Tucked away on a private property, we are a small, family-owned winery producing hand-crafted wines in the heart of Woodinville Wine Country. We share our love of wine and community with some of the best wineries this industry has to offer. We're proud to be a part of growing wine region that is rapidly increasing in popularity. An effort to produce outstanding wines is an obvious pursuit for many of us in this business. However, we see our connection with friends, community, partners and newcomers as the pinnacle of our efforts. We can only be so fortunate if our wines are respected half as much. We have but one winemaker yet many creators. The back half of 2007 was host to our inaugural release, first with our signature Late Harvest Viognier followed by four of the six 2005 reds in December and our Cab Franc blend in February '08. The 2005 Merlot has been bottled and will be released sometime in the coming months. Roughly 28 months in the barrels, this is winemaker-Mike's favorite of the 2005s. After a few years of waiting patiently and developing the first of our commercial releases, 2008 has been an exciting time for us and all those who have supported and encouraged us. We are currently underway with the bottling of the 2006 vintage and will begin releasing these wines in fall of 2008. We've been thrilled with the response to our first vintage, the 2005s, but we are anxious to present our next vintage to you in the coming months. There is very little 2005 left and we anticipate being completely sold out of these wines before our 2006 release. VISITING THE WINERY: At this time visits/tastings are by appointment only, but we're very flexible. We invite you to join us any Saturday 12-4 if you are interested in visiting us to taste and purchase our wines. Schedule a little extra time than normal because Mike, our Winemaker, is always pleased to share the operation with anyone who's interested.
