Inspired by the greatness of one man—owner, Andrew Browne’s Grandfather, William Bitner Browne—integrity and excellence are the standards upon which Browne wines are created. As a curator of the brightest talent, best vineyards and the divining rod of winning concepts at Precept Wine, where Andrew serves as its CEO, his groundbreaking feats across the wine industry carry through to his own family legacy in wine, Browne Family. This is premium Washington wine, made with the utmost quality and enjoyment in mind. Browne Family Vineyards was 15 years in the making before its first vintage ever debuted. Vineyards, winemakers, and cellar masters committed to world-class wine production were carefully and deliberately selected to represent the best of the Columbia Valley AVA. To date, Browne has received more than 30 scores of 90 points or higher from critical reviews.
Canoe Ridge Vineyard is one of Washington State’s most recognized wineries, with its namesake vineyard established in 1989 in the Horse Heaven Hills American Viticultural Area. Varieties are focused on Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. The name comes from a ridge by the vineyard located along the mid-Columbia River, near the town of Paterson. The famed explorers Lewis & Clark named this crest of land as they journeyed down the Columbia River in 1805. From the river, the adventurers thought the ridge resembled an overturned canoe. The Walla Walla-based winery marked its 20th anniversary in 2014.

Tried all of these last night at the San Diego gathering. All four were tasty but I didn’t take detailed notes. None of these are super complex, but at the price they don’t have to be. They’re all tasty and easy to drink and $15/bottle is a fair price.
The bubbles are each different, with the canoe ridge being a bit more dry than the other two.
The rose is nice and dry.

Still & Sparkling Rosé Mix - $15 = 8.09%
Main offer page says “Vintage 2021 Grenache Rosé and three NV sparkling rosés”. I assume that is incorrect, two vintage and two NV seem to be the case, no pun intended. Well maybe it is three and one, the Canoe Ridge seems to be listed as vintage and NV. Perhaps some clarification is necessary.
2021 Browne Family Bitner was at Reverse Wine Snob in May, selling at $20/btl. Comments: “The 2021 Browne Family Vineyards Bitner Estate Grenache Rosé opens with a very attractive and enticing aroma of strawberry, watermelon, pear and even a little bit of a salty mineral note. It’s a wonderful start.
Tasting the wine reveals it to be light bodied but not light on flavor. In fact, this is rich and fantastically flavorful as well as perfectly refreshing. It features similar flavors to the nose with continued minerality in the mouth.
The fruit turns a bit more tart when leading into the very long, dry, savory, satisfying, crisp, lip-smacking finish. It’s a good thing it’s only 12.5% alcohol because this is highly quaffable stuff!”
There is an old, 2018, review in Wine Spectator of the Domaine Saint Vincent, so not sure how relevant it is: 84 Points. Sweet and simple, with cherry and toasted spice flavors. Drink now. 1,000 cases made. — TF Web only 2018
The notes above say produced in New Mexico I see, but it is an “American” wine.
Rand Sealy (?) of reviewofwashingtonwines.com gave a slew of wines scores in December '21. The Browne Gigi scored 19/20 in the $40 and under category, no comments. I believe this is a $40 retail.
Lower pH wines have higher acidity, which gives them the power to cut through rich sauces while complementing lighter fare like fresh salads, sushi, soft cheese or seafood. The dry acidity of sparkling rosé helps it pair especially well with greasy, fatty, fried and spicy dishes.
Good morning all! Yes – at the San Diego gathering we tasted through all of these. I’ll have some consolidated opinions from a few other attendees:
Browne Family Grenache Rose: Sweet from the fruit but seemed fully dry. I did write down that it had some flintiness and some briney/salty mouthfeel. It was fun to have a still wine to compare and contrast. This was the favorite of one attendee who prefers dry reds.
Gigi: Apricot/peach with crispness. This seemed to have the most tannic grip and was thought by most to be the driest of the bunch. Ultimately, it didn’t have a long finish and wasn’t richly complex.
Canoe Ridge: Much more depth but had a little more sweetness. The not-quite-scientific opinion was it tasted more Champagne-like.
Domaine St. Vincent: very much reminded me of a Gruet. I’ve not had the Gruet Rose, but i would suspect this would be VERY similar – a little toasty, a little tart. This was my choice for the bubbly.
Across the board they were very straightforward and tasty. They’d really be great with things like fish tacos, salads, quiches. Having a brunch? Serve any of these and you’ll be great!
Thanks to WCC and Precept for the chance to test these!
@WCCWineGirl
It’s been a long time since we’ve had a Twin Cities gathering. You can count on being invited if I can manage to get enough people interested.
As far as WD allowing the expense… better to ask for forgiveness instead of permission, right?

@klezman Aren’t they all rose?
@kaolis @klezman
I’m thinking the reference is likely to the still Rosé.
@klezman You meant the still rose…

@kaolis
Looking at the pic, it seems to be 3+1.
@rjquillin cellartracker link says 2021 Canoe Ridge and so does the big bold title above, says 2021 Canoe Ridge…that’s where I got confused

@radiolysis Thank you for the rattage report of these wines
Sounds like the SD gathering was a lot of fun. Next time I’ll bring the wine in person. I’m sure WD won’t mind the extra business expense

@WCCWineGirl absolutely! I’ll post the empty bottles picture here shortly. It was a blast.
@WCCWineGirl
From what I’ve been reading about gas prices in California, and distance down to SD, that trip might bankrupt WD.
Long story short, but my wife just had outpatient surgery that finally allows her to be able to burp after 50 years. Practice makes perfect, right?
