2004 Cabernet Franc
Depth of color, flavor, mouth feel; raspberries, not black berries, high palate tones, not plums and cherries - these are marks of Cabernet Franc at its best and beautifully expressed in this vintage.
2003 Red Mt. Melange
The 2003 Red Mountain Melange aroma is redolent of cassis and herbs. It exhibits good structure and the capacity to age for many years. Old world in style but still with the indelible mark of Red Mountain terroir.
2005 Syrah - Power & Glory
This blend of 77% Syrah, and 23% Grenache is from the block 17 of the Destiny Ridge Vineyard, in the Horse Heaven Hills. Two different clones of Syrah were blended with Grenache to create a wine of stunning complexity, structure and richness.
Non-Vintage
It is fruity with a long finish and is clearly within the brut range of sweetness. This wine is soft with its apple, pear and spice flavors.
2006 Clifton Cuvee
This wine is a blend of 73% Grenache, 18% Syrah and 9% Mourvedre, showcasing the Milbrant Family's Clifton and Northridge Vineyards. We produce this wine as our early-release showcase of Rhône varietal character, and intensity.
2004 Merlot
This wine is 100% Merlot from the Katherine Leone Vineyard, on the Wahluke Slope. This vineyard is owned by the Milbrandt Family, and managed by Butch Milbrandt. I have worked with this beautiful fruit since 2000. This is the first of many single vineyard designates to come from this source. The warm days of the Wahluke Slope, with nice cooling breezes, produce big jammy wines with the structure to age gracefully.
2006 Riesling
Aromas of peach, apricot, mint, honey and quince precede flavors of apricot flesh, baked apple, flint and ginger creme brulee. Exuberant acidity gently cushions 2% residual sugar.
2004 Grace
For the first time since making Grâce we have blended all five Bordeaux varieties, namely: about 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, about 20% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Malbec and 2% Petite Verdot.
2006 Chardonnay
This no oak Chardonnay delights with aromas of pineapple and pear. Tart peaches, pears, touch of honey and a slight mineral finish.
2006 Gewurztraminer
This Gewürztraminer was created from the 1982 planting of Celilo Vineyard in the Columbia River Gorge. Old world methods combined with new world fruit produce a rich, aromatic Alsatian style wine.
