Please visit us this Memorial Day Weekend for an exclusive barrel tasting and sale of our premium wine futures. 


From the "Vintage of a Lifetime":
2015 Cabernet Franc &
2015 Sangiovese 
  
Dear Friends,

Reflecting back the other evening, I realized that this is, in fact, the tenth consecutive year that we have offered barrel futures. This fact alone should dissuade the cautious among you, given my previous unblemished track record of delivering stellar wines consistently since my first future release in 2005. Not only that, there's the fact they are priced so reasonably particularly when compared to the other wines out there of similar caliber. So you may well want to stock up on them given that they are a hell of a deal, you can't afford to miss this opportunity, you'll never forgive yourself if you do, etc., etc.


2015 Cabernet Franc
31% sourced from Eastern Oregon - Echo Ridge Vineyards & 69% sourced from Eastern Washington, Elephant Mountain
An incredibly powerful Cabernet Franc from that stellar 2015 "Vintage of a Lifetime". As you may know, Karl Dinger has often talked of combining 2 different vineyards, from 2 completely different terroir, into a single classic. If you've been a fan of  the taste & quality of the 12 & 13 CF, or as Carole says "Karl's personal favorite the '07", the same could be said of 15, only much, much more lush, voluptuous and exotic. A classic, alluring nose of currant and pencil shavings, a gamey meatiness, a hint of tobacco and of course, leather and then a deep rich palate of blue berries, chocolate and tart red fruits- talk about depth! Further barrel aging means liquid velvet, mark my words.

2015 Sangiovese
Entirely sourced from Eastern WA, Elephant Mountain
Winemaker, Karl Dinger, predicts that this wine will easily surpass the '05 Terra Madre Sangiovese in power, elegance and pure delectability. At a little over 6 months in the barrel, this Sangiovese is already rich, opulent, silky and sumptuous. Early results are in: luscious, mouthwateringly delicious. Intensely pleasurable with fig, plum and an overabundance of strawberry and a slightly meaty character. Barrel aging for another year will render these same features as silky smooth as a baby's bottom.


We invite you to barrel taste these two outstanding wines at both our tasting room locations this Memorial Day weekend.
