VINEYARDS 2019 COLUMBIA VALLEY RIESLING COLUMBIA VALLEY ORIGINALS In 1975 our family planted one of the ﬁrst vineyards in the Columbia Valley, an area now known for producing some of the world’s most powerful, opulent wines of distinction. For three generations we’ve worked together on our farm to grow excit- ing, vineyard-driven wines that capture the essence of the Columbia Valley AVA. VINEYARD PROFILE The greater Columbia Valley is a fantastic place to grow riesling. The 2019 version showcases fruit from our Kiona Estate vineyard, where the riesling vines hold the distinction of being the oldest on Red Mountain (planted in 1975). These fan-trained elder-statesmen of the region continue to impress us, even after 40+ years. WINE PROFILE Crisp, clean, and refreshing, our Columbia Valley Riesling showcases the bright acidi- ty and tremendous fresh fruit characteristics that make Washington a world-class riesling producer. We cold-ferment to preserve fruit ﬂavors, maximize pizzaz, and capture a small amount of frizzante in every bottle.

The primary vintages were sourced wines from the Columbia Valley AVA. Hedges Cellars, as it was called, created the first commerical wine blend for sale from WA State. After three years, Tom (born in Richland, WA) and Anne-Marie Hedges (born in Champagne, France), moved from a sourced fruit model to an Estate Grown model, by purchasing land in WA States’ most coveted terroir: The Red Mountain AVA. Soon after, Hedges Cellars became Hedges Family Estate, when their son Christophe joined in 2001. Shortly after, their daughter Sarah joined in 2006 and became head winemaker in 2015.

2015 Readers Merlot
1RDRS5 20 READERS MERLOT 15 COLUMBIA VALLEY A.V.A. n outstanding Merlot from Washington’s revered old vineyards Conner Lee and Dionysus. Our Readers blend tips its hat to all exploratory readers of books and wine. Blending Conner Lee Vineyard’s 1992 old block Merlot and Dionysus Vineyards’ block A15 Merlot combines two super character vineyards. Elephant Mountain Vineyard’s Cabernet bring spice and complexity to the blend. This powerful wine offers fragrant cherries and chocolate with rich marrionberry flavors in this delicious easy drinking style. VINTAGE Vintage 2015 is Washington’s leading hot vintage and earliest ripening harvest. Our vineyards yielded fruit with record color and tannin. This is in alignment with our house style of rich and smooth age-worthy reds. Spring broke buds in March and flowered in May, setting the stage for the early harvest. Late spring developed small grapes on small clusters in all our vineyards. Summer temperatures were hotter than average and lead to an early July verasion. Together early and swift verasion are hallmarks of great vintages. Our fruit we shaded with healthy canopies balancing acidity and sugar ripeness while protecting against sunburn. We harvested summer fruits in excellent condition. WINEMAKING Dionysus we harvested August 26 into small fermenters. Conner Lee Vineyard we picked at the peak of ripeness swiftly by Pellenc Selective harvester September 10 delivering perfectly sorted fruit right on time. We hand mixed for two weeks, then finished fermentation in barrels and puncheons. We aged on lees reductively, developing savory tones complimentary to the powerful fruit. After 20 months, we selected the final blend.

Columbia Valley AVA Willard Vineyard
2020 Division-Villages “l’Isle Verte” Chenin Blanc Columbia Valley AVA Willard Vineyard One of the fastest growing and diverse American wine growing regions of the past 40 years is the Columbia Valley, a wide swath of land that reaches from the northern border of Oregon to well into the northeastern parts of Washington State. Within this region is a is the Yakima Valley, home to our old vine Chenin Blanc at Willard Farms. This Chenin vineyard has over 45 years of own-rooted development at the highest elevation in the north central Yakima, which helps insulate the vines from the year to year climate variation. The Willard Chenin vines are planted on soils formed from volcanic Miocene uplift against basalt bedrock with the primary topsoil being made up of quartz and lime silica, overlaid with the mixed glacial sedimentary runoff of Missoula floods that makes the soils in the region so dynamic and unique. We adore this particular site, as it is one of the last remaining old vine Chenin Blanc sites in the Pacific Northwest, has demonstrated a unique and interesting terroir influence in the wines, and is farmed by an excellent, albeit quirky, farmer named Jim Willard who has a deep understanding of the soils and region. The 2020 vintage created some unique challenges for the entire West Coast, most notably the wildfires that plagued Oregon and California. Thankfully, Willard Farms and the Columbia Valley was spared from the fires and experienced mostly only high level haze. However, poor yields, like Oregon, were the norm in the Columbia Valley too from a poor fruit set during the flowering in June.

