Our Wines
2004 Claret
Released April 2007
Price: $19.00 Bottle / $205.20 Case
This blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 10%
Malbec, and 10% Petit Verdot is a wonderful example of
the success of Bordeaux varieties on the Wahluke slope. A
bouquet of herbs and smooth palette of dark fruits highlight
this moderately tannic but very approachable and drinkable
red blend. It can be enjoyed on its own but also goes well
with hearty meals and pasta with red sauces.

100% Chardonnay
Price: $16.00 bottle / $172.80 case
This Chardonnay from the Gilbert Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope has a delightful balance of fruit, oak, and acidity that make it a refreshing, medium-bodied wine. It was aged for 11 months in 100% French Oak, of which only 20% was new, allowing for a clean, bright expression of fruit aromatics as well as a rich, smooth mid-palate.

260 cases produced
100% Syrah
Price: $26.00 bottle / $280.80 case

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Released November 2007
312 cases produced
92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah
Price: $26.00 bottle / $280.80 case
This juicy, decadent Cabernet Sauvignon offers an aroma of savory dried fruit and crushed herbs that leads into supple, sweet tannins accompanied by unbridled flavors of blackberry jam, fresh cedar, pipe tobacco, and black licorice.
2005 Malbec
Released April 2008
75 cases produced
100% Malbec
Price: $26.00 bottle / $280.80 case
This Malbec was aged for 22 months in 33% new oak, offering a full-bodied yet balanced wine that showcases the great potential for this variety in Washington State. It opens with aromas of dark Turkish tobacco, fresh-cut cedar, vanilla bean and fresh alpine berries. The lively palate glides over the tongue with juicy, spicy tannins and pervasive glycerin texture that lingers and tingles long after the last sip. It offers complexity in its aromatics and texture while providing a great accompaniment to a wide variety of cuisines. While it can be enjoyed immediately, it will likely age beautifully for 3-7 years.
