Our 2022 Grenache Rosé is a crisp wine with a refreshing, light style. In the glass, this wine shows the color of pink tulle. Aromas of cherry and sugared cranberry greet the nose while juicy notes of strawberry and watermelon meet the palate. A touch of effervescence gives the wine a buoyant, vibrant quality. Hints of raspberry pull through the long finish.

Mountain and benchland vineyards deliver a layered wine with structure, fruit intensity and finesse. Layers of vanilla and cassis are complemented by hints of cedar and a dusty finish on the palate. <br><br> The 2021 growing season marked a much-welcome return to ideal. Winter rains quenched the soil, setting the stage for dry weather the rest of the season. Over the summer, conditions stayed uneventful and mild, giving the grapes the luxury of hanging on the vine. Harvest began early, producing low yields of small berries with intense flavor concentration and optimal ripeness. <br><br> After early morning harvesting, the grapes were gently destemmed and put into upright tanks to cold soak for up to three days. To further extract flavor and varietal character, the wine was given pump-overs three times a day and kept on skins for 15 to 20 days of maceration time. The wine was then transferred to French (25% new) oak barrels for a period of 18 months.

Our 2020 Weinbau Vineyard Merlot captures the complexity the Wahluke Slope is famous for producing. The nose is an intriguing mix of wild berry with Kalamata olive brine. This wine offers firm tannins that give the mouthfeel a big, round presence and oak aging that imparts a taut structure. Pronounced notes of blackberry, black plum and wild blueberry give our Merlot a big fruit presence. The finish is long and decadent with a layer of toasted oak and caramelized sugar. <br><br> <b>About Weinbau Vineyard</b><br> The grapes for our Merlot were harvested from wonderful old vines in blocks 54, 193 and 194 of Weinbau Vineyard, a legendary vineyard located on Washington’s Wahluke Slope. Known for its dry warm climate, Wahluke Slope allows winemaking nearly complete control of irrigation and ripening. Mineral-rich, volcanic silty loess soil provides excellent drainage and imparts complexity to the wine.

Our 2021 Buttery Chardonnay is a velvety, luscious white wine from the California coast. Aromas of lemon meringue and buttercream lift from the glass. Bright notes of apple and pear meet hints of warm vanilla with a dash of spice on the finish.

The most widely planted white wine grape in California, Chardonnay is expressed in many different styles due to the state’s varied regions. Microclimates and unique soil types allow us to source Chardonnay that tell us about place, helping us achieve our goal of showing what California has to offer. Before everything is blended, each lot expresses where it comes from—some are acid-forward and mineral-focused, while others are robust, ripe and fruit-forward. But through blending trials, we’re able to bring them together and form a piece of liquid art. Sourced from the Russian River Valley, Atlas Peak, Santa Maria Valley and other prestigious AVAs across the state, Mannequin is our manifestation of California Chardonnay. <br><br> <b>WINEMAKER’S NOTES</b><br> A blinding white gold and a chartreuse shimmer in the glass, the 2021 Mannequin opens with opulent, beguiling aromatics. Ripe golden apple, concentrated jasmine, citrus notes and a touch of cream and fresh brioche emerge. The entry is bright yet with a bit of weight; similar aromatic notes come through on the palate supplemented by rich honeydew and green apple. Tempered by a prominent vein of acidity, the wine closes at length with a seamless silk-like quality, finishing with pleasing minerality

Our 2021 Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon is a big, full-bodied wine brimming with aromas of blackberry pie. The mouthfeel is round with layers of wild brambleberry accented with notes of toasted oak and caramel. Structured tannins deliver subtle hints of warm spice and dried herbs on the finish.

Our 2022 California Pinot Gris is delightfully aromatic, approachable and bright. Generous aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle offer a fragrant, floral introduction, while the crisp and inviting palate is highlighted by layered hints of white peach, pear, kiwifruit and lime zest. A fleshy mid-palate with vibrant citrus and mango characteristics adds depth before the crisp, mouth-watering finish. The wine’s lively acidity makes it an ideal partner for food. Try this alongside a green mango salad, Thai chicken kabobs or spicy grilled shrimp.

This expressive blend features intense aromas of red and black berries, plums and dark cherries underscored by notes of lavender. The palate is smooth and rich with notes of dark fruit, bramble berries and a touch of dried eucalyptus and warm spice on a lingering finish.
