A blend of Pommard and 115 clones from the Blakeslee Vineyard. Aromas of white truffles, mushrooms, violets and blood orange. Supple texture, vivid acidity and ripe fruit-forward notes of dark cherries, plums and rhubarb.
 

Aromas of dark cherry preserves, exotic spices and a hint of eucalyptus. The mouthfeel is broad and silky with subtle oak spice and soft tannins framing elegant cherries, red plum, cranberry and maple. The lengthy finish is highlighted by seductively sweet vanilla and well balanced acidity.

An initial perfume of English rose petals and fragrant lilacs mingle with complexities of fresh roasted hazelnuts, tilled earth and forest floor. Aeration reveals evocative aromas of Asian spice, anise, local plums, blackberry blossoms and a hint of confection.The palate leads with just-plucked cherries and raspberries, lush black fruits and tangerine peel. The broad mouthfeel has impressive weight and texture and drapes easily over its eloquent structure. Fine tannins coalesce with underlying minerality, leading to a long and seductive finish. Over time the wine is persistent in its evolution towards greater complexity.

A blend of three vineyards from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA and two from the Red Mountain AVA in Washington. The nose opens with waves of black fruits, along with hints of anise, olives and smoke. The palate is medium-bodied and suave with sweet ripe fruit. It has excellent balance and medium length.

A blend of seven different clones. Medium-dark Ruby; ripe, dark-cherry, raspberry and cola with underlying earthiness and minerality. Firm tannic structure with bright acids. Soft on the mid-palate with a medium to long finish.
