2010 Pinot Gris
Columbia Valley
Our Pinot Gris style falls between the lighter Italian Pinot Grigio and the richer, rounder Pinot Gris from Alsace. This wine offers fresh aromas and flavors of pear, fig and a hint of spice. A touch of Viognier contributes texture and an attractive floral character. A cooler vintage in 2010 allowed this Washington Pinot Gris to develop vibrant acidity.

Our goal with the Columbia Valley Cabernet is to highlight concentrated Washington red fruit in an accessible style. This is our inviting Cab with plenty of complexity and structure with silky tannins. This red wine is also very versatile with food–try it with beef, pork or pasta.

2008 Syrah
The Columbia Valley Syrah is a soft, ripe Syrah with ripe berry fruit aromas and flavors with hints of vanilla and brown sugar spice. The 2008 Syrah was co-fermented with Viognier for an even more accessible and fruit forward style of Syrah. This enjoyable red is sourced from vineyards on the Wahluke Slope, an ideal growing region in Washington for Rhone-style varietals.

2009 Merlot
We craft this wine to be our complex yet approachable Merlot. The wine offers aromas of black cherry, leather and spice with layers of rich dark red fruit flavors and a long, smooth, sweet finish. A touch of Syrah adds a jammy fruit character to this Washington Merlot. A great red wine for everyday.

Columbia Valley
2011 Chardonnay
The goal is to make a pleasurable, food-friendly Washington Chardonnay. The 2012 vintage is fresh and soft with bright apple, sweet citrus and subtle spice and oak. We blend Chardonnay grapes from vineyards all over Columbia Valley to make this a complex and interesting wine. Sur lie aging in a mix of French and American oak barrels softens the wine and integrates fruit and oak flavors.
