50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Carménère
Alder Ridge, Otis, Kiona Vineyards, Columbia Valley
Bottled January 2017, 189 cases
Upfront aromas of root beer, black cherry, and black currant are given depth with notes of chocolate and roasted green pepper. Tasting reveals a soft texture of more root beer, milk chocolate, some brighter cherry and, well, imagine hard raspberry candies with a spicy filling. Smooth tannins. A true melding where the sum is more than the parts.

100% Carménère,
Kiona Vineyard, Red Mountain
Bottled July 2017, 138 cases
Typical of Red Mountain, this wine has deeply concentrated berry aromas and flavors. Blackberry jam, raspberry syrup, a touch of blueberry along with mulling spices on the nose follow on the palate along with a good bit of white pepper and herbal lushness. Beautifully balanced and polished tannins makes this wine easy to drink now or for many years to come.

Coyote Canyon, Corvus, Verhey, Alder Ridge Vineyards
Columbia Valley
Bottled July 2017, 308 cases
Deep and dark. Aromas of black fruit, stewed plums and whiffs of vanilla and cedar wood. A complex blend, it brings to the palate a soft and balanced mouthful of black cherry, dark plums, some cinnamon with sweet spice, and a touch of cigar box. This is really a soulful wine. Take to the drawing room and reflect.

60% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah
Upland, Verhey Vineyards
Bottled July 2017, 168 cases
Opening with the quieter aromas of fig, sage and straw with some root beer and black cherry, the flavors range from savory herbs, orange pith and spicy cherry to milk chocolate and a touch of smoked meat. Great structure with ample tannins and acidity that belie the soft approach. A long finish of game and sweet spiced berries make it, once again, magical.

44% Syrah, 43% Grenache, 13% Cinsault
Walla Walla Valley
Bottled February 2019, 112 cases.
"Refreshing and light, the new Leggiero rosé makes its debut with aromatics of white rose petals, yellow plum and a streak of minerality. Crisp on the palate, the wine shows off flavors of watermelon, tangerine and kiwi. Finishes long with citrus zest all mixed up with red pie cherry and peach. Just the best on a summer day!"

92 points, The Wine Panel
On the nose cherries, dark plum and ripe blackberry mingle with some sweet strawberry and spice aromas. On the palate black cherry, blueberry, and a little more strawberry, (yes, bubblegum!) comes through. With dried savory herbs and bold tannins, this is an assertive wine. Assert yourself accordingly.

50% Malbec, 50% Petite Sirah
Corvus and Verhey Vineyards
Columbia Valley
Bottled July 2017, 140 cases
This most unusual blend once again delights the senses with enticing aromas of raspberry, sweet cherry, chocolate and whiffs of caramel and dried thyme. This leads to smooth flavors of black cherry, vanilla, some light red fruit, more chocolate, easy tannins, and some clove spiciness in a nice dry finish. Need we say more?
SOLD OUT
100% Petite Sirah
Corvus Vineyard, Red Mountain
Bottled July 2017, 193 cases
Northwest Cellars vintner Robert Delf adds another example with this remarkable Petite Sirah, which shows a purity of dark fruit reminiscent of blackberry jam and black cherry preserves with a whiff of tar. Those rich tones are matched on the palate that brings along a pleasing structure of espresso tannins. Those who can be turned off by the massive tannins and high alcohol often associated with PS will find neither attribute in this relatively easy drinker.

100% Petit Verdot
Corvus Vineyard, Red Mountain
Bottled 42 cases, July 2017
"Opens up to whiffs of dark dried fruits with hints of plum and black currant, graphite and old wood. These are replayed on the palate, with the addition of spicy tannins, great acidity, and a touch of bright red cherry. It's savory with cinnamon and cigar and if you like a big dry wine that is downright elegant, this is your baby."
