A non-traditional style of Gewurztraminer that was barrel-fermented until bone-dry in neutral French Oak.
The initial flavors are powerful red fruits such as currants, cranberry and ripe raspberry. Classic Syrah elements such as cracked pepper, spice and a hint of smoke and game are noticeable after the glass is put down and the palate clears.
This 2007 Red Wine is 90% Syrah, 5% Cabernet and 5% Merlot.
Patina Vineyard Syrah is a single vineyard, 100% Syrah from Walla Walla. Chocolate, tobacco and rumcake open on the nose, with delicate rose petal and lavender notes lingering in the vapors.
Stellar Syrah is a single vineyard, 100% Syrah from our estate vineyard. This wine opens with heady aromas of spice, white pepper and smoke, combined with a powerful blast of ripe fruit.
This is a lush, soft style of Cabernet. It opens with notes of blueberry and currant, but it's more heavily stacked toward dark fruit, finishing with ripe plum and black cherry.
A Merlot for Cab lovers. It's very structured. Initially you taste currant and raspberry, but then the substantial acidic platform and tannic structure carries you into clove and spice. It's a very powerful wine.
This Viognier landed on its feet perfectly with tropical peach and mango, and with a large dose of honeysuckle. For a Viognier, it has a soft, lovely mouthfeel and a clean, acidic balanced finish.

A wine of the Week! This wine leans toward the elegant side with a light aroma of vanilla, floral perfume and cherry/berry. The palate offers similar flavors with notes of citrus and dark chocolate as well.
