2007 Pinot Noir

Our passion is to create a true varietal expression of Pinot Noir in Washington by sourcing wine grapes from vineyards around the state.  The 2007 vintage is a blend of wines from the Columbia Valley and the Okanagon Valley that exhibits a bouquet brimming with cherry, sweet raspberry, and plum paired with herbal notes of mushroom and sage with a mysterious shadow of sandalwood.
