Tasting Notes

“Semillon is one of the traditional Washington state varieties and has quite a bit of “weight” for a tank fermented wine. This wine delivers aromas and flavors of fig, ripe melon with a hint of spice. We added Sauvignon Blanc for a crisp, refreshing quality and to complement the natural richness of Semillon. Try with Chinese food (not too spicy), I think you’ll be surprised.”
-Bob Bertheau, Head Winemaker

The Vineyards
  • Sourced from Columbia Valley vineyards, including our own Horse Heaven Vineyard.
  • Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and receive just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually.
  • Sandy soils with low fertility and low water-holding capacity enable precise control of vine growth.
  • Warm, sunny days and cool evenings create ideal conditions for aroma and flavor development in the ripening grapes.
