Cru Beaujolais meets Chinon. The ultimate summer red wine. Light-bodied, aromatic, and even chillable, but with intense fruit from the carbonic maceration, along with decent tannic structure and an underlying earthiness.

Wine-club only - Field Blend of red grapes from our estate vineyard on Underwood Mountain, consisting of Pinot, Syrah, Cab Sauv, Merlot and Zwiegelt. Beautiful and wild flavors of red and black cherry, chalky tannins, and mountain herbs.
Our Dineen Cot is a 100% whole cluster wine that was initially inspired by the Clos Roche Blanche vineyard and wines in the Touraine region of Loire Valley. The early pick date, the partial carbonic treatment for fermentation, and the terroir of Dineen vineyard all combine together to take this wine on its own journey and have it come out as something old-world, exotic, and entirely unique.
From the vineyard that we started with in 2011. Mostly destemmed whole-berry fermentation with 20% whole-cluster. Bright raspberry and rhubarb, light on its feet, but with an earthiness, medium plus acidity and underlying tannic structure. Versatile food pairing wine, especially with beef, roast chicken, and tomatoes.
We've been making wine from the grape known initially as Cot (aka Malbec) since 2013, starting with grapes from Dineen Vineyard. Our style stemmed from an interest in Loire Valley versions of the wine. After a couple of years sourcing from Dineen, we went on the search for another vineyard that would show another side of the same grape, and in the 2016 vintage, we started working with Cot from famed Yakima grower Dick Boushey. The grapes come from his property in Sunnyside, WA, which sits at the top of a long, steep road that leads up to his house. This wine differs significantly from the Dineen version, with more fruit, structure, and acidity. Also, this wine has had ample time to age and is showing beautifully. It is easily my favorite vintage of the Boushey Vineyard Cot. And this wine can hold up to spicy meats thanks to its higher acidity and fruit center. Suggested pairing: Pork Chile Verde.
Burgundian-style Pinot packed with flavor, texture and vibrancy, with fine ripe tannins and restrained use of French oak. The 2021 vintage of Oak Ridge was one of our favorites, but this vintage shows another side, a bit deeper, darker, and bolder in flavor without sacrificing vibrancy. We feel like it's another beautiful vintage of the wine. Suggested pairing: Thanksgiving dinner with salmon or roast turkey.
Burgundian-style Pinot packed with flavor, texture and vibrancy, with fine ripe tannins and restrained use of French oak. Perfect pairing with roasted salmon, mushrooms and poultry.
Red Willow vineyard is the most Western vineyard in Yakima Valley and where the first Syrah in Washington state was planted, over 40 years ago, at a steep hillside site called the Chapel Block, inspired by a famous Chapel in Hermitage in northern Rhone. Syrah grown there produces a very distinctive and powerful style of Syrah. The 2020 vintage is our favorite so far from the vineyard, showing the distinctive Red Willow aromatics of floral and game on the nose, along with a structured, blackberry and chalky minerality on the pallet. Its a graceful wine that shows how we use our lower alcohol approach to the pick, along with a whole-cluster fermentation, to retain the grape's natural acidity and bring a spicy intensity to the wine. 100% whole-cluster and aged 12 months in neutral French oak barrels. Native fermentation. Unfiltered.
