Winemaker Notes: Ascending to new heights, it is nature’s generous gift from an astoundingly good vintage. Deep indigo hues coat the glass, as heady aromatics fill the senses.

Lime undertones.

ABOUT THE WINE We have long had a love of Northern Rhone wines, and with our fourth vintage of Syrah we are convinced that the Columbia Gorge is a world class place to grow this grape. We are proud to champion it. Our goal remains, retain and express the acidity, don’t over extract, and make a full bodied wine with enough nuance to pair with salmon. NOTES Rhubarb and plum with spice and herbal tea on the nose. Confirmed on the palate, the tannins are supple and intense, with a striking balance of acidity that lengthens the finish. VINEYARD INFORMATION: The Pines Vineyard faces southeast along Mill Creek near The Dalles. Silty loam soils provide excellent water retention in the hot climate as you move east in Oregon. The Columbia River is the engine that powers the weather patterns and regulates the temperature. Planted by Lonnie Wright in 1999. The hot, dry climate is a great place to grow Syrah, and Lonnie has been growing grapes since the ‘70s. AREA Columbia Gorge

Due to the nature of Zinfandel being a thin-skinned grape, we treat this wine much like our Pinot noir. Fermented in our open top tanks, the grapes are gently punched down throughout active fermentation. After around two weeks, the fermented wine is drained off the skins and sent to a selection of American oak barrels where it remains until being bottled. Oak: 100% American | Aging: 15 months Tasting Notes: Fresh baked blueberry pie cooling on a windowsill is the image that comes to mind. The 2017 Flatridge Ranch Zinfandel is soft, supple with a never-ending finish that seems to linger and linger. Notes of earthiness and sage coupled with dark, ripe berries make this rich wine the perfect accompaniment with a decadent dark chocolate dessert, grilled sirloin with black peppercorn sauce, or on its own. This wine will drink nicely for the next 5-7 years.

Cola, purple berries. Sweet violets, boysenberry rounded with cream. Bright and friendly. Palate is juicy upfront then settles into a crunchy, feisty glass. Herb and balsamic notes. All the spunk of Syrah but delivered with a gentle touch. "Crunchy Rôastie" is Stolpman's ode to Northern Rhône Syrah, developed by the family over time by altering their winemaking techniques to pull back on cellar interventions and leveraging a lightweight approach, picking the Syrah earlier and using Carbonic fermentation. In addition, to pull more aromatics and bright fruit, 5% of Viognier is co-fermented to give the Syrah a softening edge. Ballard Canyon AVA | Santa Barbara County, California

Score: 94 Points We love the exotic profile of our Cat's Cradle that is so unique to the Rockpile AVA. Deep ruby in color, aromas of blackberry, mulberry, meadow flowers and freshly turned earth fill the glass. The generous palate displays elegant weight and a savory hint of salinity that carries through to a supple finish. This comes from the Rockpile appellation which is northwest of Healdsburg. Set near Lake Sonoma, in this rocky site, this reveals a wonderful aromatic intensity with deep dark fruit with dark florals alongside smoldering stones. Super-concentrated dark berries combine with light salinity and a beautiful astringency on the palate. Full-bodied, this is beautiful wine to consume now and over the next ten plus years."

90 Points, Wine Enthusiast: "A plethora of aromas waft out of the glass, suggesting raspberry, strawberry, red plum, red roses and violets, along with deeper notes of cacao, toasted wood and forest floor. The palate confirms these flavors and brings fine-grained tannins that add a delicate backbone. Acidity injects a dose of freshness and uplifts those lively red fruits." 91 Points - James Suckling: “Mulberries, cooked plums, stewed strawberries and cinnamon stick on the nose. Fruity and full-bodied with stemmy tannins. Ripe while retaining tangy zesty elements and spicy complexity. Drink now.” At Terra d’Oro, the Zinfandel grapes are carefully picked at night and brought to the winery for processing.

