2022 Lonesome Spring Ranch Rosé

$25 / $21.25 / $20

Our 2022 Lonesome Spring Ranch Vineyard Rosé is a pretty, glistening pink in the glass, with plentiful aromas of strawberry, dried flowers, red apple skin, pink grapefruit, and wet stones. On the palate it’s bright, nimble, and crisp, with a vibrant acidity and an incredibly smooth texture. Strawberry, apple skin, pink grapefruit, and watermelon all make appearances on the palate, with a long, lovely finish. You’ll keep coming back for sip after sip. Enjoy this versatile Rosé with any number of white meats or seafood off the grill, or sip it all on its own on a warm summer evening on the back deck.

2022 Les Collines Vineyard Grenache Blanc

$30 / $25.50 / $24

This debut release from a new planting at the iconic Les Collines Vineyard is an exciting new addition to our lineup. This is sleeker, racier stuff than the Viognier, with a nose full of bosc pear, lime zest, green plum, and fennel seed. The palate is what really excites, with a clean complexity marrying brightness with silkiness, and flavors of candied lemon peel, honeydew, and exotic spices. This wine refreshes and intrigues in equal measure, and has set the bar high for what we can expect from this wonderful block of fruit in the years ahead.

2022 Gamache VIneyard Viognier

$30 / $25.50 / $24

The 2022 Gamache Vineyard Viognier follows in the illustrious footsteps of our first four vintages from this fantastic vineyard block. In the glass it’s an iridescent light gold, with a nose of Asian pear, jasmine flower, honeysuckle, lemon pith, and hints of nectarine and yellow peach. On the palate, the pear carries through, with slightly creamier note of lemon curd and stone fruits. The minerality so characteristic of this vineyard block spreads delicately across your palate and leaves you with a long, lingering finish. As always, this is a versatile wine, enjoyable with grilled seafood or poultry, a wide variety of cheeses, or just in a glass all by itself.

2020 Walla Walla Valley Merlot

$55 / $46.75 / $44

Block 33E at Seven Hills Vineyard once again forms the backbone of this wine, and in 2020 the overall character of this wine tends to be darker and slightly more brooding than previous incarnations. First and foremost, please give this wine plenty of air in its youth — it is a bit shy at release, but after a chance to breathe it rewards patience! A rich nose of chocolate-covered dark cherry and black raspberry plays with fun herbal notes. The palate brings clean brightness at first taste, with the dark fruits from the nose quickly taking hold. The tannins are slightly more assertive than our previous Merlot releases, but ease into balance with a little aeration, and the wine progresses into a persistent and pleasing finish tinged with notes of mocha. As always, we most enjoy the energy this wine brings with every taste.

2020 Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Franc

$55 / $46.75 / $44

With Phinny Hill Franc out of commission this year, we were lucky to have two fun sources to play with here in Walla Walla. This is a different beast from Phinny, bringing more of the herbaceous quality associated with Cabernet Franc. The nose brings red fruit, pretty violet flowers, and notes of mint and thyme. It’s very smooth and supple on the palate, with dusty tannins providing structure underneath luscious red cherry and currant and dried cranberry. On the finish, notes emerge of the rocky, mineral-rich terroir of the Resurgent Vineyard site, bringing wonderful intrigue to the lingering finish. Enjoy this once-only wine; Phinny Franc returns in 2021!

2020 Phinny Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

$55 / $46.75 / $44

While the Phinny Hill Cab Franc got beaten up by smoke, the Cabernet Sauvignon could not have been more different. Our second iteration of a Phinny-designated Cab exceeds the first, with stunning, classical Cabernet notes on the nose — red currant, cherry, leather, and delicate herbs with just a hint of barrel sweetness. On the palate it’s elegant, pure, powerful but nuanced, with lush, polished tannins on the front, mid, and back palate, all offset with fresh, pretty acidity. Layers of fruit, herb, tannin, and minerality persist through a long, lingering finish. This is what Cabernet Sauvignon can and should be in Washington state. Enjoy this wine now and for many years to come.

2020 BDX

$65 / $55.25 / $52

In year two of this “blending playground” for us, we ended up lacking several tools we expect to have, but that didn’t stop us from landing on a very special wine. It sings in every phase of your enjoyment, from first sniff to lingering finish. Dark, vibrant fruits, herbs and mocha drive an engrossing, opulent nose. Similar notes fill the beautiful palate, which is intense but never overwhelming — fruit, acid, structure, barrel all combine into a deeply satisfying and intriguing wine. One of the favorite red wines we’ve produced, and we can’t wait to watch it evolve.
