Dead Canyon Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon VINTAGE: 2017 VARIETAL: REGION: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills AVA, Washington, USA 8% Syrah 2% Merlot TERROIR: Silty loam WINEMAKER: Dead Canyon Ranch HISTORY: The fruit for this wine is grown at the acclaimed Estate Vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. The fruit is exposed to dappled sunlight, allowing for uniform ripening and flavor development. Well-balanced crop levels have allowed for the creation of wines with great depth and concentration. WINEMAKING: These grapes were sorted in the vineyard with the selective harvest tool on the Pellenc harvester. The fruit was not crushed in order to preserve as much whole-berry as possible. At the winery, individual lots were fermented in stainless steel tanks. Twice daily pump overs allowed gentle extraction of color and tannins. 16 month barrel aging in 25% New American Oak. TASTING NOTES: Aromas of ripe red fruit, black berry pie, dried cranberries with hints of brown sugar and warm baking spices. Powdery tannins lend structure while maintaining elegance and ending in a long, lingering finish.

Iron Gategategate ARTIST SERIES 2016
IronIronIron GateGateGate ARTIST SERIES 2016 Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon | 19% Merlot | 5% Cabernet franc Alcohol: 14.5% abv TA: 6.37g/L pH: 3.75 Case Production: 249 cases Date Bottled: 5/2/18 Grape Source(s): Cabernet Sauvignon: Shaw Vineyard and Scooteney Flats Vineyard, Red Mountain AVA, WA Merlot: Scooteney Flats Vineyard, Red Mountain AVA, WA Cabernet franc: Six Prong Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills AVA, WA Aging: 19 months in 100% new French Winemaker Notes: Our inspiration for Iron Gate was a famous 100-point Bordeaux wine that Bettina gave to us almost a decade ago. While visiting Bordeaux, CC and I made a joke of getting our photo in front of the imposing gates of this great French Chateaux knowing they are not open to the public and their wine is sold mostly to collectors. We wanted to make our own premium Bordeaux blend that we could welcome our guests to enjoy at an accessible price. To create this wine, we sourced from some of the best growers and regions in Washington State, including sites in Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills. In 2016, both areas experienced a long, spectacular growing season allowing the grapes to develop ripe flavors and expressive aromatics. Aged in 100% new French oak to frame its age-worthy tannins, the resulting wine is dark, aromatic, and richly textured. A special thank you to artist Donald Rainville for this painting which became the wine's label. Tasting Notes: With flavors of black cherry, kola nut, and cinnamon, this contemplative blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet franc is a harmonic fusion between old world inspiration and new world terroir.

Columbia Winery™ Vision Red Blend Vintage 2018
Columbia Winery™ Vision Red Blend Vintage 2018 With roots dating back to 1962, Columbia Winery has been discovering and celebrating Washington wine for over 55 years. Columbia’s forward-thinking philosophy continues today in the hands of a talented and innovative winemaking team led by Winemaker, Sean Hails. We believe the sum of Washington is greater than its parts, inspiring winemaking and blending philosophies rooted in discovery, sourcing our fruit from across a range of Washington’s premier AVAs. Guided by our vision of high quality, approachable wines, each season we select premier vineyard sites, refine our oak regimen and cellar techniques to impart nuance, texture, and complexity in our wines. About the Wine: Our 2018 Vision Red Blend is a Rhône-style red blend borne of our Winemaker Sean Hails’ goal to create a blend with stand-out color, flavor and finish. For the 2018, Sean brought together three classic Rhône varieties: Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Vision brims with generous aromas of fresh-picked dark plum and tangy red cranberry with a unique hint of pepper spice from the Mourvèdre. Notes of ripe red and dark fruits reminiscent of cherry pie filling linger on the palate and mingle with hints of chocolate. Vision finishes with soft tannins and luscious, lengthy hints of fruit and spice that is richly satisfying. Vintage Notes: The 2018 Vision Red Blend was crafted primarily with grapes sourced from the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. We set our sites on the renowned Six Prong Vineyard, which offers consistent, high-quality fruit year after year. This site gives us complex, concentrated fruit, resulting in wines with ripe dark fruit notes and a touch less acidity.

Columbia Winery 2018 Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Franc
Columbia Winery 2018 Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Franc Washington’s original premium winery, Columbia Winery has been discovering and celebrating Washington wine for over 50 years. Winemaker Sean Hails blends classic traditions with innovative winemaking techniques to craft a distinct collection of Washington wines. Columbia Winery’s unrelenting curiosity and trailblazing heritage is reflected in the grape selection philosophy of premier vineyard sites within the Columbia Valley and its acclaimed AVAs, including Red Mountain, Horse Heaven Hills, Yakima Valley and Wahluke Slope. With a tasting room located just outside Seattle and a winery in Eastern Washington, Columbia Winery embodies Washington’s welcoming spirit, rich diversity and exceptional wines. About the Wine: Our 2018 Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Franc is rich and robust with medium weight tannins and balanced acidity. Notes of Bing cherry and ripe plum intertwine with subtle hints of dried sage, while wonderful oak notes of vanilla and spice tie this wine together. Our Cab Franc pairs well with a variety of foods from ribeye to mesquite smoked meats. Viticulture Notes: In 2018, we continued sourcing grapes from our favorite block of Alder Ridge Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. Perched high on the crest of a hill overlooking the Columbia River, this block receives a steady onslaught of wind that stunts the vines and produces tiny berries with intense color and flavor. The fruit has helped us win awards year after year. We harvested this block of Cab Franc on October 5, which is 13 days earlier than the previous year. The spring of 2018 vintage was temperate, which led to normal budbreak.
