2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

Nose of dusty black and red cherries with sarsaparilla. On the palate there is a spectrum of cherries from bright Rainier to Bing to Black cherries with earth and tea notes. The tannins are abundant adding texture and structure to the long sweet finish

2007 Vintage Tasting Notes

It is said that wine is made in the vineyard. Because we purchase our grapes from several vineyard sources, we are able to tap into a variety of soils and micro-climates. This diversity not only offers us many pieces to the puzzle when it comes to blending our wines, it also gives us consistent quality and style each year. Hands off wine making, accentual use of oak, and limited extraction are hallmarks of our style. - the winery
