2024 Lonesome Spring Ranch Rosé

$25 / $21.25 / $20

Our 2024 Rosé from Lonesome Spring Ranch captures the spirit of the vintage in vivid, sun-drenched detail. A shimmering pale salmon in the glass, it opens with effusive aromas of wild strawberry, blood orange peel, tangerine zest, and a swirl of dried flowers. The palate is smooth and energetic, with mouthwatering acidity that keeps things lively from start to finish. Flavors of white peach and crisp citrus dominate, but there’s a creamy, lees-driven texture that rounds out the edges beautifully. The finish is clean, bright, and persistent — the kind of wine that disappears faster than you expect. Easygoing but quietly complex, this is summer in a glass.

2024 GAMACHE VINEYARD VIOGNIER

$30 / $25.50 / $24

The 2024 Gamache Vineyard Viognier leaps from the glass with heady aromas of d’Anjou and Asian pear, jasmine blossom, and Meyer lemon curd. On the palate, it’s both supple and vibrant, with clean, concentrated flavors of yellow peach, ripe pear, and cantaloupe. Lees aging in neutral French oak lends a silky texture, but the wine remains focused and lifted throughout. The balance of richness and energy makes this a natural partner at the table — especially with herb-marinated seafood or spicy Asian dishes, where the fruit and floral notes sing in harmony. Elegant, expressive, and quietly powerful, this is a standout Washington Viognier.

2022 Walla Walla Valley Merlot

$55 / $46.75 / $44

The 2022 growing season gave us everything we could have asked for to craft a balanced, energetic Merlot — and this wine feels like a celebration of that fortune. Predominantly sourced from the revered Seven Hills Vineyard, with thoughtful touches from Bacchus and Southwind, this wine brings together vibrancy, richness, and finesse in equal measure. In the glass, it shimmers with a deep ruby core and translucent rim. Aromatics leap out: juicy red cherry, raspberry coulis, pomegranate, and cerise liqueur, layered with subtle herbal notes and a hint of cocoa nib. On the palate, the fruit is fresh and lively at first, evolving into deeper notes of black cherry, baking spice, and espresso. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without harshness, and a lingering finish tinged with vanilla bean and toasted almond beckons sip after sip. It’s a dynamic, mouthwatering Merlot that captures everything we love about Walla Walla Valley fruit.

2022 Phinny Hill Vineyard Cabernet Franc

$55 / $46.75 / $44

Our long-standing love affair with Phinny Hill Cabernet Franc continues with this gorgeous 2022 release. True to vintage form, this wine sings with purity, brightness, and structure, showcasing everything we admire about this incredible site. Deep crimson in the glass, the nose is immediately expressive — ripe red plum, black cherry, dried fig, and a dusting of Herbes de Provence, all tied together with hints of flowers and Earl Grey tea, plus a whisper of graphite. The palate is a vibrant interplay between juicy fruit and savory nuance: tart cherry and plum meet dried thyme, bay leaf, and subtle notes of mocha and cedar. The tannins are refined and chalky, guiding the flavors through a long, harmonious finish. This is a quintessential Phinny Franc — vibrant, expressive, a little wild at the edges, but always polished and endlessly fascinating in the glass.

2022 Phinny Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

$55 / $46.75 / $44

The 2022 Phinny Hill Cabernet Sauvignon may well be the most compelling we’ve bottled to date — a wine that captures the clarity, freshness, and site expression that define this vineyard at its best. Dense, luminous ruby in the glass, it opens aromatically with dried blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, overlaid by hints of fresh sage, leather, and warm spices. The palate brings the power and breadth you expect from Phinny Hill, but tempered by the finesse of the vintage — ripe dark fruits and cassis carried smoothly by vibrant acidity and framed by fine-grained, persistent tannins. Subtle notes of cedar, cocoa powder, and crushed rock emerge on the midpalate and linger through a prolonged, mouthwatering finish. This is a Cabernet that balances richness and restraint beautifully — a worthy standard-bearer for Phinny Hill and a wine we can’t wait to watch evolve over the next decade or more.

2022 BDX

$65 / $55.25 / $52

For the 2022 BDX, we found inspiration in the Right Bank, but the voice of Washington State shines through clearly here — powerful yet nuanced, vivid yet refined. A core of Blackwood Canyon Merlot brings plush texture and vibrancy, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from Bacchus, Seven Hills, and Phinny Hill build layers of depth and structure. In the glass, it’s a striking garnet-red, brilliantly clear. The nose offers an intoxicating blend: blackberry, plum, and black cherry, interwoven with fig, graphite, fennel, violets, and hints of dried tobacco. The palate is sleek and polished, bursting with juicy dark fruits that give way to plush, earthy notes of dark chocolate and cedar. The structure here is impeccably tuned — firm yet graceful tannins frame the entire taste through a lengthy, persistent finish. Energetic yet composed, this BDX may be the most refined and integrated version we’ve crafted yet.
