Our 2018 Malbec Reserve* is a Tasting Room favorite!  McKinley Springs Vineyards are the original players in the now fabled Horse Heaven Hills AVA. This 2018 vintage displays a beautiful magenta color. The wine opens with aromas of chocolate covered cherries, vanilla, hints of cinnamon bark and white pepper. A balanced palate of marinated cherries and cocoa powder. The richness of the palate leads to a soft spice finish with medium tannins.

2019 Dampier Pinot Noir Reserve comes from Dampier Vineyard on the north side of the Columbia River in Underwood Mountain, WA. At approximately 1,100 feet, this vineyard benefits from southern facing slopes with great exposure to the sun and cool Gorge winds throughout the growing season. Our Dampier Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir Red Wine is taken from the Eastern most rows which gain additional flavor from this slightly different soil and exposure. The wine delivers a gorgeous color with soft berry aromas of warm cherry, wood & forest and spice. A palate of strawberry leading to a bright finish, and lingering acidity make this a perfect food accompaniment.

Inspired by the delicious Rhone blends our 2018 The Daughters’ Reserve*, is a unique blend of three varietals; Mourvèdre, Grenache and Malbec. The elegant, fruity character derived from Grenache is complemented by the spicy character of the Mourvèdre. Fruit forward, perfume aromas of white blossom, raspberry puree and soft pepper. A lovely balanced palate of rich fruit, milk chocolate with soft acidity. Gentle tannins make this a delicious wine for afternoon gatherings with family and friends. This is a versatile blend suited for almost every food pairing.
