Savage Grace Wines

We had an amazing time on our tour and tasting with Michael! It was my first wine tour. His knowledge was fascinating, and we were shipped 2 bottles of compliments of my company, Precoa. Thank you Michael. We will enjoy and share with friends here in Chicago! We will place another order. Blessings.

Wines that are organic, good and made the old world methods. They have a wine not made with yeast but using enzymes. Its different but we enjoyed our tasting with owner explaining everything . Try the small cheese plate.

Savage Grace is awesome. The Riesling is great, but pretty much everything else is as well. Small place worth supporting. Been a wine club member since early on.

Run. Don't walk. If you like old-world style wines or naturally fermented wines this place is for you. They are doing something you don't find in Washington State that is SO SO special. Don't expect this to be anything like other Walla Walla wines. This place and their wines are unique and Interesting. Keep me wanting more in the best of ways.

The tasting room is cute, the wines were good and the person pouring was friendly. I found the tasting fee (and wines) overly expensive and the tastes somewhat stingy. The person working didn’t seem to have the support they needed, as they were unable to speak much to the wines. I liked that the wines were atypical for Washington state, but found it more notable that they were all single varietal. I’m a big fan of old world wines and for the price, nothing knocked my socks off.

Amber was amazing! She let us come in just before closing and made us feel right at home without feeling rushed. The wine was delicous, we had a great time and would highly recommend anyone to check this place out! The wines were delicious and unfiltered which was a neat experience and they were great, both the red and the white.

The staff at the winery is very pleasant. All the wines are made to be very acid forward with lower alcohol content than many of the other wines that are out there. They seem like they will be good on a sunny day with a fish or citrus salad. If I was reading the wines solely I would probably give them at 3 because there's a lot of stiff competition around.

Favorite winery in WA state. I don't write many reviews but feel the need to address the one-star ratings I see stating the (red) wine is too light or "out of character". If your interest in wine only extends to the big-bodied Syrahs and Cabernets and other reds with big tannins and flavors of barrel then go to one of the other hundred wineries doing that in Woodinville/WA state. If you want to taste something truly unique that highlights the different WA terroir and varietals of grapes in their more natural style (think beaujolais or other higher acid/lower ABV style European reds) then this is THE place. There is some really cool stuff going on here. Whole cluster/carbonic fermentation. Skin contact whites aka "orange wine". Red and whites and pet nat sparkling with all sorts of the exciting flavors and nuances typical for the "natural wine" movement that is so popular for good reason. Think of Cabernet and Malbec that taste like bright cherry and pink peppercorn and dried herbs with reserved tannins. Not the dark fruit and leather and oak and required steak to stand up to the heavy reds more typical for WA. Come here to expand your mind as to what WA state wine can be and you will be rewarded!

Man, I wish I liked Savage Grace Wines more than I do because the employees were the friendliest people. Very accommodating and social. Out of our wine-hopping day, Savage Grace had the best customer service. But the wines just fell short for me. We each had a flight, and the friendly employee told us about the different wines, explaining that the wines were very drinkable, smooth and lighter. Unfortunately, that's just not my style of wines. I like bold, robust red wines that are silky. So when he checked in with us, asking how we liked the wines, we gently explained we liked more bold wines. Therefore, he allowed us to try the same kind of wines side by side, ranging in different years, so we could taste the difference in how much bolder one wine was to the other. We could taste the difference, which was cool to try. But none of the wines were anything I'd purchase for myself. The space is spacious enough and is located on the far end of the industrial area. It was inviting and again, you can't beat the friendly staff here that tried their best to make our experience here worthwhile. With that said, the stars are primarily for the wonderful service here.

We attended a recent tasting and are very glad we did! Great and specialized wines, excellent food pairings and excellent service. Try it out!

My first experience with the Woodinville wine region and it was such an intimate and interactive experience! Winemaker Michael Savage personally led us through his portfolio and my friends and I learned quite a bit about his philosophy and approach. I thoroughly enjoyed his more traditional Old World style with the goal of letting the wine express itself as much as possible with less intervention. While I wasn't quite as a big a fan of the whites, the line-up of reds was very good with his Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon standing out. Highly recommended!

