For my very first Limited Release white wine I had the pleasure of sourcing from old vines in the cooler Yakima Valley AVA. By blending wine fermented in barrel with wine from concrete and stainless-steel tanks, I found a balance of complexity and vibrancy, with a rich textured finish.

Grab your full-length robe, a slice of red velvet cake, and settle into your velour couch with this bottle. Fully decadent yet structured, this wine beams of rich oak, sweet berry flavors, and silky-smooth tannins. We all deserve a little luxury in our lives.

This wine showcases vibrant ripe berries, violets and a long, rich finish.

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.

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, this is the decadent wine lover’s dream. Inky dark color, rich, juicy flavors, endless complexity, and a weighty finish that puts a steak in its place.

This blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne delivers richness and structure. Some of the Viognier was fermented in stainless steel to lend a bright pretty fruit note. The remaining Viognier, along with the Marsanne and Roussanne, was fermented in neutral barrels adding a creamy texture.

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.

2021 gave us a stunner of an Aligoté. This wine is approachable and easy to enjoy but bold enough to stand toe to toe with flavorful foods. Fresh white peach and orange zest aromas jump out of the glass and keep calling you back for more.

Chenin Blanc retains its distinct identity but also echoes its surroundings. This unique characteristic allowed me to use wine fermented in concrete, barrel and stainless steel to create the most complex wine possible. Enjoy beautiful floral aromas, with a balance of liveliness and lushness.

No way, Gamay? We sought out one of the few Washington Gamay plantings, Carousel Vineyard, to bring you this lively, fruity Gamay. This wine saw carbonic fermentation in a concrete pyramid, and was blended with some whole cluster stainless steel fermented Gamay for the ideal blend.

The combination of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre is joined by Cinsaut, which refines and brightens the complex palate. Partially fermented and aged in concrete tanks, weaving threads of pure fruit throughout is spiraling depth; focused tannins and exotic spice make this red wine a sensory delight. 

The techniques used to create this Syrah added layers of flavor and texture to the iconic profile of Cold Creek Estate Vineyard and created a wine that will evolve in your glass and your cellar.

Druthers is one our richest, most exorbitantly extracted Cabernets! Made from the oldest block of Cold Creek Cabernet, this is what Big Cab is all about.

Long time club members may remember Tempestade as a dark, brooding wine. Not for this vintage; the 2014 has had a makeover! Old vine Portuguese varieties from Cold Creek vineyard were fermented together as a field blend, then aged in concrete to preserve the explosive fruit and rich minerality.

This wine highlights the broad range of wine that can be made with Syrah. These Syrah (90%) grapes were co-fermented with Viognier (10%) in the style of Côte-Rôtie in Northern Rhône region of France. The Viognier brings a delicate character to the Syrah and together they create a wine with notes of orange blossom, raspberry brambles and red currants.

Using the yeast naturally occurring on the grapes in the vineyard allows this wine to show the complexity and depth that slower and more diverse fermentations can yield. Bright berry notes jump out but give way to cucumber and herbs.

Instead of fortifying the grapes for a sweet wine, these are fermented to create a dry red wine. The result is an interesting duality; the Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cão and Tinta Madeira grapes bring an earthy depth to the wine while the Souzão layers acidity with bright fruit on top.

Dense, ripe tannins were accentuated by nice grip from the firm acid structure, and resulted in a very rich, full expression. Still everything you look for in Druthers; decadence, rich and ripe fruit, full tasty mouthfeel and almost (but not quite) too much of a great Cab!
