Saint Laurent Winery - Wenatchee-Wines & Vineyard

In this month's issue, Wine Press Northwest magazine Recommends our 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2006 Merlot and gives our 2006 Syrah an Outstanding! rating.  Read their reviews:

Saint Laurent 2006 Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Wahluke Slope

"Craig Mitrakul is one of the rising young winemaking stars in Washington, and he oversees winemaking for this family operation in the Wenatchee area town of Malaga. The grapes come from an estate vineyard planted a decade ago by owner Mike Mrachek. This is a tasty Cab with classic aromas of ripe plums, hints of oak and a dab of dark chocolate."

Saint Laurent 2006 Estate Vineyard Merlot

Few wineries in the Northwest feature a view as breathtaking and expansive as this estate winery near Wenatchee, Wash.  Their other vineyard, an hour's drive downstream on the Columbia River, produced accents of blueberries, black cherries and lilacs with abundant oak notes of vanilla bean, caramel, coffee and lingering tar.

Saint Laurent 2006 Estate Vineyard Syrah

The Mracheks control more than 200 acres of vineyard, but they sell more than 80 percent of their grapes.  Their winemaker, Craig Mitrakul, gets his choice and here's a prime cut.  It's easy to pick out the fruit aromas of boysenberry and ripe Bing cherry, backed by hints of chocolate, coffee and cola.  There are more Bings and chocolate on the vibrant and balanced palate along with blackberry, sarsaparilla, Earl Grey tea and leather.
