2020 Zinfandel - Port Style - Released February 2024
Red Heaven Vineyard
This port-style Zinfandel is fortified with distilled spirits made with our own Red Mountain Cabernet Franc. Rich in texture with notes of plum and a butter walnut glaze, this wine has just enough sweetness to know you’re drinking a port with a dry finish accentuated by three years of aging in American oak. Multiple racking passes for clarification create a sleek texture with the look of stained glass. Drinkable now and will develop with age. 147 cases produced. 500ml
$45.00/bottle | Lake - $40.50 | Eagle - $38.25 | Pavillion Park - $31.50
Awards: Gold Medal - 2024 Pacific NW Wine Competition
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - Released February 2025
As our second Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, this 2021 vintage lives up to that designation. Aromas of berry compote, clove, and smoked sage lead to tastes of vanilla, sweet tobacco, mocha, and Luxardo cherry syrup. This wine has a long, plush finish and would be the perfect accompaniment to fresh sour dough and Italian olive oil.
Winemaker Comments: The new Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a new wine for us and another step up in quality which includes sourcing from the first vineyard planted on Red Mountain: Kiona’s 1975 “Old Block”. The 2021 vintage was exceptionally light as well with some of our Cabernet Sauvignon blocks yielding less than 1 ton per acre! Additionally, for the first time our Reserve Cab combines 4 different clones of this varietal, Napa clones 2 and 8, Mendoza clone 4, and French clone 33. Other wineries taking this approach for their Cabernet Sauvignon in Washington State include Quilceda Creek and Col Solare. Finally, the 2021 vintage represents a shift to French oak that produces a more restrained tannin structure while accentuating the classic aromatics of Red Mountain terroir.

2021 Heritage Reserve - Released May 2025
Wine Club Exclusive
We’ve saved the best for last of our 2021 vintage as we release our Heritage Reserve red blend. 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, this Wine Club exclusive wine is perfectly summed up by Wine Enthusiast reviewer M. Alberty by saying, “Rose petals flutter over decadent aromas of boysenberry gelato and cherry scones. The equally decadent palate features sweet black cherries, orange zest…” We also picked up notes of black forest chocolate cake and toasted marshmallow. It’s balanced and soft, a perfect execution of Heritage.

2021 Malbec - Released February 2025
Scooteney Flats Vineyard
Our 2021 Malbec is released with much anticipation. This wine hits all the sweet and savory notes desired in a wine. With the swirl of your glass plum, leather, and a surprise pepper note hit your nose. Tastes of sweet tobacco and caramelized sugar crust of a crème brulee bring a sparkle to your tongue. Wine Enthusiast nailed their description as, “dessert course on its own”. Bring a bottle to your next party!

2021 Petit Verdot - Released May 2025
Scooteney Flats Vineyard
With notes of anise and sassafras on the nose, this aromatic 2021 Petit Verdot sets itself apart from the 2020 vintage. When our staff tasted this wine many got notes of cheese (think Humbolt Fog goat cheese or pepper jack) and also a hint of tea. When tasted with smoked Swiss cheese, the fruit notes really came forward. This would be a great wine paired with a rich beef dish such as stroganoff.

2021 Syrah Reserve - Released November 2024
Ranch at the End of the Road & Red Heaven Vineyards
With smells of blackberry, anise, and a sweet BBQ rub on a brisket, this ‘21 Syrah then moves to rich tastes of smoky brandy, molasses, and unsweetened dark chocolate. This is one of our moodier Syrahs, reminiscent of an old western movie and great for enjoying in front of a fire either in your home or outdoors.

2021 TAHIJA.™ Sangiovese - Released May 2025
Candy Mountain Vineyard