93 Points - Wine Spectator "Sleek and briary yet refined, with handsome flavors of raspberry and huckleberry accented by green peppercorn and roasted sage. Finishes with zesty tannins." Hartford Russian River Valley Zinfandel is showing aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, black cherry which are highlighted with hints of white pepper and allspice. Blueberry, red raspberry, nutmeg, and mocha flavors lead into a long, bright finish with supple tannins. Making delicious wines of high personality is directly related to the difficult locations of the Hartford family's vineyard sources, the limited production of their bottlings and the varietals they use. "Character through adversity" is an expression that the Hartford family believes to apply to both people and grapevines, and they feel that surviving adversity builds character, and personality, in both. Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, CA Alcohol: 15.5%

This wine is a classic Bordeaux-style blend. It is composed of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 8% Merlot and 2% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. We hand-harvested and fermented each variety separately, then moved the wines to the barrel, where it aged for twelve months. Once we determined our blend, we returned the wine to the barrel for an additional twelve months, to ‘marry’ the varietals. We used tight grained French oak barrels exclusively for this wine. The 2019 vintage is best described as remarkable. The growing season was nearly ideal for even ripening and optimum flavor development. Sonoma County experienced a few late rains in the month of May followed by a series of warm days that provided full fruit maturity across all vineyard sites and all varieties.

The structure and intensity of upper blocks is complemented by aromatics and acidity of cooler blocks. The extreme climate, altitude, and volcanics of the site result a wine with distinct volcanic character—intense color, aroma and flavor, with a freshness and minerality that typifies the site. Obsidian Ridge Vineyard sits on a volcanic flow at the northern tip of the Mayacamas Range at a half mile of elevation. Vines planted in 1999 on red volcanic soils shot with black obsidian are subject to an unforgiving mountain climate. Low humidity, cold night time temperatures, and ultraviolet exposure, all contribute to developing small grapes with dark color, thick skins, and intense flavors.

* Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Cellar Selection * Silver medal, Sommeliers Choice Awards * 94 pts - Wine Spectator * 100 pts - Jeb Dunnuck The 2021 Del Rio Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates an elegant power driven by its unique hillside location in the southeast corner of Alexander Valley. With chalky volcanic soils, and little organic material, the vines’ development is controlled and restrained and the established fruit is concentrated and complex. “In the glass, it pours a dark purple hue and shows off a brooding profile, with a classic cologne of leather, cigar box, plum compote, savory herbs, graphite, and dried flowers. Full-bodied, it’s commanding in its structure, with ripe tannins that take on a more noble texture, a long finish, and fresh red fruit coming through on the back palate. It demands time in the cellar and is going to need another 5 or more years.”

Our maiden vintage presents an explosion of BADA-Bing cherry, tea leaves, and a delicate finish of cinnamon and coco. We finished with a very light neutral oak treatment, keeping the acid bright and fruit top of mind. The fruit is grown along the Delta river, at the base of the Sierra foothills. The river is fed by mountain run off from as far north as Mt. Shasta and eventually feeds into the San Francisco Bay. This coastal gap warms during the dry summer months, along with the rest of California’s massive central valley. Cool air is pulled up into the Delta from the Bay making the banks of the river a unique growing region for Pinot Noir.

The wine is made much like our Pinot Noir in that it is fermented with a large portion of whole berries in open top fermenters.

Winery: This wine, harvested from two distinctive vineyards in Rutherford and Calistoga, is conceived of as a Rosé of Intent - a natural, fresh, spicy evocation of what’s possible when these two classic partners in red wine - Zin and Petite Sirah—decide to make a white wine together. The shoulders (‘wings’) of our estate Zinfandel are harvested for this wine - think of it as a late green harvest. All I know is that in doing so, I make use of all the Zinfandel fruit on the ranch, and the quality of the (red) Zinfandel fruit has benefited from this practice. Named for two of my favorite Roses on the ranch, Ingrid Bergman & Julia Child, I like to say that this is “ A beautiful wine with a spicy accent”. Food Pairing: A crisp, dry, Provencal-style Rosé is a versatile and cross-seasonal wine to pair with every cuisine - Oysters (add Pomegranate Vinegar Mignonette), Charcuterie, Smoked Trout bruschetta or Baby Back Ribs.

Our vineyards ripened in the final two to three weeks of September, creating a condensed window for optimum harvest. The wines crafted from the 2023 vintage display excellent quality demonstrated by generous flavors and complex textures. 92 points - Decanter

Crisp, bright notes of lime citrus are balanced with ripe crenshaw melon flavors on the mid-palate, with a finish of fresh acidity. A beautiful pale salmon coral color, this bone-dry rose is as fresh as a spring day! The Vintage 2023 was an exceptional year that tested our resiliency as growers and even the grapes themselves. Some years we get a plentiful harvest, and some years we get truly extraordinary flavors. But not often do we get both in the same year. This rare combination was due in large part to an exceedingly long, cool growing season. The year kicked off with consistent winter rainfalls, replenishing the soil and providing an ample supply of water, followed by cooler-than-average spring and summer weather. Our longest harvest season in almost 20 years yielded grapes with intense flavors and ideally balanced acidity, making for a truly remarkable vintage.

