The keenly priced 2016 Gewürztraminer Celilo Vineyard reveals extravagantly perfumed aromas of exotic spices, peach and orange blossom. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with nice concentration and cut underpinning notable power and texture. It's a fragrant, unusually serious Gewürztraminer to drink over the next 5 or 6 years.

Exotic spice, persimmon and orange blossom notes all emerge from the 2015 Gewurztraminer Celilo Vineyard, and it's juicy and lively on the palate, with vibrant acidity.

Chris Dowsett’s 2014 Gewurztraminer Celilo Vineyard (100% Gewurztraminer raised in neutral oak) offers a terrific bouquet of exotic spices, jasmine, quince and a kiss of minerality in a medium-bodied, pure, classy package that finishes clean and dry. It will be incredibly versatile on the dinner table and should drink nicely for a couple years.

An excellent white, the 2013 Gewurztraminer Celilo Vineyard sports exotic, perfumed notes of star fruits, juniper berry, lychee and green citrus, medium-bodied richness and good acidity that shines on the dry finish. Clean, crisp and well-made, enjoy it over the coming couple of years.

The only white produced here comes from the Celilo Vineyard, which is located up against the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains in the cooler Columbia Gorge AVA. The 2012 Gewurztraminer Celilo Vineyard offers up a lively, delicious array of star fruit, melon, citrus rind and crushed rock minerality to go with a medium-bodied, sweetly fruited and supple palate. Hard to resist and a fun drink, with crisp acidity and outstanding length, it’s a no-brainer purchase and will delight over the coming handful of years. Drink now-2014. This family-run estate was created in 2007 and the wines are made by Chris Dowsett (also the winemaker for Buty). They feature medium-bodied, savory profiles that rely more on freshness and acid than power and richness. Tel. (509) 520-8215; www.dowsettwines.com
