Rose of Carmenere, Cabernet Franc, & Primitivo

5/5/2017

Introducing, the release of our most popular wine selections, Noon to 5 PM, Sat & Sun, May 6-7

Details about the new wine:

2016 Rose of Carmenere, Konnowac Vineyard, $18/bottle ($14.40 Wine Club). 171 cases produced. This is a dry, fruit-forward rose, and light in color. A great wine that is versatile enough to pair with sea food, burgers, or Thanksgiving dinner. On the nose are raspberries and lychee with a crisp, clean finish.

2014 Primitivo, Coyote Canyon Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills, $26/bottle ($20.80 Wine Club). 122 cases produced. 2014 was the perfect growing season for this grape. The wine has plenty of body and fruitiness. A touch of oak to round things out, and a beautiful ruby color. Unfortunately, it is our last vintage of this very popular wine.

2014 Cabernet Franc, Coyote Canyon Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills, $29/bottle ($23.20 Wine Club). 123 cases produced. The grapes from this block continue to mature wonderfully. I can't say enough about how beautiful these grapes are just before picking. And the vineyard is always in immaculate shape. There are no detectable "bell pepper" flavors from this hot vintage. If you are a fan of Cab Franc, this is the perfect vintage for you. Drink now, or cellar up to 8 years.

Wine Club Customers: This is NOT one of the two required purchases to satisfy club minimums. However, we hope to see all of you at the release.

Cheers!

After working in several financial institutions, he opened a mortgage brokerage in the early 2000's. This experience proved to be invaluable. When the Winery came to fruition in 2007, the chemistry he learned from his days in college, combined with his knowledge of business were a recipe for success. He is excited about what the future holds, because each vintage continues to be better than the last. A laser like focus and attention to detail have lead to the creation of outstanding wines at a considerable value.
