Today we share the wines of Amos Rome, a remarkably consistent producer from Lake Chelan. Amos Rome sources from locations in the Columbia Valley as well as their estate site in Chelan County. Their estate vineyard has a wide range of varietals including Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon. They also utilize their High Blossom Vineyard located three miles from the tasting room and is set at 2000 feet. The location is planted to Riesling (planted in 2003), Grüner Veltliner (planted in 2019), and a block of Tempranillo & Albariño (planted in 2021). Wines show good body with texture and excellent acidity considering the heat of the region.
Owners Travis and Brianna Clark run the winery that has sweeping views of Lake Chelan. Travis serves as winemaker and has completed the WSU Viticulture Certificate program. I love the new 2025 Amos Rome Albarino (OB, 92) which comes off round and generous on the mouth. Learn more at https://www.amosrome.com/ and here are my reviews of the new Amos Rome wines.