Visiting vineyards is any good west coaster's favorite pastime, but the Woodinville Warehouse District is a pretty awesome way to pack in way more tastings that you would normally ever have a chance to get. There were several fabulous wineries we stopped through, but unanimously all of the tasting locations we asked said we should go to Savage Grace Wines. To be fair, this was the caboose of our 6 winery tasting train, so my memory of how great the wine was could have been slightly skewed. But I'll stand my ground on the 5 star rating because my entire party loved the wine - in fact we ended up purchasing several bottles - and we thoroughly enjoyed interacting with all the servers working there. It's located at the end of the warehouses with a slightly pretty view (compared to the other spots). It's rustic inside with a cool, down-to-earth vibe. Highly recommended, can't wait to go back to taste more!

NAILED IT!!!! Our server was on his second day, his name was Jay! He crushed it with descriptions and stories about himself. It's a small little store front and he then informed us of what our next stop should be if we weren't done for the day. The wines were awesome and we ended up buying a couple of bottles. We ran into some friends there as well and if we ran into them there you know its a great place to be. The pour size was great, and the flights were beautiful. I have read some reviews stating that wines lacked body, I would disagree completely. I would go back here again to drink more wine and be served by Jay again.

I like to say that I know wine a little bit...but going to Savage Grace was a delightful surprise. Their wine is amazingly smooth, organic and delicious. Oh and they have an Orange Rose that is something I've never tried.

If you like wines lacking body this is your place. Though it came recommended by another tasting room we poured out most of our tasting, pretty much everything after the first sip. They pick early and limit barrel time so it may be just the place for people new to the red world, or who prefer cranberry juice. Overall we found it very subpar for the area.

If I hadn't first heard about Savage Grace before I first visited it, I wonder if I would ever have stumbled across it on my own. It's tucked at the very back of the main area of the Warehouse District in Woodinville, and apart from an unassuming sandwich board with their name on it sitting at the entrance to the warehouses with all the other boards, there's not much else to point you there. Once you arrive, though, you're in for a treat. Wineries in the Warehouse District, off the beaten tourist path as they are, tend to set themselves apart from other Woodinville wineries, and Savage Grace distinguishes itself even further in that already crowded field of serious winemakers. The emphasis here is on elegance and thoughtfulness with a shot of Old World sensibility. You get a sense of both of these when you taste through the six or seven wines they usually have open. Each time I've tasted there I've been able to sample the Chardonnay, and it hasn't disappointed yet. The fruit and oak are carefully balanced, and you taste lots of tart apple and citrus without sacrificing body. They make a solid Sauv Blanc and a really interesting Grunner Veltliner (which you're not going to see every day in a Washington tasting room). On the red front, there's a really nifty, light-bodied but flavorful Pinot Noir that will educate anybody who thinks "Washington Pinot" is an oxymoron. The real star, in this humble writer's humble opinion, though, is the Cab Franc. I'll just come out and say it -- every time I taste it, I taste France, and every time I taste it I buy at least another bottle. They're only open two days a week (Saturday and Sunday) and then only for a few hours. In practice this means that you're likely to have your wine poured by the winemaker himself, and he's a treasure trove of information about the journey his grapes make from vineyard to bottle. They have a wine club, but it's unusual in that you have the option to decline to purchase your allotment while retaining the perks of membership; I find it to be a very congenial arrangement and hope other wineries adopt this model. Lastly, the folks there (essentially the winemaker et ux.) are just plain nice and incredibly humble and unassuming about the really impressive wines they make. Bottom line: If you're in the Warehouse District on a Saturday or Sunday, make your way all the way to the back for a taste of some of the most elegant and thoughtful wines in Washington.

Good wines, but just decent customer service. Pretty normal experience.

This is what a quest brings you! We decided we wanted to go to 'the end of the road' in the warehouse district, not knowing which winery we would find. The answer is Savage Grace Wines. What a great winery with the winemaker pouring and sharing the history of the winery as well as the details of production on each wine. The focus on great grapes and what nature literally brings to the table is refreshing and delicious. This place is the real deal...........and I dare you to walk out without buying a bottle or more! "Salud" to Savage Grace for a top tier tasting experience and wines that you won't find anywhere else!
