Primo fruit from McClellan, Pepper Bridge and Seven Hills vineyards gave Richard Funk plenty to run with, and he didn’t drop the ball. Rather, he’s crafted a very elegant Cab that preserves hints of strawberry jam, plums, black cherry and chocolate chips. The acidity is up-front and tannins are eased into the back with silkiness throughout. - Andy Perdue, Wine Press Northwest

The beautiful aromatics of cassis, rich black fruit, and baking spices are a sensory treat, but it is the incredible rich and velvety mouth feel that will captivate you! A true expression of the Walla Walla Valley, this wine is delicious with artfully balanced acidity showing ripe black and ­­­red fruit flavors with notes of cocoa and touch of sweet herb. - the winery
