardonnays, with a wonderfully
round texture, voluminous fruit, and perfectly
integrated (and mellow) oak. The Semillon/Sauv
Blanc blend is the ideal match for seafood
or grilled chicken, and is bursting with liveliness.

— Best Deal
Washington Wine!
Each vintage,
Bill Owen makes a steal of a red
blend sourced
from Champoux, Sheridan, and Klipsun Vineyards. It’s
so new, we haven’t even tasted it yet! If
it is as good as the 2004, it won’t last
long. A big, juicy, slurpable red, one to
buy in case lots and make your personal "house
wine".
(Just to let you
know: lots of Washington winemakers I’ve
talked to recently
are REALLY excited about
their 2005 wines).
