Our 2021 Chardonnay is a single varietal wine grown locally at Roundtree Vineyard here in Selah. The cool Selah nights and warm days contributed to well-ripened grapes which held their acidity well. During production, the Chardonnay spent 24 months in neutral French oak barrels and underwent partial malolactic fermentation. Doing this softened the edges of the natural acidity giving freshness and character which are evident in its elegant mouthfeel. Due to the use of neutral oak, very little oak flavor characteristics are evident, allowing the fruit to shine in the glass.

Pinot Gris is a white wine grape believed to have originated in the Burgundy region of France. It is a member of the extended Pinot family of grape varieties and is specifically known as the red skinned genetic mutation of Pinot Noir.  

Our Estate Rosé label features our beloved fur baby Lady. Lady is a strawberry blonde Alaskan Klee Kai (mini husky) with a full white undercoat.  She loves roaming the property and chasing birds in the vineyard. She gives the best kisses and is just the cutest dog on a wine bottle!  

The grape skins and seeds were kept in contact with the juice and cold soaked for 12 hours before pressing and fermented in stainless steel. Aromas of spring peach blossoms, stoney minerality, strawberries and cream and pink bubblegum permeate the glass.  The palate is dry and offers red apple, light grapefruit, strawberry-rhubarb and ripened peach.  The perfect summer wine! 

This wine will pair delightfully with fresh salmon, soft cheeses, such as goat cheese or brie, as well as basil pesto antipasto and cured meats.

The 2020 Chardonnay is a single varietal wine grown locally at Roundtree Vineyard here in Selah. The cool Selah nights and warm days contributed to well-ripened grapes which held their acidity well. During production, the Chardonnay spent 19 months in neutral French oak barrels and underwent partial malolactic fermentation. Doing this softened the edges of the natural acidity giving freshness and character which are evident in its elegant mouthfeel. Due to the use of neutral oak, very little oak flavor characteristics are evident, allowing the fruit to shine in the glass. Aromas are delicate with bruised apple and cream. On the palate its gentle flavors glide through yellow apple and pear up front, followed by subtle notes of cinnamon, saline, and lemon custard in the finish. At 4 years of age, this Chardonnay is in a beautiful place.

Zweigelt is the most popular red wine varietal in all of Austria. It is named after Professor Fritz Zweigelt who in 1922 crossed St. Laurent with Blaufrankish. His hope was to create a more disease resistant variety able to thrive in the cooler climate terroir of Austria.  Its vibrant color, wide variety of food pairings and ability to be served slightly chilled make it a great wine to enjoy year-round. Zweigelt is our favorite red wine to sip throughout the long hot summer months. 

The growing conditions in Selah, with our long spring and cool nights are an excellent match for this varietal. The 2021 vintage displays this fact quite well. This vintage was aged for 22 months in neutral French oak, giving a well-balanced profile with pure fruit expression. 

The aromas display a floral bouquet of red rose, star anise and raspberry tart while the palate is bursting with raspberry, blackberry, cherry pie, cinnamon and licorice. Medium-light body and low tannins with the presence of fruit and the juicy acidity make it quite versatile for pairing with an array of foods.  

Try pairing with pork loin and roasted beets, Thai food, pasta with meat sauce, Thanksgiving dinner, BBQ or salmon ceasar salad.

The Captain is a tribute to Kristen’s dad, Gregg Couch, who dedicated over 40 years to the fire department.

We honor and respect the sacrifice of the men and women who protect America’s communities on the front lines every day. Thank You First Responders!

This uniquely local red blend was naturally grown in an environmentally conscious manner which highlights its sense of place. In order to guide this sense of place from the vineyards to the glass, only neutral French oak barrels were used for aging, imparting texture and maturity to the wine without compromising the expression of the fruit. Upon the first sniff and sip, The Captain blossoms with fresh fruit notes comprised of black cherry, blackberry, blueberry, and currants, framed beautifully with aromas of violets and a dusting of mint and bay leaf. Its firm chalky tannins and spicy acidity balance beautifully into a juicy mouthfeel bursting with character. Although this wine exudes freshness from the first pour, we recommend a one hour decant to maximize the complexity of flavor.
