Usual Suspects Tasting Notes.
2025
Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedré
2025 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 Coyote Creek Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills, is delicate, delicious, fresh and oh so drinkable now.

Cheers to the original wine of the Newsprint line! Back with a beautifully expressive vintage. This wine offers a burst of cherry compote and blackberry ripeness, which falls into a refined complex bouquet of freshly picked violets, basil and rosemary. Being extremely food-friendly or perfect on it's own, this wine is meant for any occasion you have in mind.

Columbia Valley Red
Often referred to by customers as “The Guardian,” Gun Metal is THE boss wine around here. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot from Connor Lee Vineyard, this wine is delicious and balanced. Swirl and sniff, you’ll be greeted with notes of pomegranate and ripe Bing cherry which follow through on the palate with hints of sage, and cigar box. By aging 22 months on 60% new French oak this wine is generous, round, and oh so easy to drink!

Columbia Valley Blend
The Wanted has long been a Guardian Cellars classic, but this vintage is something different – hailing from StoneTree on Wahluke Slope, Connor Lee in the Columbia Valley, and Quintessence in Red Mountain! This fabulous blend consists of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Cabernet Franc, and 22% Merlot and spent 22 months on 56% new French oak. The Wanted features notes of huckleberry, black plum, and vanilla. This wine is concentrated with a lifted and balanced finish.

Co-fermented Syrah
This co-fermented Syrah has become a winery favorite. This vintage of The Informant is comprised of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, from StoneTree Vineyard, in Wahluke Slope. This gorgeous wine is filled with notes of blueberry and ripe plum and that splash of Viognier brings a pop of sweet floral to the mix. Secondary notes include hints of clove, cinnamon, and vanilla latte. The mouthfeel is big, yet still velvety and smooth. The Informant was aged on 70% new French oak for 19 months.
