Intense, opulent, elegant, and meaty with red and black cherry fruit. Made with only neutral oak barrels (no new oak). Fuller-bodied, yet only 13% abv.
Distinctive, wild and mysterious, with strength, grace, aroma and flavor. Syrah lovers will really enjoy this wine. 100% whole-cluster and aged 12 months in neutral French oak barrels. 13% abv.
Burgundian-style Pinot packed with flavor, texture and vibrancy, with fine ripe tannins and restrained use of French oak. Light-bodied but surprisingly potent and aromatic. 12.7% abv.
- Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 2025 on the 2021 vintage - 92pts.
Very reminiscent of Loire Valley cab franc. Bright raspberry and rhubarb, light on its feet, but with an earthiness and satisfying tannic structure. 11.5% abv.
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.
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.