When one of his neighbors recently replanted his DOC Valle Isarco Alto Adige Muller-Thurgau vineyard to Kerner, Gunther, knowing the excellent position (southwest facing, 720 meters above sea level) took out a long term lease on the property. Region: Valle Isarco region of South Tyrol, Italy Varietal: Kerner Alcohol: 13%

This wine shows aromas of orange blossoms, citrus and poached pear that open the nose, with flavors of orange zest, honeysuckle and briny Meyer lemon. Crisp and dry, the wine ends with a decidedly mineral finish. Winemaker Notes: Our estate-grown Muller-Thurgau comes from vines first planted in 1979. Crisp, fresh, and dry, it is a charming example of the variety at its best. From chicken to shellfish, this wine is a versatile match for mildly spicy foods like Thai, Creole, or Mexican. Varietal: Muller Thurgau Region: Yamhill-Carlton District, Willamette Valley, Oregon

A stunning Pinot Blanc with youthful aromas and flavors of magnolia or vanilla flower, pear, lemon verbena and pineapple guava. The wine has a bright entry, a wonderful fleshy mid-palate tempered by an elegant minerality with a touch of jasmine tea on the long-flavorful finish. A beautiful wine for the table that can work as the opening wine served with seafood or charcuterie or as the featured wine with the main course. RSV’s Blanc is so fresh and bright, it can handle just about anything - even heat. Heat, as in spicy chilis, can be the killer of wine. The Blanc’s purity of fruit, vivacious, bright acidity balanced by a plush mouthfeel - that comes from time well spent on lees - gives it the ability to face the heat. It’s a seamless wine with not only spicy food but bright green aromatic herbs, seafood, salad with intense vinaigrette and an extremely wide range of other dishes that normally beat up wine.

Grüner produces healthy, large clusters and ripens slowly making Oregon a perfect match for the Austrian native. Aromas of apple pie, pear, white peach, apricot, cinnamon, baking spice, almond, fortune cookie, freshly cut hay, with a white pepper, and a baking spice mouthfeel. Cold soaked on the skins for 24 hours and then gently pressed. Fermented in 60% acacia and 40% stainless.

This Sauvignon Blanc displays bright aromas of Honeycrisp apple, lime, and orange blossom.

Their 2021 Hindsight Dry Creek Valley Sauvignon Blanc release under Michael Weis was handcrafted with an artisan touch. First on the eyes it is a golden straw color and medium viscosity. On the nose, floral aromas, jasmine waft into the senses, along with reserved peach and apricot. On the palate, soft citrus accents of lime and lemon come into play and are kept in check with flavor but not overpowering. The finish provides a mouthful feeling of a much heavier wine rather than a “light Sauvignon Blanc” with a textual creaminess. This is most likely due to the addition of ten percent Semillon, Which also helps round out the acidity.

In this wine, aromas of mixed citrus and chalk are followed by flavors of exuberant citrus, pineapple and mango sprinkled with sea salt. Abundant acidity washes the mouth with flavor, carrying into an incredibly long finish. — Elaine Chukan Brown

Our Sauvignon Blanc is grown in our estate Mary’s Vineyard in Calistoga, containing some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc plantings in Napa Valley at more than 30 years old.

We continue to refine our craft, always seeking ways to enhance our Sauvignon Blanc white blend. Baby Blue Blanc walks a tightrope that delivers the best qualities of Sauvignon Blanc, bright acidity and freshness, yet tempered by the addition of Viognier and Semillon in order to enhance the texture, something that remains elusive to most Sauvignon Blanc bottled on its own.

The sensory dance continues with pristine aromas of white peach, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and lemongrass, all seamlessly integrated into a fragrant and harmonious whole. Sauvignon Blanc has a place at the table all year long. Spring and summer come to mind first with fresh veggies, fruits, ceviche, oysters, grilled white fish, poultry and anything else light and refreshing.

