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.
