2022 Bacchus Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon
As if to celebrate its 50 years, the Bacchus Vineyard Block 10 Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in 1972, excelled in 2022. It is the most concentrated and powerful Bacchus Cabernet Foolhardy has yet produced, loaded with flavors of ripe black currants, minerality and perfumed violets. There is delightful weight and texture, along with the freshness and elegance we've come to expect from this special site. Plush tannins linger in the finish, suggesting that the 2022 could be the longest-lived Bacchus to date. Those of you with the superb 2021 Bacchus in your cellars can look forward to a decade of delicious side-by-sides.
A barrel selection of the best Bacchus of the vintage, we produced just 672 bottles of this thrilling wine. The texture and aromatics of this Cabernet make it a great match with fowl or game, as well as roast meats.
2023 Les Collines Cabernet Sauvignon
Our first vintage working with Les Collines Vineyard, situated at the windswept base of the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla, the 2023 Les Collines Cabernet Sauvignon is coiled and concentrated, loaded with dark berry extract and dark chocolate flavors framed by suave, muscular tannins. There’s terrific density to the texture and intriguing complexity to its cigar box and violet aromas. This wine is built to last and will gain depth and nuance over the next ten years and should hold for 20 years in the cellar. The fruit produced from this rugged, impeccably farmed site is so different from the Cabernets we make from Bacchus Block 10 in Pasco and Red Willow in Western Yakima, with the power, concentration and density to rival top California Cabernets. Like all Foolhardy wines it shows beautifully at the table, preferably with beef, lamb or game.
Just 70 cases produced.
2022 Red Willow Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2022 is another terrific vintage of our single vineyard Red Willow. Like the 2019 and 2020, the 2022 features the ripe raspberry, floral and dried herb tones that are signatures of this unique site, the westernmost vineyard in the Yakima Valley. Although the 2022 has much in common with its elder siblings, this is the most concentrated, muscular Red Willow to date, which will benefit from another year or two in bottle. If you are opening sooner rather than later, try to decant several hours ahead of time.
If you opt to cellar the 2022 Red Willow, it will age well for 15 to 20 years. We bottled just 75 cases of this stellar wine.
Serve with roasted and grilled meats.
2020 Foolhardy Cabernet Sauvignon
The fifth vintage of our flagship red is intense, supple and streamlined, with blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate and dried herb nuances. Like all our reds, it benefits from air, presenting a range of lovely spice and violet accents. The 2020 is a blend of three old vine Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards: Elephant Mountain, planted in 1999; Red Willow, from 1991; and the Bacchus Block 10, planted in 1972.
A mere 197 cases bottled.
Pair this exceptional Cabernet with roasted or grilled meats and vegetarian dishes with plenty of umami (e.g. grilled portobello mushrooms).
2022 Walla Walla Valley Malbec
Why is our limited production Malbec so popular? An exceptionally vibrant wine, loaded with a fragrant array of freshly crushed white peppercorns, wild berry and exotic spice tones. From a special block of Malbec at 1500 feet at Southwind Vineyard, this wine is lithe, focused and made for celebration.
Only 72 cases made.
2021 FH Cabernet Sauvignon
Our popular FH Cabernet Sauvignon is bright and exotic in 2021, with delicious nuances of dark chocolate, blueberry and cardamom spice. Pretty floral and blackberry flavors add intrigue, with lithe tannins and subtle herbal accents. This already shows outstanding complexity and the flavors develop weight and richness with air.
Made with Cabernet from Phinny Hill, Bacchus, Elephant Mountain and Stonetree vineyards, as well as Malbec from Gamache and Southwind, this Cabernet blend is drinking well today and will reward cellaring for the next 6-8 years. This wine has the depth and power to serve with red meat and stews, along with a fresh and aromatic character that complements poultry and grilled vegetarian dishes.
2025 Foolhardy Sauvignon Blanc
We probably drink more of the Foolhardy Sauvignon Blanc than any of our wines. At just 12.7% alcohol, it’s vibrant and light on its feet, but with the intensity and generous texture to match beautifully with whatever is on the menu.
The 2025 is another success, with the variety’s signature citrus tones—think lime with a hint of grapefruit—and tropical nuances adding allure. There is good concentration and a trace of quince and apple. Chalky mineral flavors and mouthwatering saltiness linger on the palette.
Only 120 cases made.
2022 Fool’s Sake Red Wine
The 2022 FFS is a ridiculous value, loaded with concentrated flavors of dark berries, chocolate and spice. Round and supple, it has the weight to complement food and the easy-drinking charm to stand alone.
This is a terrific everyday red wine, able to excel at the weekend barbecue with friends or help you relax on Monday night after the first day back at work. Will pair well with lasagna, roast chicken, mushroom risotto or a juicy hamburger.
