Chardonnay Made from grapes grown in the Columbia River Valley, this wine is aged in 80% new French oak barrels and 20% American and Hungarian oak. Subtle aromas of red apple and some vanilla precede a smooth, dry and clean palate – integrating both the oak influence and the grape flavor. A lovely Chardonnay, elegant and refreshing. (6-81602-30750-8)

Pinot Gris Elevated in stainless steel, the nose shows hints of white peach and apple, while the palate flavor is more pear-like. Made from very ripe grapes from Washington State, this wine has a lovely fruitiness with just a hint of residual sugar. (6-81602-50750-2)

Sailors Delight A blend of Syrah, Merlot and Viognier – modeled after the great northern Rhone wines of France – this has spicy, berry infused aromas and flavors. Some red licorice, too. The new oak is just getting integrated. A rather big wine, but pleasurable, too. (6-81602-40750-5)

Merlot A clean nose of plum and cherry, with some toast from the oak. The palate is smooth, rather polished in its flavor expression – again showing plum – and somewhat tight. Delicious right now and should improve nicely with age. (6-81602-10750-4)

Syrah This dark red wine is made from grapes grown in Washington State. It has strong pepper and licorice flavors, rather rich and full-bodied, with hints of raspberry jam. This syrah has some austerity on the finish, and is very promising. (6-81602-11750-3)
