Bright brambly raspberry and blackberry aromas leap out of the glass followed by candied orange peel, delicate allspice and cedar, and a kiss of vanilla. The flavors are bright and vibrant with juicy ripe strawberries and citrus notes. A silky smooth entry and gives way to a pleasing soft finish.

The best vintages produce complex wines and 2018 was exceptional-especially for Rhone-style varieties. The 2018 Austral is fresh and wild with fascinating notes of green peppercorns, rhubarb and raspberry tea. The mid-palate is broad with ample ripe fruit. Sweet spice and currant notes extend the finish.

Snipes Mountain became Washington’s 10th official AVA in 2009, but first plantings of vines were as early as 1917. The steep terrain is decorated with boulders and gullies which generate brisk fog in the morning and intense sunshine in the afternoon. This Syrah is rich and concentrated. Enjoy with wild game or barbeque.

Mourvèdre is such a fascinating and distinctive varietal, so blending it is always a huge treat! 2019 was no exception as the vintage brought out delicate and beautiful flavors. Sweet plum and blueberry fruit play against notes of brine pepper, and red meat.

This blend showcases the best of both varietals, combining zesty, citrus-driven aromatics with the hints of minerality on the finish. It's a refreshing wine to simply enjoy on a warm day.

Sourced from a single block of our Cold Creek Vineyard, fermented with the pedal to the metal, and aged in the finest French oak barrels, Druthers Cabernet Sauvignon is the decadent wine lover’s dream. Inky dark color, rich, juicy flavors, and endless complexity.

While a departure from the typical Druthers Cabernet, faithful fans and new converts alike will appreciate the unmatched decadence of this wine. Built from three vineyard sites renowned for opulence, this vintage has a sophisticated balance of rich juicy blueberry and vibrant red fruit with a long lustrous finish.

By combing naturally vibrant and fruity Barbera with intrinsically rich and decadent Syrah, we are able to capture the best of both worlds in a truly special combination. The Horse Heaven Hills AVA lends its influence to yield a wine that is both graceful and exuberant, and has unmatched versatility.

We love Washington Sémillon for its full body that also surprises your palate with lively flavors. To showcase this unique identity, the wine was mostly fermented in tank to highlight the zesty fruit, but we also blended barrel fermented wine to bring out the rich and creamy texture of the grape.

Enjoy the delicate flavors and texture, brought to you by patience. The Yakima Valley region’s sunny days and cool evening temperatures create ideal conditions for intense aroma and flavor development in the ripening grapes. The season produced white wines with varietal character and bright vibrancy.

This wine is focused and packs a punch of lemon, lime and peach aromas followed by pin point acidity. It is mouthwatering and will pair extremely well with our bounty of Northwest seafood.

This Rhone-style white wine offers superb freshness and crisp acidity. The majority was stainless steel fermented to highlight flavors of blood orange and white flowers. Some wine from neutral barrel was blended in, providing some body and texture. Enjoy!

Flying M Farms provided the grapes for this expressive, complex, dry-style Gewürztraminer. Aromas of pink grapefruit, minerality, and ginger linger in the glass. The wine was fermented in our large format oak barrel and offers a luscious, velvety palate with hints of dried herb and coriander.

This Rhône-style white blend is always my favorite wine to make because the sky’s the limit. You can take four different grape varieties and make them 18 different ways – barrel, stainless, yeasts, no yeasts, whatever you’re feeling. It’s so much fun.

Making our first organic wine at Chateau Ste Michelle was an exciting and nerve-wracking experience for the whole winemaking team. It is a commitment that requires the attention of every single person in the winery to ensure the organic wine is kept wholly separate. All equipment must be specially cleaned before use and all safety nets to ensure wine quality are removed. It is a risky business where many things can go wrong, and we are all very proud of the result of all our efforts. Our organic wine was blissfully unaware of the stress and effort surrounding its upbringing and made its way calmly into the bottle with all its raw and unadorned beauty intact.

Of course, the first requirement is organic grapes. Our grape-growing partner faced the same challenges of isolating the grapes from all other farming operations, and the removal of safety nets to protect the grapes from disease and pests. We are very grateful to have such capable partners in our efforts to create a wine that highlights our values of sustaining the land, the wildlife around it, our community, and our wine region.

This Marsanne fruit got split this year into a tank and barrel ferment. It went to barrel without yeast – wild– and it delivered. It has a rich, viscous palate, while still retaining fruit. The barrel portion was then blended with a bit of the tank ferment which adds verse and a bright fruit backbone.

A majority of this wine was fermented in one of our concrete tanks which adds depth & texture to this racy, citrus flavored wine. The wine has a natural minerality making this an excellent food wine. Impress all your guests by serving a wine with an umlaut (two dots) in the name!

Grapes sourced for this elegant, complex, dry-style Gewürztraminer are from vineyards in the cooler Yakima Valley. Aromas of pink grapefruit, minerality and ginger linger in the glass. The wine was fermented in neutral oak which offers a velvety palate with hints of dried herb and coriander.
