A singular Sauv Blanc coming from a Field Blend of 8 clones of the grape. Inspired by Sancerre, but reflecting the unique terroir at Red Willow vineyard. Neutral French oak barrel fermented. More lemon than grapefruit. Crisp, medium-bodied and textured by the skin contact and barrel fermentation. We've been working with the vineyard since 2011 and the 2023 is one of our best vintages. Delicious. Pairing suggestion: Asparugus soup, oysters, salads.
White wine from Cabernet Franc. Whole-cluster cabernet franc given a brief period of skin-contact and pressed into tank for fermentation on indigenous yeast. Medium acidity with flavors of pear and thyme. Reminiscent of the 2021 vintage.
Estate-grown, Certified Organic, dry-farmed and own-rooted grapes. This is our pride and joy, and where we spend a lot of time working during the growing season. Fermented in neutral French oak barrels, with a few hours of skin contact, it has a little more heft and complexity than the more citrusy 2022 vintage. Pair with turkey, roasted Brussels sprouts, and Basil Pesto.
This is our second vintage of Chardonnay from Oak Ridge vineyard (dry-farmed and Certified Organic) which sits at 1,400' elevation in the Columbia Gorge. This vintage was fermented entirely in neutral French oak barrels and shows vibrant lemon and a stony minerality. Medium bodied and Chablis-like.
