This 2017 vintage of our Rhett’s Red Reserve Red Wine blend showcases a delicious and bold Barbera blend in honor of Rhett, our winery dog.  The wine opens with fragrant aromas of vanilla, brown sugar and candied fig. A juicy palate of rich plum finishing with a hint of black pepper. This blend has a perfect balance of fruit and acidity. Pair with ravioli and Italian dishes.

To know Rhett is to understand why dogs are human’s best friend. A joy at home or afield, he is one of the best bird pointing Labradors anywhere. Cheers! Amazingly intelligent, he is joyful in the field and at home with his faithful companion, Robb.  He is complicated and nuanced as his namesake wine.

The original winery dog, to have known Rusty is to understand why dogs are (hu)man's best friend.  A joy at home or afield, he was one of the best bird pointing Labradors in the country. A toast to Rusty, like this wine, he was one of the best.  Cheers!

Our 2018 Chardonnay is sourced from the fabled McDuffee Vineyard in The Dalles. Due to our cooler climate, Oregon Chardonnay has a higher acidity level than California, making them more like true Burgundians. We avoid new oak for our Chardonnay, reaching instead for sur lie aging in neutral American Oak. A perfect malolactic fermentation is achieved to complete the lovely and complex flavor profile of the 2018 vintage without an over oak feel.

The wine opens with nutty aromas of toasted hazelnut and hints of pineapple. A rich, creamy vanilla custard palate follows. This lush wine rounds off with a velvety soft, caramel finish. Delicious!
