All of our wines are crafted to be aged for many years, the number of which we will only know with time. Please stock up so you can regularly sample the wines and not miss any intermediate combinations of subtle aromas that may be short lived or transitions to more complex flavor components. We like to say that we appreciate all phases of wine flavor profiles, but that we only release the wine when the symphony is ready to play!

The linking of vineyards and varietals from around the state is captured in our blend called Abbinare...Italian for “link together”. This is a Merlot heavy Bordeaux style blend that is capturing a growing number of wine lovers with it’s old world character. Right bank charm dominated by Arianses Vineyard Merlot grown with care by vineyard owner Bruce Zunser. This is not to make light of the Cabernet contribution by Tedd Wildman at Stone Tree Vineyard. These two sources have come together to show you a fine wine with components nurtured in the Wahluke Slope.

45% Merlot (Arianses Vineyard), 33% Cabernet Sauvignon (Stone Tree Vineyard), 11% Cabernet Franc (Kestrel View Estates Vineyard), 11% Malbec (Verhey Vineyard)

pH 3.73, TA 6.09 g/L.

Bottled on 6/23/07; 225 cases were produced. This wine was aged for 21 months in a mixture of new and used oak barrels from French and American sources.