2014 Gamache Vineyard Malbec Columbia Valley AVA| 95 Cases Produced
2014 Gamache Vineyard Malbec Columbia Valley AVA| 95 Cases Produced Vineyard Gamache Vineyard, planted in 1982 and owned/managed by Roger Gamache, is in the White Bluffs of the Columbia Valley. Almost since our beginning, we’ve sourced Malbec from Roger due to the site’s huge mouthfeel and subtle spices. During hot years, this Malbec manages to retain its acidity and during cold, it achieves lush ripeness when others do not. The skins off of this site are some of the thickest we work with, resulting in high tannins, color and rich phenolics. We pick clone 4 and clone 9 Malbec off of Roger’s vineyard. Winemaker Notes It was a beautiful Indian summer in Washington! With no heat spikes and cool nighttime temperatures, the balance in this wine is ideal. These grapes were wonderfully juicy, producing fabulous flavors. Aged in neutral French Oak for 18 months and bottled in spring of 2016. Our Gamache Vineyard Malbec was released in the spring of 2017. Tasting Notes 100% Gamache Vineyard Malbec. This vintage shows a deep ruby-crimson color and enticing aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and black currants, with scents of black roses, mulberry, sweet tobacco, violets and spicedincense. On the palate, the black and blue fruit flavors are mouth encompassing, intermixed with black licorice, dark cocoa, French roast and alluvial minerals. The saturation continues on the back with sensations of macerated berries, roasted walnuts, blueberry preserves, dried currants and charcoal, followed by a lingering, spiced slightly grainy ripe tannin finish that is lifted by vivid fruit acidity.

2016 Brook & Bull Cellars Chardonnay
1249 Lyday Lane Walla Walla Washington, 99362 Brook & Bull Cellars is a return to Ashley Trout’s roots of varietally driven, nuanced, and intricately balanced wines, releasing only a handful of cases per year. Sourcing from top vineyard sites, Trout is able to create wines that reflect her palate and can be appreciated now or aged over the next decade. Whether it’s conversation or dinner, these wines will undoubtedly pair well. Brook & Bull wines are hand-crafted from vine to bottle, made with small lots sourced from carefully tended vineyards. From alcohol to acid, phenolics to tannin, balance is always our goal. Our reds tend to age nicely through year eight, while whites and roses trend closer to the three to four-year mark. Brook trout, much like winemaker Ashley Trout, are native to the east coast whereas bull trout, like our nation’s best wines, thrive in the Pacific Northwest. Both thrive in the harshest of conditions, much like the best wine grapes, Brook & Bull Cellars is the confluence. Welcome to the best of both worlds. 2016 Brook & Bull Cellars Chardonnay 100% Chardonnay. Columbia Valley AVA. Pencil shavings, flint, pear and pineapple and kiwi give our signature white a complex bouquet leading to a simultaneously voluptuous yet crisp mouthfeel and finish. Lemon spritz meets a pinch of toast and butter, rolling into Granny Smith apple spritz, landing on a food friendly finish. Aged in both newer and neutral barrels, this is the best of both Chardonnay worlds.

2017 NEXT Columbia Valley Red Blend
2017 COLUMBIA VALLEY RED BLEND “Wine is born between the heavens and earth.” THE HEAVENS The Columbia Valley AVA lies in the Columbia River Plateau, through much of central and southern Washington State, with a small section crossing into Oregon. The Columbia Valley stretches between the 46th and 47th parallel, which puts it in line with the well-known French wine growing regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Compared to more southern growing regions, this northern latitude allows two more hours of additional daylight during the summer growing season. This long growing season also allows the grapes to be harvested at a cooler temperature - giving our winemakers the ideal window to pick when grapes are in perfect balance. THE EARTH The soil types found in the vineyards of the Columbia Valley AVA are defined by the great Missoula floods, a series of cataclysmic floods that swept through the Columbia Gorge at the end of the last ice age. Most vineyards lie below the floodwaters with soils of loess, wind-blown deposits of sand and silt, overlying gravel and sediment-formed bedrock. This provides a diversity of soil types that are well drained and ideal for viticulture. THE BOUNTY NEXT Red Blend has inviting aromas of blueberry, cassis and cigar box. Juicy flavors like blackberry and plum are accentuated by tobacco leaf before the long and satisfying finish. For optimum flavor and body, this wine underwent delestage, with extended maceration before being aged in 25% new French oak. Varietals: 40% Syrah, 40% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon AVA : Columbia Valley Alcohol: 13.5% KING ESTATE WINERY | 80854 TERRITORIAL ROAD, EUGENE, OR 97405 | KINGESTATE.COM.

Aglianico from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Aglianico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Aglianico (pronounced [aʎˈʎaːniko], roughly "ahl-YAH-nee- koe") is a black grape grown in the Basilicata and Campania Aglianico regions of Italy. The vine originated in Greece and was Grape (Vitis) brought to the south of Italy by Greek settlers. The name may be a corruption of vitis hellenica, Latin for "Greek vine."[1] Another etymology posits a corruption of Apulianicum, the Latin name for the whole of southern Italy in the time of ancient Rome. During this period, it was the principal grape of the famous Falernian wine, the Roman equivalent of a first-growth wine today.

From Greece it was brought to Italy by settlers to Cumae near modern-day Pozzuoli, and from there spread to various points in the regions of Campania and Basilicata. While still grown in Italy, the original Greek plantings seem to have disappeared.[2] In ancient Rome, the grape was the principal component of the world's earliest first-growth wine, Falernian.[1] Ruins from the Greek Along with a white grape known as Greco (today grown as Greco di Tufo), the grape settlement of Cumae.
