Bacchus intervened to transform Sherrill's unfortunate accident into a crowning achievement.  Sweet Sherrill is Chardonnay with residual sugar, not by design, but by a serendipitous twist of fate.  It is rich, soft and has just a touch of oak.  The wine reflects the winemaker herself -- a bit sweet but with plenty of complexity.  The residual sugar is 2.5%.

This eclectic combination of varietals blends a variety of flavors and textures to create something original.  Soft yet bold, fruity yet spicy, easy to drink but with a hint that it could age a bit.  This wine is 63% Zinfandel, 11% Syrah, 11% Merlot, 9% Cabernet and 6% Cabernet Franc.

By using Syrah from the Milbrandt Vineyards and Cabernet from the Graves Vineyard, we created a uniquely spicy, peppery wine with undertones of ripe cherries and mocha, perfect for a rainy day.  Since the wine is made from grapes from different vintages, we use Roman numerals to show consumers that a new Rainy Day Red has been produced.  This wine is 86% Syrah and 14% Cabernet.

By using grapes from Milbrandt and Arianses Vineyards on the Wahluke Slope, we created a rich, complex Merlot.  Cherry, berry and licorice flavors marry with oak and cedar and moderate tannins.  3% Cabernet Franc adds depth and a hint of spice.

The Wahluke Slope is an ideal location to grow a rich, full-bodied Merlot.  This wine stars with a silky mouthfeel and explodes into berries, cherries and dark fruit.  Smoky oak adds complexity and depth.  An excellent example of a Washington Merlot.

Complex, full bodied and intense, this wine is bursting with ripe cherries, blackberries, coffee and chocolate.  Moderate tannins and oak flavors round out the palate, and the finish is smooth and lingering.
