All grapes are handpicked and handsorted to ensure that only the best grapes are used. We ferment the fruit in small open-top containers no taller than they are wide to extract greater flavor and color by having more juice in contact with the grape skins. After gently pressing the wine from the skins, the wine ages in small oak barrels for twenty months. During barrel aging we gravity rack the wine off its lees with a siphon.

2005 Red Mountain Red Wine
This wine, which is our 3rd release of a Red Mountain appellation wine, is 100% from Red Mountain grapes. The wine is immensely satisfying and masculine yet smooth, like a fine, comfortable, old leather chair. Various dark fruit flavors along with aromas of cedar, smoke and classic Red Mountain mineralness dominate the nose and palate. In general, the 2005 vintage wines from Washington State show themselves to be of exceptionally high quality. We believe our 2005 Red Mountain wine to be a leading example of the 2005 vintage, through its fruit character, intensity and overall balance.

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
Our 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon is pleasing from the start - its dark plumy color draws your eye and heightens your interest. Swirl the wine around the glass to release the aromas and smell the combination of intense, dark fruits; Red Mountain mineral aromas; sweet spiciness; and a faint hint of characteristic Cabernet Sauvignon menthol. Take a sip and feel the wine’s smooth grip, balance and velvetiness on the palate from the moment the wine hits your tongue through the long finish.

2005 Merlot
Our 2005 Merlot is a delightful garden of flavors - there are floral hints of geranium and rose wrapped up with darker red fruits around a core of characteristic Red Mountain mineralness. This wine’s weight, balance and pervasive fruit character on the nose, palate and finish are further proofs towards the generally held belief that 2005 will prove to be one of Washington’s best.
