All of our wines are crafted to be aged for many years, the number of which we will only know with time. Please stock up so you can regularly sample the wines and not miss any intermediate combinations of subtle aromas that may be short lived or transitions to more complex flavor components. We like to say that we appreciate all phases of wine flavor profiles, but that we only release the wine when the symphony is ready to play!

2001 Kestrel View Estates Vineyard : Yakima Valley

ALL SOLD OUT (sorry!)

(read reviews)

The grapes for our Yakima Valley blend were sourced from the exceptional vines of Kestrel View Estates Vineyard in Prosser, but it also includes a drop of Klipsun Cabernet for mid-palate appeal and a dash of Ciel du Cheval Petit Verdot for color and flower notes.

67% Cabernet Sauvignon (4% Klipsun)

16% Merlot

16% Cabernet Franc

1% Petit Verdot (Ciel du Cheval)

Aged in 84% new French oak barrels for 21 months; 156 cases + 6 bottles were bottled on 6/28/03.

The Yakima Valley and particularly the vineyards north of Prosser are clearly cooler growing sites than those of Red Mountain. You will be very pleased to experience the contrast in style and terroir between our Ciel and Kestrel View Estates Vineyard wines.

The Kestrel is distinctly less intense, softer and more supple with raspberries circling the rich vanilla that is a more forward expression of our French oak barrels. We like to say this wine is much more feminine in its mouth feel. But, gentlemen...this is not a wimpy wine!
