A small family winery (Mike, Gale, Amanda, Angela and Matt) that produces Rhône-style red and white wines from two vineyard properties in the Walla Walla Valley. They produce wines only from varietals that they love and farm themselves. From their first vintage in 2007, the wines have been remarkable with a consistent complexity, depth of flavour, finish and distinctive terroir. Almost everything they do is by hand, planting each vine in the vineyards, trellising, pruning, dropping fruit and then picking and sorting the berries at harvest. 

The “Foothills in the Sun” vineyard is at the base of the Blue Mountains on the Washington/Oregon border. The vineyard is planted with Syrah, Viognier, a little bit of Cabernet Sauvignon and is one of the highest elevation vineyards in Washington. The soils consist of deep silty loam, with small amounts of clay, iron and pockets of rocks. 

Expect to find savoury notes of wild game, morel mushrooms, rare meats and black and white pepper on the nose. There is a warmth of terroir to this wine, revealing whiffs of ripe black fruits, dried sweet herbs and black olive tapenade which flow into the lengthy finish. This is a modern wine that speaks to the classic, old world style which will last in bottle for years to come. 

 Ideal with braised, herb spiced venison.
