Bookcliff Crescendo Review - 90 points

Quote from the Blog on 2/28/17 "Of the two wines I tasted, the most impressive was their blend of Syrah, Petite Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Souzao called Crescendo (2013). This is a gorgeous, soul-stirring wine. Intriguing notes of cinnamon and coriander with floral highlights mix with dark and red berry fruit to yield a nose of some complexity and depth. The palate is rich and luscious with full bodied mocha permeating the layers of dark fruit. A slightly angular edginess gives the wine lift introducing a medium length, radiant finish that brings together concentrated spice notes with fruit that persists until the end in a grand finale.  Toasted oak plays a subtle supporting role and do the softly resonating tannins. This is a very satisfying wine and quite unique with Syrah and Petite Verdot forming an unusual marriage that seems made in heaven. Large and dimensional while remaining winsome and captivating, it’s too bad Valentine’s Day is past." Quote from foodandwineaesthetics.com

BookCliff Viognier 2014 fares well in blind tasting

Paula Mitchell from Exploring Colorado Wineries gave us some nice compliments for our 2014 Viognier. She tasted five Viogniers blind. Among them was a wine from Chile, California, Australia and France and Colorado (Bookcliff Vineyards). In the quest for something else than Chardonnay many regions planted Viognier and gave it a try. Two areas we recently visited, the Okanagan region in British Columbia and Amador county in California produce Viognier. And as Paula pointed out many Colorado wineries produce great Viognier.
