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.

Our goal with our Ethos Reserve wines is to showcase the best of Washington for the varietal and the vintage. The Ethos Merlot offers blueberry fruit with wonderful complexity and rich layers. Our Merlots in Washington are so big and concentrated, we actually add a touch of Cabernet to soften the tannins.

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.

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.

This vintage is 98% Syrah co-fermented with 2% Viognier. The touches of Viognier dances with floral notes and accentuates the vibrant fruit of Syrah. Aged for 16 months in French oak, this wine is adventurous, balanced and fun.

This refreshing red blend is light on its feet, dancing with notes of raspberries and strawberries on the palate. Enjoy this beautifully textured and aromatic wine that was meticulously shaped from the cooler sites of Walla Walla.

The 2018 Cold Creek Red Blend showcases a delicious and fascinating spice notes. The palate opens with sweetness and density. Balance is maintained by ultrafine texture which draws out the fruit-driven finish. A slight dusting of cocoa caps off this non-traditional expression of Cold Creek Vineyard.

The 2019 Cinsaut shows how this varietal can thrive in Washington State. In the cellar, nearly half of this wine was aged in large 600-liter barrels to enhance very intricacy and nuance of flavor. Cinsaut always overperforms on the palate with silky yet substantial weight, and this wine is no exception!

Characteristic vibrant red fruit and earthy leather of Sangiovese meld with raspberry jam and floral elements to create a wine that is fresh, nuanced and smooth.

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.

Looking for the fresher, more complex wines, I found myself turning to our Canoe Ridge Estate vineyard. At 77% it is the largest this vineyard has ever been in the Artist Series; the site is maturing before our eyes, making the perfect combination of density and restraint. 13% from Dean Canyon Vineyard, is blended with Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon from Lawrence Vineyard (10%). This fruit brings color, weight and a touch of herb notes. This 25th anniversary vintage of Artist Series is going to be very special. Enjoy!

This Syrah, with opulent ripe fruit backed by delicate floral aromas and subtle spices, is an easy choice to showcase. Plush round tannins and a long smooth finish make it a pleasure to pair with a variety of foods or to be enjoyed on its own.

We crafted this Red Mountain Cab to highlight the ripe fruit characteristics and intense aromatics and focused tannins reflective of this very hot and dry region. Our wine offers aromas and flavors of black cherry, cardamom spice and dark chocolate with an elegant structure and refined tannins.

The 2018 vintage gave us a perfect combination of heat for ripening in the summer and a gradual cool down during harvest that allowed proper ripeness in the ideal timeframe. This year's blend is a special combination of Canoe Ridge Estate (39%), Cold Creek (26%), Kelly (18%), and Dineen (17%) Vineyards. The combination of warmer and cooler sites is the exact expression I look for in the Artist Series. The cooler sites provide dark cherry fruit, a touch of herbs and delicate harmony. The warmer sites give ballast and depth to add concentration and aging potential. This wine plays the perfect role of 'Old World' styling with "New World' structure.

In France, Counoise is one of the 13 allowed but lesser known Rhône Valley varietals. Larger, yet dark berries yield a light, balanced wine that has nice acidity, bright pepper notes and a lively, fruity finish. It is commonly blended in Châteauneuf du Pape, but is a fun yet interesting wine all on its own! Enjoy!

Specifically selected and carefully aged, this premier red blend highlights warm-weather vineyards with a robust palette of boysenberry and biscotti.

We crafted this luscious red blend with a warm summer day, some live music, and a picnic blanket in mind.

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.
