2006 Trust Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon:
The warm growing days of the Horse Heaven Hills (Phinney Hills and Champoux Vineyards) and the Columbia Basin (Bacchus) provide the bulk of Cabernet for this bottle. A little Walla Walla off the "rocks" (Kelley) provides some mid-palate lushness and the whole blend is softened with 20% Merlot from the very cool Conner Lee Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope. Lush dark berries, plum, and minerality race through this well integrated wine.

Expression 44 is in the White House

Very exciting news for proprietors Bill Hill and Dick Wollack, their Expression 44 Eola-Amity Pinot Noir was personally taken by President Obama back to the White House.
This pinot noir delivers both on terroir and complexity. It has complex aromas and flavors, minerality and a plush-textured mouthfeel. Ripe but refined, with a nice beam of black cherry and charred meat flavor coming through a fine veil of tannins, lingering on the finish. Need we say more?

A vineyard in Oregon’s scenic Willamette Valley is one of four Pacific
Coast vineyards from which Expression Wines will be introducing its
pinot noir in a program based on the latitude of the source.
A serendipity-do-da inaugural for Expression 44 wine

It was a big idea that Richard Wollack and Bill
Hill, co-principals in Expression Wines, had that suddenly and
serendipitously got bigger.
The names of wines the longtime
partners produce from four pinot noir vineyards in West Coast
appellations own through their Premier Pacific Vineyards company would
correspond to the latitudes and longitudes of their vineyard sources.
They would be marketed as “Pinot noirs with latitude.” The first of
them — Expression 44º from their vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley
— was released last month.
It didn’t occur to them that Barack
Obama’s inauguration as the 44th American president would be taking
place in the same timeframe — on Tuesday, Jan. 20, to be exact. But it
did occur to several of their customers, who suggested the link between
the inauguration of a president and the wine.
“We were
pleasantly surprised when people excitedly started calling us to buy,
saying that this was the perfect wine to serve at their inauguration
party,” said Wollack.
Wollack and Hill didn’t waste any time putting the
idea to work. And, Voilà! ... now there are parties being planned
around the nation, according to Expression Wines, that will “Toast 44
with 44º.”
