Columbia Valley2018 Limited Release Cinsaut
The best part of the Limited Release program is the freedom to experiment! Instead of aging our 2018 Cinsaut in multiple small barrels, I decided to put about half into one giant oak tank – and I love the result! The delicate red fruit is pure and sweet with an added boost of freshness.- Yakima Valley
2017 Limited Release Syrano Syrah
Syrah might be my favorite red variety – it proudly trumpets its terroir, and also responds to any technique orchestrated by the winemaker. I chose three cool Yakima Valley vineyards that retain acidity and fresh red fruit, and treated each with Viognier co-fermentation or whole cluster additions. - Horse Heaven Hills
2017 Limited Release Canoe Ridge Estate Red Wine
My Old World style vineyard is a natural for beautifully sculpted, complex red blends. This one was crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon (47%), Merlot (23%), Syrah (14%), Malbec (14%) and Cabernet Franc (2%). Five varietals from one Estate vineyard make for a harmonic statement that I enjoy crafting every year. - Columbia Valley
2017 Limited Release Boreal Syrah
This wine is a beautiful ensemble of Old World wine making flare. With 7% co-fermented Viognier, this Syrah is elegant and floral with aromas of dried red fruits, honeysuckle and cedar. The palate is a balance of complex bright red fruits, lifted texture and spice followed by a vibrant, savory finish. - Columbia Valley

This Cabernet Franc opens with aromas of blueberry and graham cracker with blackberry and juniper on the palate and finishes with soft, velvety tannins. Enjoy the complex offerings of this unique varietal. - Columbia Valley
2017 Limited Release Sangiovese
Characteristic vibrant red fruit and earthy leather of Sangiovese meld with raspberry jam and floral elements to create a wine that is fresh, nuanced and smooth. - Columbia Valley
2017 Limited Release Grenache
One of the top 10 most planted grape varietals in the world, Grenache is an exciting varietal to work with. This 100% Grenache showcases aromas of strawberry, raspberry and spice. The silky tannins and dark fruit lend a generous roundness to the wine, leading to a soft, supple finish. - Columbia Valley
2019 Limited Release Mourvèdre
Mourvèdre is such a fascinating and distinctive varietal, so blending it is always a huge treat! 2019 was no exception as the vintage brought out delicate and beautiful flavors. Sweet plum and blueberry fruit play against notes of brine pepper, and red meat. - Snipes Mountain
2017 Limited Release Snipes Mountain Syrah
Three individual lots that highlight creative winemaking techniques were blended together to create this lovely and complex Syrah. Dark fruits, hints of spice, and a rich tannin structure offer layer upon layer to discover just like the vineyard itself.
