Our Current Wines

We are completely passionate about French wines. We especially love Rhone and Burgundy wines and we are shaping our wines to be in a true French style here in Woodinville. This has shaped our vision to make older world style wines.  Kind of a "new meets old" style - you might say!

Our Estate Grown Pinot Noir and Puget Sound wines reflect those made in a cooler climate such as Burgundy and the Alsace, while the wines we make from Eastern Washington grapes are inspired by those made in the Loire Valley and the Rhone Valley.

2008 Wahluke Slope Malbec - Sold Out
 $34 bottle

A spicy, herbal nose opens this wine.  Next you’re surprised and treated to a huge juicy mouthful of fruit.  But it’s the incredible pepper finish that really defines this wine.  We’ve been calling this wine “crazy Malbec” ever since we first tasted it.  Don’t confuse it with Argentina—liken it to France—but altogether it’s something different.  A classic Washington state Malbec.

2008 Rattlesnake Hills Cabernet Franc
$26 bottle - Special Price this summer

Richer and fuller-bodied than it’s predecessor, the 2007  opens with ripe plum and cooked blackberries.  Softer tannins make this wine more approachable in its youth.  Bright red fruits fill the mouth, followed by a pleasantly acidic finish.   Drinking well now and will benefit from further aging

2007 Rattlesnake Hills Syrah
 $32 bottle

Smoky and spicy on the nose.  Deep and dark in color, this wine is full of plums and dried red fruits, with a long acidic finish.  The Rattlesnake Hills Syrah perfectly illustrates what a slight elevation gain and low crop levels can bring to bear in terms of structure and acid. Made with 100% Organically Grown Grapes. Certified Salmon Safe. The 2006 vintage received a 91 from Wine Spectator and 89 points from the Wine Advocate. Gold Medal 2010 Seattle Wine Awards.

2007 Red Mountain Syrah
$32 bottle

Jammy and loaded with red raspberries on the nose. The candied fruit continues on the palate and evolves into a long finish. Red Mountain fruit is celebrated for its luscious ripeness and that's exactly what this wine brings to the fore. Silver Medal Seattle Wine Awards.

2007 Wahluke Slope Syrah
$28 bottle

This beautiful 100% Syrah from Sagemoor's Weinbau Vineyard is bright garnet red, with cinnamon and anise on the nose.  It's a little leaner than our other Syrahs - a bit more old-world - with lovely red fruits on the palate - balanced with terrific acidity.  Aged in 50% new French oak, this wine has great mouthfeel and a long finish.