Our 2023 Chenin Blanc is a vibrant and bright wine, coming from old vines planted in the 1940’s. It is a product of its rich clay loam soils and colder, brisk nights that are made possible by the Delta Breeze coming in off the San Francisco Bay. The aromas are led by a bounty of stone fruit, citrus, and beeswax, along with a hint of white florals and mint. The mouthfeel is lush, complex, and balanced, with great acidity and energy that gives the wine depth and a long-lasting finish. An enchanting and complex white that you have to try! “Shows plenty of verve and intensity, offering yuzu, mango and lemon curd notes at the core, plus accents of hops, vetiver and lemongrass. Vibrant acidity and plenty of momentum on the finish make this a showy wine, with a hint of crunchy sea salt that lingers.” 91 pts – Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2024 APPELLATION Clarksburg VARIETAL Chenin Blanc BLEND 100% Chenin Blanc

Château La Croix De Belair 2019 Côtes de Bourg A smoothly textured, half-and-half blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has big tannins and rich potential. Solid structure, wood-aging flavors and broad fruitiness give it a good future. Rating: 90

Grapes: Riesling Appellation: Pfalz Region: Pfalz, Germany Farming: Organic, Sustainable ABV: 11.5% The "Winnings" is Attman's entry-level offering, and it is "winning" in every sense: off-dry (meaning a little sweet) but balanced by racy acidity, clean, mineral-infused, and singing with peach and citrus fruit flavors. Intensive and sustainable work in the vineyards enables us to harvest highly aromatic and healthy grapes. This valuable fruit is vinified with a lot of patience and untreated in our historic cellar. We ferment our musts relatively turbid and without artificial cooling in different size oak barrels using their indigenous yeasts. This way we preserve the precious phenolic compounds, which shape the aroma and bestow a deep and complex structure upon our wines. Subsequently, the wines are moved only one time on their way into the bottle.

91 Points: James Suckling Fresh and floral with candied lemons, quince, fine herbs and spices on the nose. Medium-bodied, polished and sleek, with mouthwatering acidity. Flavorful and refreshing aftertaste. Refreshing aromas of lime zest and apple are layered with floral hints of jasmine and orange blossom. Bright on the palate, flavors of guava and peach are lively with notes of Granny Smith apple and citrus. Pair this wine with dishes containing minimal fat, like shellfish and fennel. Winery Chef Chris Kennedy recommends oysters and using ingredients with like flavors, such as ginger or stone fruit, to amplify the soft notes in this wine.

Composition: 100% Riesling Vineyard: Destin Vineyard Aging: 6 Months in 100% Neutral French Oak Alcohol: 12.7% TASTING NOTES: Presents as a vibrant exemplar of this aromatic varietal, marked by an invigorating, fresh, and dry profile. On the nose, an inviting bouquet of lemon zest and delicate unripe peach is entwined with the subtle fragrance of jasmine and assorted white flowers, setting the stage for a multifaceted sensory experience. Taking a sip, the palate comes alive with the luscious flavors of stone fruit, further enhanced by a pronounced minerality that adds depth and character. A surge of bright acidity propels the wine forward, giving it a crisp edge that is beautifully counterbalanced by a dash of saline, evoking the essence of a gentle sea breeze. This Riesling culminates in a long, lingering finish that persists with grace, inviting contemplation and savoring.

Light, jubilant, honeycrisp apple with a slight golden fruit. Zesty citrus fruit complemented by tree fruit. Viscous, but not cloying mouthfeel, balanced by a strong acid structure that is not taste apparent but allows for a balanced finish. 90 Points - Wine Enthusiast "It's difficult to resist this wine's fresh aromas of cut grass, green apples, lemon zest and jasmine. Cantaloupe sorbet and macadamia nut flavors are equally compelling, especially given the Riesling's brisk acidity. Kate Arnold would be a good match for a plate of crab rangoon." — Michael Alberty Color - Pale yellow with crystal clarity Aromas - Expressive and aromatic, with notes of lychee, lemon zest, and pineapple, supported by a touch of dried fruit Flavors - Golden raisin, ripe apricot, and honeydew melon Structure - Smooth and rounded mouthfeel with a sustained long finish. Balanced acidity provides lift and elegance. Region: Washington, Zillah Ranch Vineyard, Rattlesnake Hills AVA
