We’ve crafted Cinsault Red off and on for the past decade, and it remains a perennial favorite. Sourced from a 1.7-acre block perched on one of the fractured basalt benches of Wallula Gap Vineyard, these mature grapes overlook the Columbia River and deliver remarkable character. At the winery, they’re foot-stomped whole cluster and fermented in stainless steel for twelve days before aging in mostly once-used barrels for twelve months. Pale ruby in color, the wine surprises with aromas and flavors of fresh blueberry, wild rosemary, and brambly red fruit, layered with a subtle savory note. Soft tannins, bright acidity, and a mineral-driven backbone bring balance and finesse—making this wine a joy to drink now and one to cellar through 2035 (or beyond). It also makes a wonderfully refreshing chilled red for warmer seasons, offering a vibrant and versatile option for spring and summer sipping.

Merlot is BACK and we think this 2023 vintage from Stillwater Creek and Ciel du Cheval vineyards blends all the best features of this classic Bordeaux varietal. Red raspberry, black currant, and black pepper delight with a vibrance and elegance that only Merlot can deliver. Raise a glass on its own or pair the 2023 Merlot with tomato bisque, mushroom dishes, and homemade spaghetti and meatballs. Cin Cin!

A GSM blend features Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre – iconic grapes famously grown in the Côtes du Rhône region of France. We think you’ll agree that Washington State has established a legacy of producing world class wines showcasing these three varietals that thrive in the vineyards of Eastern Washington. Blending grapes that span the slope of Red Mountain, from Quintessence Vineyard all the way up to the thirty-six degree, rocky terrain of Shaw Ridge Vineyard, our 2022 Bramble Bump GSM delights the senses. Blackberry and cherry aromas transition to decadent fruit flavor with subtle spice, reminiscent of garden-grown rosemary and fresh ground pepper. A crowd-pleaser that pairs well with a wide range of cuisines – grilled meats, traditional paella, and fresh pasta dishes, the 2022 Bramble Bump GSM possesses versatility and panache at an excellent value. Cheers! Let us know how YOU enjoy this easy-drinking (yet elegant!) red blend.

Perhaps the wine that best summarizes John’s winemaking style and commitment to family, each vintage of Tre Fanciulli is truly a special wine. An Italian expression meaning “three treasured boys”, Tre Fanciulli is aptly named in honor of John and Peggy’s three beloved sons – Jack, Tommy & Joe – and each son represents a grape variety in the blend. The 2022 vintage is 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and 23% Syrah and is composed of 100% Red Mountain fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon from Shaw Vineyard and Merlot and Syrah from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard create a premium red blend expressing aromas of vanilla and cherry and features an incredible balance of bold red fruit, approachable tannins, and a savory, rich finish.

Perhaps one of Washington’s hidden wine treasures, Petit Verdot berries are small with thick black skins, lending rich color and assertive tannin structure to wines - a big wine from a tiny berry! Aromas of violet, black currants and vanilla immediately captivate the nose of this inky dark wine. On the palate, blackberry, dark cherry, and earthy minerality create a full-bodied experience while a classically bold tannin structure evolves into a memorable finish.The 2022 Petit Verdot is ready to drink now and will age well. Cheers!
