This year we decided to try a different take on our rose, using a few grapes we haven’t in recent years. The result is a complex, fruity rose that is sure to be a favorite summertime sipper. On the nose lush strawberry, red raspberry and watermelon lead into honeydew, white peach, and a slight earthy component which adds complexity to what some consider and one-dimensional type of wine.

This wine’s pleasant aromas of kiwi, honeydew melon, and nectarine are nicely complemented by a floral component reminiscent of orange blossoms. On the palate, our 2018 Albariño is crisp, clean and light bodied showing ample flavors of pineapple, grapefruit, mango and lime zest that are sure to remind you of a tropical paradise.

This year’s Roussanne-based blend displays pleasing floral notes, backed by stone fruit, and tropical aromas of grapefruit and mango on the nose. A weighty palate filled with tangerine, honeysuckle and Meyer lemon gives way to a bright backbone of acidity, balancing out the wine and providing a sustained and elegant finish.

Hand harvested and whole cluster pressed fruit from our Estate Vineyard and the Crawford Vineyard of the Columbia Valley make up this delightful white wine.  The meticulous care in the vineyard shown by both growers speaks volumes in this wine which showcases a dazzling bouquet of fresh peach and stone-fruit backed by nuances of white grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and gardenias.
