Alleromb’s only Bordeaux inspired blend, although they only used Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage. This wine is meant to showcase the perfume and textures that their vineyard consistently produces across all our red wines. Using a clone of Merlot (181) meant more for secondary notes of scorched earth, floral potpourri and dark berries with great volume and plush textures rather than the typical Washington Merlot made mainly from Clone 3 which displays a firmer more present tannin and more new world fruit. Paired with Clone 6 Cabernet that displays more mocha and bay leaf with good volume and a finer tannin keeping this Cuvee fresh, perfumed and stylishly drinkable. Fermented in a combination of concrete tanks and barrels and then aged for 26 months in 30% new French oak 500L’s. Bottled Jan 2018 unfined and unfiltered.

On the nose this takes on smoky accents with red and dark fruits parading. The palate shows good minerality considering the obvious heat spikes during the vintage. Blackberry and red cherry with minerals provide some easy drinking.

Showing red and black fruits, sarsaparilla, orange peel, cinnamon and tobacco, this crisply textured red is balanced by fine grained tannins and a rich, pillow soft midpalate. The Merlot is from Outlook Vineyard and is organically grown. The 2018 Rook was made to showcase the world-class Merlot grown in the cool, high elevation sites within the Columbia Valley AVA. All grapes were hand harvested and handled with minimal processing. The wine was small-lot fermented and aged in neutral French oak to keep the bright fruit flavors lively.

Columbia Valley, WA | 2015

Coming in at an alcohol level nearly unheard of for modern day red wines in the state, subdued aromas of dried tobacco, ash and cherry are followed by well-balanced fruit flavors that display a sense of elegance. Citrus streaks run throughout. The tannins bring a lightly tacky feel, needing some food to bring them into check. It should shine at the dinner table, bringing a lovely sense of purity and structure

Charlie Hoppes created 4040, named for the 4,040 acres that make up the Red Mountain growing region, as a tribute to this unique corner of the world and as an introduction to Fidélitas. We lovingly refer to 4040 as the younger sibling to our vineyard designated Cabernets and blends. For this Cabernet-dominate blend, Charlie uses specific vineyards and winemaking techniques to create a wine suited for everyday enjoyment. Enjoy bright red fruit tones, balanced by soft tannins and an expressive finish.

Red Mountain, WA | 2017

This Cabernet Franc is such a delightful and captivating wine, delicate but in no way dull. The nose is filled with candied black cherry, ripe blueberry and pretty scents of soft violet and subdued woody spicy notes. The color is a clear sparkling ruby red with a soft hued magenta rim and legs that hypnotically flow down the glass.

The front palette is ripe black cherry, black currant and vanillin followed by wild blackberry, Marion berry and red raspberry, finishing with plum, dark chocolate and soft spices. All the flavors are so expertly integrated and balanced, in every aspect a textbook perfect wine, which is probably the reason it was awarded a Double Gold from SIP Magazine’s Best of the Northwest Competition.
