—WHITE WINE—

2022 ROUSSANNE (new fall release!)

This is our first ever 100% Roussanne, created to showcase both our estate vineyard in Walla Walla and what this grape can do all by itself. The pale yellow color does little to hint at the intensity and complexity of what is to follow. Aromas of honeycomb, Meyer lemons, and iced black tea transition to a mouthwatering, characteristically weighty Roussanne mouthfeel, where flavors of the same are joined by light notes of citrus.

Pair with: Heavier seafood dishes, lighter meats and cream sauces.

2022 CHARDONNAY (new fall release!)

Featuring grapes from a cooler climate near the Columbia river, our full-bodied and balanced 2022 Chardonnay is fresh, lively, and combines the best of both oak and stainless steel winemaking techniques. Opening notes of honeysuckle, lemon zest, tropical fruits, and light vanilla are backed by a core of minerality. Pronounced citrus accompanies the usually dominant and mouthwatering flavors of pineapples and pears. The finish is long and crisp, resolving finally into that same core of minerality noted at the start.

Pair with: Your favorite quiche, sweet and savory ravioli fillings with cream sauce, or any seafood fresh off the grill.

The 2022 vintage of our Mélange Blanc returns to a more Roussanne dominant blend, featuring the classic aromas and flavors of fresh-cut ripe pear, honeycomb, star fruit and hints of tea. The Viognier brings significant stone fruits, white flowers, citrus, and minerality. Finally, the Chardonnay in the blend provides notes of apples and rounds out the creamy mouthfeel. Crisp and agile on the palate, yet full-bodied, Mélange Blanc appeals directly to your inner "white wine lover”.

Pair with: Duck Breast, Dungeness crab dip, or grilled halibut.

Very pale straw colored, this year’s offering once again opens with explosive and layered aromas of lemon grass, tropical fruits, and white flowers, leading into flavors of passion fruit, white peach and tart green apples.

In 2019, Cabernet Sauvignon from Quintessence and Red Willow vineyards returns as the dominant varietal in our E70 blend, with Syrah from Red Heaven, Boushey and Alder Ridge making up the balance. Earthy and spicy notes of Syrah lead on the nose, where aromas of blackberry cobbler and fresh-ground black pepper dominate, supported by sweet vanilla and slightly smoky notes of cured meats. On the palate the Cabernet Sauvignon asserts itself, contributing the mouthwatering flavors of black cherries and currents, along with subtle cedar and graphite.

2019 MERLOT (new fall release!)

Merlot was one of the first varietals to put Washington State on the world wine map! This vintage of our Merlot suggests superb age-ability and shows why it is still among the best our state has to offer. Our medium purple, intense and inviting classic Merlot offers aromas of cherries, plums, and cocoa powder, which are joined seamlessly with barrel notes of vanilla, and cedar.

Classic aromas of violets and dusty lavender are joined by light notes of maple and sage. Our Petit Verdot is inky dark purple in color, with ripe plums, black cherries and sweet blackberries which dominate the intense flavor profile.

Distinctive and delicious, this single vineyard Syrah from prestigious Ciel du Cheval on Red Mountain was produced especially with our club members in mind. This deep purple wine is more savory in character than many of our other Syrahs. From the enticing aroma to the long finish, focused, super-dark fruits and Asian plum sauce combine seamlessly with fresh-ground black pepper and a structured core of classic Red Mountain dusty tannins and minerality.
