Red and black currants, cocoa powder, plum skin and dark spices. Swirling brings up plum puree, dehydrated strawberries and a hint of sweet lightly toasted vanilla bean. The palate is round and plush with good mid palate sweetness and good acidity. A complex and generous mixture of smoldering red berries and silky tannins carry the finish. An absolutely delicious entry into our Bordeaux reds.

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.

Chalk Line is our version of THE Washington blend featuring Cab, Merlot, and Syrah. With restrained elegance, this Chalk Line greets you with ripe black cherry, blackberry, and wood smoke. The aromatics carry over to the palate with deep notes of cherry pie, violet, vanilla, bitter orange, and rich baking spices in each sip. The mouth-feel is bold and dense. Although good now, this vintage is an age-worthy wine.

SUNU Willamette Valley is a snapshot of multiple vineyard sites, clonal selections and winemaking techniques and represents the marine sedimentary soils which we find so compelling in Northern Oregon. It’s a blend of each of our blocks, with individual barrels selected based on their early approachability and youthful generosity. An absolutely incredible value, it’s elegant, complex and unmistakably Willamette Valley.

Fresh and vibrant, the 2018 SUNU is a brilliant ruby color, showing intense red fruit aromas of strawberry and bing cherry, offset by forest floor, baking spice and mandarin zest. The palate is elegant with an uncanny sense of concentration to the cranberry and passionfruit flavors that emerge. The silky tannins, along with bright acidity, provide support to the long, building finish.
