This is the eighth vintage of this wine, which has garnered a strong following. The 2022 sold out faster than expected! This wine is savory and drier than the slightly riper and wilder than the 2022 vintage because it was picked a little earlier, resulting in a more subtle skin-contact wine. This vintage is very food-friendly.
A singular Sauv Blanc coming from a Field Blend of 8 clones of the grape. Inspired by Sancerre, but reflecting the unique terroir at Red Willow vineyard. Neutral French oak barrel fermented. More lemon than grapefruit. Crisp, medium-bodied, and herbacious. We've been working with the vineyard since 2011. Pairing suggestion: Asparugus soup, oysters, salads.
White wine from Cabernet Franc, where whole-cluster cabernet franc grapes were pressed into tank for fermentation on indigenous yeast. Medium plus acidity with flavors of pear and thyme.
Estate-grown, Certified Organic, dry-farmed and own-rooted grapes. This is our pride and joy, and where we spend a lot of time working during the growing season. Fermented in neutral French oak barrels, with a few hours of skin contact, it has a little more heft and complexity than the more citrusy 2022 vintage. Pair with turkey, roasted Brussels sprouts, and Basil Pesto.
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.
This is our second vintage of Chardonnay from Oak Ridge vineyard (dry-farmed and Certified Organic) which sits at 1,400' elevation in the Columbia Gorge. This vintage was fermented entirely in neutral French oak barrels and shows vibrant lemon and a stony minerality. Medium bodied and Chablis-like.
Grower-champagne-level Pet Nat with incredible acidity, flavor and minerality. A food-pairing delight. This sparkling wine made with Côt (aka Malbec) grapes from the same vineyard as our Dineen Côt red wine. It's made using an ancient process called Méthode Ancestral, where juice is whole-cluster pressed with brief skin-contact, and bottled just before primary fermentation is finished. Fermentation finishes in bottle, producing natural CO2. After 12 months the wine is disgorged to remove yeast sediment. 100% naturally made, no yeast or SO2 added, unfined, and unfiltered.
