Crisp and clean, this is a stunner of a Provence-style rosé! We let the deeply purple skins of the Cabernet Franc sit on the juice for 8-10 hours, picking up a blush of color before fermenting in stainless steel. Beautifully balanced acid and fruit make this a killer food wine! Great with a goat cheese and pecan salad topped with grilled salmon. Bronze Medal!

This varietal started making a comeback in 1990 after having nearly been wiped out during the great wine blight of the mid-1800s - that's more than a century of teetering on the edge of extinction! Part of this is due to how immensely difficult it is to grow the grape successfully, as a low yield variety that is prone to pests doesn't exactly guarantee a stable harvest. The grapes themselves are small and thick skinned, making for a fiddly fermentation process, and there are several opportunities for mistakes along the way. It's a difficult grape, but it's worth it! The truly unique nature of this complex, full bodied white wine is defined by its intensely aromatic nose, typically a lush medley of stone fruit - nectarines, peaches, apricots. Our winemaker calls it ``a red wine drinker's white wine`` and rightly so, considering its complexity. Excellent paired with Dungeness crab or roasted chicken. Silver Medal!

George and Linda fell in love with the beauty of Sangiovese during a month-long driving tour of Italy and Tuscany in 2014, making our first vintage immediately upon their return. If you've ever had a Brunello, Montepulciano, or Chianti, then you've had Sangiovese! In Washington terroir, the grape becomes a medium-bodied vision of red fruit and beautifully balanced tannins and acids. Terrifically food-friendly! Keep it light with a bit of soppressata and manchego or go hard with a rump roast! Silver Medal.

This is a classic Left Bank Bordeaux-style blend, meaning that it's predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot in descending order. George and Linda have been making an approximation of this blend since our start in 2003 - in fact, George refers to it as our flagship wine as much for our history with it as for its incredible flexibility. Making a complex cassoulet? Absolutely. Bringing a bottle to a grill out? Can't go wrong. Host gift? You must really like them. Opening by itself? It stands alone but doesn't overpower. All in all, a good blend fills the holes that other wines may leave behind.

Originally from France but now often recognized in the same breath as Argentina, Malbec is a finicky grape with promise of a robust profile. Thin skinned with a predilection towards ailments, Malbec grapes require sun above all else and handle cold very poorly, which makes summer in Eastern Washington an ideal climate.

Done right, Malbec unfolds in your mouth like a luxurious silk shawl! Our ``Maverick`` is plummy and dense, full bodied with dark fruit and a touch of meatiness. Pair with a juicy ribeye and chimichurri potatoes! Silver Medal!

A question we're often asked is what exactly the specialty of the Washington wine industry is! This is a tricky one to answer because our state's complex geological history of racy glaciers and spitfire volcanos has left us a legacy of absolutely rocking terroir. While all wines reflect terroir, Syrah corners tightly, metaphorically speaking. This combined with the hot summer days and cool nights of Eastern Washington results in a wine with the ripe fruit flavors so typical of the New World style woven seamlessly into the structure and fresh, dense core of Old World vintages. You could definitely wave Syrah over your head as a Washington specialty. Give this a try with triple cream brie or prime rib - you'll be thrilled! Silver Medal!

We're thrilled to have this back in the tasting room after five years without, and as a Silver medal winner at that! The ``Black Pearl!`` is bright and berry-forward with a full body and plenty of chew. If you have a little time to kill, consider pairing with a mountain of prime rib!
