Cases Produced: 83 Bottling Date: February 2, 2008 Wine Composition: pH: 3.81 TA: 0.56 g/100mL Alcohol: 14.8% Tasting Notes: “Not overpowering with oak allows the true fruit of the Walla Walla Valley to shine through.  Juicy cherry stands out, with a hint of vanilla close behind on the nose.   This wine fills the mouth with fruits like blackberries and finishes with spices that work very well together.”

The drinker can expect meat and spice intertwined with mid palate bursts of berry."

	Viognier 2007 Horse Heaven Hills (Columbia Valley) 100% Viognier McKinley Springs Vineyard Release Date: May 3rd and 4th Price: $18.00 Winemaker: Josh McDaniels Barrel Aging: 100% Stainless Steel for 7 months Cases Produced:  69 Bottling Date:  March 15, 2008 Wine Composition: pH: 3.44 TA: 0.58 g/100mL Alcohol: 13.9% Tasting Notes: “Aromas of pear and melon flow out of the glass with an underlying floral accent.  Easy drinking and crisp acidity work slowly over the palate for a strong, clean finish.  A perfect wine for those hot summer days.”

2005 Double Barrel Red Blend

Tasting Notes:

Dense, bold, fruit forward with good structure, tannins and a hint of oak. Balanced with a soft, spicy finish that lingers. It is a classic Walla Walla Valley Bordeaux style red blend
