NxNW Wine on Tap

September 1, 2012

NxNW Walla Walla Wines Now Available on Tap in Keg Chardonnay, Riesling, Red Blend

Wine on tap is a popular new trend and NxNW is on the forefront of this innovative wine service technology. By pouring from a keg, restaurant and bar owners will be able to avoid wasting wine due to spoilage, and help the environment by cutting down on the transport and disposal of glass bottles, corks, and other packaging. The kegs are sanitized and refilled, and wine keeps in the keg for over 6 months. A keg can hold the equivalent of 26 bottles of wine, or about 130 five-ounce glasses.

NxNW is currently packaging the following wines in keg:

2011 NxNW Horse Heaven Hills Chardonnay
2011 NxNW Horse Heaven Hills Riesling
2011 NxNW Columbia Valley Red Blend

In late June a 4 tap system was unveiled at the King Estate Winery visitor center in Eugene, OR, where we are currently showcasing some NxNW wines. If you are in the Eugene area stop by and check it out.

Here’s a video about Wine on Tap and the 4-tap system installed at King Estate.

Check out the latest vintage of our Horse Heaven Hills Riesling & Chardonnay

NxNW Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 - 90 points

Proficient technically and showing a certain amount of style, this is a focused Cabernet with tart, tangy cassis and berry fruit flavors. The barrel regimen adds a bit of toast and mocha to the finish.

NxNW Walla Walla Syrah 2009 - 90 points

Sourced entirely from Walla Walla’s Les Collines vineyard, this lovely Syrah features pretty strawberry and cherry fruit, broadly displayed with a rich vein of chocolate. [...]

NxNW Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 - 91 points

NxNW makes much less of its Walla Walla Cabernet than its Columbia valley bottling, though both are priced the same. This is the one to find – a deep, dark wine rife with smoke and espresso. [...]

NxNW Horse Heaven Hills Riesling 2011 - Best Buy 90 points

Quite tart and bone dry, this sources its fruit from the Wallula Benches vineyard – a site also prominently featured in Pacific Rim’s Riesling lineup. [...]

NxNW Horse Heaven Hills Riesling 2011 - Best Value 89 points

Light and silky, displaying pretty flavors of pear and peach that linger on the dry, generous finish. Drink now through 2016.

NxNW Walla Walla Syrah 2009 - 93 points

Dark, pure and focused, delivering a gorgeous mouthful of rich, rose petal-accented blackberry, black olive and tar flavors that linger enticingly on the polished finish.

— Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator
NxNW Walla Walla Syrah 2008 - 90 points

This classically styled Walla Walla Syrah is sourced from the excellent Les Collines Vineyard.

Wine Enthusiast
NxNW Walla Walla Cuvée 2008 - 91 points

Supple, ripe and appealing for the loamy earth and green olive notes, which harmonize nicely with black cherry and spice flavors, rolling through a gentle finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot.

Wine Spectator
NxNW Walla Walla Syrah 2008 - 93 points

Supple, complex and distinctive, displaying an intriguing interplay of dark berry, black olive, stony mineral and dusky spice flavors that weave through a veil of fine tannins, lingering on an expressive finish…

Wine Spectator
NxNW Horse Heaven Hills Riesling 2010 - BEST BUY 90 points

Done in a dry style, this fine effort is sourced from the Wallula Benches vineyard. It’s good juice, with a delicious mix of stone fruits, citrus zest and a hint of sweet honey.

— Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast
