Wine Spectator Top 100: We're Named #1 Wine in 2009 (made in the USA)

Union vinted and bottled (UFW) in the State of Washington!



Columbia Crest has accumulated many awards and accolades over the years, but none more thrilling and definitive than our 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon being named the No. 1 wine in the world for 2009 by Wine Spectator, the world’s leading consumer wine magazine. Equally noteworthy is that Columbia Crest is the first Washington wine to fill the top spot in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines of the world ranking.

Although this incredible wine is currently sold out, we are searching through our private cellar to find a few precious cases that can be released to the public. In the meantime, be sure to try our other award-winning Reserve Wines, like our 2006 Walter Clore Private Reserve Red Wine & 2006 Wautoma Springs Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

Needless to say, we’re all elated by this honor, especially winemaker Ray Einberger, who is now proudly chanting through the halls of our Paterson winery, "Crest is Best!"

Congratulate Ray and his winemaking team today on our Facebook page:

2. That's great, and glad to know they are union

is there a list somewhere (sorry to come off as too lazy to find out) of other union vinted wines? I'd like to support them.
