We have gone back to being amateur winemakers. You cannot buy wine from us anymore.
I grow mainly two grapes. Pinot and Chardonnay. The wines that we make are an expression of our unique terroir in the Puget Sound AVA. The intensity of varietal character is found almost nowhere else in the world.
For Pinot I usually barrel age my reds for about 14 months in once used French oak barrels. My Chardonnay is aged in stainless on the lees for a few months and goes through malolactic fermentation.
I have made a Rose’ from my pinot grapes and that also makes great wine. I have about 50 Muller Thurgau vines that should be producing in a couple of years. I also have about 75 other red and white grapes that I experiment with and I just mix them all together to make a small batch of wine.
