2020 MARCOUX

Wines from famed Red Willow Vineyard are often some of the most distinctive produced in the state.  Those who have been lucky enough to visit the site may immediately be transported back by this wine and its expansive scents and flavors of juicy red cherries, plums, black currants, and blackberries, accompanied by hints of tobacco, vanilla and sagebrush, all carried seamlessly from start to finish by the mineral core and fine-grained structure characteristic of Red Willow.  Named after one of the blocks from which these grapes were sourced (which was itself named after grower Mike Sauer’s mother), this wine is intense and a bit darker than the previous vintage, finishing long after you swallow with lingering fruits and eastern-Washington desert aromatics.  Decant to enjoy fully today or allow this wine to age further to naturally open up and express its full potential. 

• Pair with: We recommend pairing this wine with a herbed, roasted pork loin, or grilled chicken with chimichurri.

2020 PETIT VERDOT

Our 2020 Petit Verdot is everything lovers of this varietal look for: powerful yet soft.   Classic aromas of violets and dusty lavender are joined by light notes of maple and sage.  Inky dark purple in color, ripe plums, black cherries and sweet blackberries dominate the intense flavor profile.  Bold, smooth tannins and a lush mouthfeel eventually give way to a lingering finish of dark fruits and earthiness.

2021 GRENACHE

As is often the case, this vintage of our Washington State nod to the Southern Rhone Valley of France is predominantly Grenache, with just a smidge of Mourvèdre adding color, depth and complexity.  The well-balanced blend opens with deep and inviting aromas of warm strawberry compote, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Broad, juicy and surprisingly light flavors of the same dance on the palate and are joined by blackberry and briar notes from the Mourvèdre.   The long, spicy finish features lingering fruit and classic polished Red Mountain tannic structure.

• Pair with: Lighter fare including herbed chicken or lightly smoked pork chops.

• AVA: Red Mountain

• Composition: 92% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre

• Vineyards: Red Heaven

• Production: 233 cases

2020 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Deep ruby in color, our 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with intense aromas of dark cherries and black currants, backed up by generous notes of cedar, rosemary, sage, thyme, and just a hint of vanilla.   Mouthwatering flavors of tart black cherries and ripe blackberries explode onto the palate, where they are joined by pleasing hints of sweet plums and light bramble.  Solid structure is balanced in the long finish by lingering notes of juicy dark fruits and hints of cocoa powder.  Eminently enjoyable today, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 4-6 years.
