Great winemaking should be transparent, showcasing the energy and vibrancy of ripe fruit above all else. Our wines are vibrant and balanced, emphasizing fruit purity and are crafted to pair beautifully with food.

We partner with outstanding Bordeaux-varietal vineyards that consistently yield fruit with ripe, juicy flavors. Visiting our vineyard sources comprises a twelve-hour, 200+ mile circuit from Walla Walla across the Columbia Valley and we put in the miles throughout the season to meet every farmer and walk every row. We taste throughout to nail picking decisions that capture the best of the fruit—its freshness and structure.

Even as a two-man operation we spare no effort in the winemaking, sorting fruit and exhaustively tracking fermentations—the expression of flavors, the development of mouthfeel—using gentle extraction techniques that highlight generous, soft tannins. We use judicious quantities of the finest French oak that frames the wine, lending texture rather than overt flavor.

We are tasting exhaustively and systematically throughout the process, selecting the best barrels and most expressive blends from each vineyard. This rigorous attention to the blending process allows us to maximize the potential of every vintage and has enabled us to craft superb single vineyard wines from some of the Columbia Valley’s most lauded vineyards, as well as stand-out Cabernet Sauvignon blends.
