1. 2013 Waterbrook Red Mountain Cabernet (SOLD OUT): Sourced from the famed Red Mountain AVA, this Cabernet has black plum and leather on the nose with dark fruit flavors of dried cherry, plum and blackberry on the palate. The rich, long finish is interlaced with hints of anise.

2. 2013 Tribute Red BROWNE family Vineyards Columbia Valley: This silky red blend offers big fruit flavors and well-integrated, velvety tannins. Aromatics of pipe tobacco, leather and dark fruit layer with ripe boysenberry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The finish lingers with blackberry jam and toasty, graphite back notes. Pair with rosemary and peppercorn-crusted pork loin, lamb burgers or a grilled Portobello sandwich.

3. 2014 Red O.S Winery Columbia Valley: Youthful ruby red color foreshadows the red fruit aromas of strawberry and raspberry after a fresh rain. Velvety soft on the palette with bright acidity that loves to be taken to dinner or onto the deck for barbeque. Bing cherry, Marionberry, coffee and anise fill your mouth to mingle and compliment meals of roasted lamb or beef. 44% Cabernet Franc, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot

4. 2014 JM Cellars Syrah Boushey Vineyard: Dick and Luanne Boushey are recognized for growing exceptional fruit at their vineyard in Grandview, Washington.  We are privileged to be one of a select group of wineries able to source Boushey Vineyard Syrah.  With close attention, stressing the vines in dry, hot, rocky soil can produce superior Syrah;

Boushey Vineyard has the perfect team and microclimate to consistently grow nationally recognized Syrah. JM’s 2014 Boushey Syrah is 100% clone 174 Syrah.  Barrel aged in 50% new oak for 16 months (half Russian and half French), we recently featured this wine at a special dinner to honor Dick and Luanne. We were pleased with all the positive feedback from those early tasters and expect it to be a fan-favorite as with our past vintages of Boushey Vineyard Syrah.

5. 2013 The Pines 1852 Merlot, Volcano Ridge Vineyard, Columbia Gorge:  Our Merlot is already tasting fantastic. It displays full, lush aromas of blueberry, strawberry and a hint of vanilla. This silky, garnet-colored Merlot is filled with flavors of raspberry, red currant, and a hint of white pepper on the back palate. Pair with your favorite grilled meat, or pasta.

6. 2014 Januik Red Wine, Columbia Valley: 74% Cabernet Sauvignon; 13% Merlot; 8% Syrah; 3% Cabernet Franc; 2% Malbec; This wine is made from a short list of vineyards we consider to be among the best in the state.  The fruit for the 2012 Columbia Valley Red Wine is sourced from Ciel du Cheval, Champoux, Lady Hawk, Shaw, Alder Ridge and Weinbau vineyards. The nose is filled with vibrant dark fruit, cassis and mocha notes. Upon tasting, the wine is brimming with fresh berry and cherry flavors. A cohesive and balanced mid-palate follows into a nice supple finish.

7. 2012 Eight Bells Syrah 8 Clones, Red Willow Vineyard, Yakima: Blended with 4% Viognier and 1% Grenache, this fragrant offering displays aromas of fresh flowers, herbs, green olive, huckleberry and smoked meat. The palate is ripe and fruit-forward, a bit balled up in the middle right now but showing a pleasing sense of purity with length to match. Give it time to come into its own.

8. 2009 Nefarious Cellars Defaince Vineyard (estate grown) Viognier: There is a lovely balance to this Viognier, and a sense that these cool-climate grapes were not pushed too far. The winemaker, happily, chose to make the wine that the vineyard gave her. Delicate and layered, with paper-thin suggestions of citrus rind, grapefruit and white peach. Still tightly knit, this wine very slowly unwinds long after you've swallowed that first sip or two. 

9. 2015 Drouhin Chablis:A dry and fruity wine, easy to drink. Its colour is pale gold with greenish hues. Very fresh aromas reminiscent of citrus (lemon or grapefruit); small pleasant touches of fern or coriander are found as well. On the palate, dry and fruity, with mineral notes. Pleasant and long aftertaste. The wines deliver superb aromas. They are rich, suppple and offer a long aftertaste.
The 2015 vintage is a faithful expression of the briny qualities associated with this appellation.

10: 2013 Novelty Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley: Generous, supple and focused, this aromatic Cabernet Sauvignon offers wild blackberries, ripe cherries and vanilla spice in the glass and on the palate, gaining intensity across a textured finish. Review: Vinous / Antonio Galloni - "Bright, dark red. Deep, ripe aromas of black cherry, cassis, bitter chocolate, menthol and tobacco. Fine-grained, vinous and intense, boasting lovely definition and inner-mouth lift to its dark berry, mint and fresh herb flavors. An excellent entry-level, varietally accurate Cabernet with restrained sweetness and very good length. Tannins are firm but fine."

11: 2013 Waterbrook Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley: Cocoa and dark fruit aromatics are followed by oaky, fruit-driven flavors such as black plums. A healthy grip of tannins and balanced acidity make this wine full-bodied, with a long, lingering finish that shows flavors of coffee, currant, leather and spice. Varietal Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc Appellation: Columbia Valley.

12. 2013 Nine Points Chardonnay: Great for table or patio. Perfect with herbed fish, vegetables and mushrooms.
