Wines from the famed Red Willow Vineyard are often some of the most distinctive produced in the state. Those who have been lucky enough to visit the site may immediately be transported back by this wine and its expansive scents and flavors of juicy red cherries, black currants, and blackberries, accompanied by hints of cedar and sagebrush, all carried seamlessly from start to finish by the mineral core and fine-grained structure characteristic of Red Willow. Named after one of the blocks from which these grapes were sourced (which was itself named after grower Mike Sauer’s mother), this wine is intense while still light and lively on the palate, finishing long after you swallow with lingering darker fruits and eastern-Washington desert aromatics.

Merlot was one of the first varietals to put Washington State on the world wine map, and this vintage of our Merlot once again shows why it is still among the best our state has to offer.

Those same influences carry through to the palate where they are joined by juicy blueberries from the Malbec in the blend. Mouthwatering acidity and supple tannins suggest superb age-ability and lead to a long finish. Pair this medium-bodied and balanced Merlot with an herb-crusted rack of lamb, prosciutto, or your favorite strong and creamy cheese.

Once again in 2022, two different clones of Pinot Noir grapes from Pine Brake Vineyard north of Zillah give our Sparkling Rosé its characteristic pale cantaloupe color. This year the aromas include strawberry and ripe melons, with a hint of orange rind as the wine warms a bit in the glass. The fine mousse of bubbles created using the traditional champagne method carries the wonderfully balanced flavors of strawberries, pink grapefruit and crisp nectarines forward into the delicate finish, which closes with hints of minerality and citrus cream-sickle. Perfectly paired with a stone fruit or citrus dessert, this bubbly will also complement any delicate seafood. Cheers!
One of our more consistent blends from year to year, our 2024 Mélange Blanc opens with the now familiar
combination of aromas and flavors of melons, pears, honeycomb, and hints of tea from the Roussanne; stone fruits,
white flowers, citrus and minerality from the Viognier; and classic apples and creamy mouthfeel from the Chardonnay.
Crisp and agile on the palate, yet full-bodied from barrel fermentation, Mélange Blanc appeals directly to your inner
"white wine lover” and is a luscious accompaniment to dishes as varied as Duck Breast, Dungeness crab dip, or grilled
halibut.
Varietals: 62% Roussanne, 24% Viognier, 14% Chardonnay
