Usual Suspects Tasting Notes.
2022
Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedré
2022 Pursued is fresh, clean and bright. This pretty pink wine is full of notes of Rainier cherry, white nectarine, honeydew melon and watermelon. This Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blend sourced from D&D Vineyards, near Lake Chelan, is delicate, delicious and oh so drinkable now.

Talk about a showstopper! This 100% Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe, lush, and downright delicious. Just imagine your favorite blackberry fruit roll-up intermixed with notes of roasted coffee, grilled meats, and vanilla… and that’s what you’ll discover on the nose. The generous flavors carry over to the palate and blend beautifully with ripe red fruit and earthy undertones. Hailing from our plantings in Quintessence Vineyard in Red Mountain this vintage was aged on a blend of new and once-used French oak for 18 months before bottling.

Columbia Valley Red
Often referred to by customers as “The Guardian,” Gun Metal is THE boss wine around here. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot from Connor Lee Vineyard this wine is velvety smooth. Swirl and sniff, you’ll be greeted with notes of black currant and dried raspberry which follow through on the palate with flavors of black cherry and a hint of sage. By aging 22 months on 73% new French oak this wine has developed nuances of clove, vanilla, and cedar. The tannins are silky and well-integrated. Honestly? This wine is the bomb!

Co-fermented Syrah
You know those times when you swirl your wine, and it coats your glass in a sheen of purple? The dark-inky juice, the gorgeous nose, the delicious, jammy taste – that’s what our 2020 Informant is all about! This wine is 95% Syrah co-fermented with 5% Viognier from StoneTree Vineyards in the Wahuluke Slope. The Informant features notes of orange blossom, ripe blackberries, holiday spice, toasted coconut, and vanilla. This spectacular wine was aged for 19 months on 50% new French oak. This wine is full-bodied, dense and mouth-filling – everything you want from a Syrah and more.
