-
Dense red accompanied by the scent or plums, ripe cherries, leather and smoke. In the mouth this wine shows concentration and weight. Flavors of cherry cola plums, cinnamon and dark chocolate coat your mouth as the tannins take hold and add dimensions and structure to the wine. This wine shows good balance in the long finish . - Opening aromas of warm boysenberry cobbler overlay slightly rustic nutmeg and earthy spices...
- Each year, Dunham Cellars blends a portion of its wines into this red table wine. Using fruit from all of their estate vineyards and using the same barrels in which our finest Cabernet, Merlots and Syrah's are aged, we are able to maintain the consistent high quality of our top wine, as well as create a great everyday wine that is price-friendly.
- Trutina reflects a much warmer year with more fruit push in the nose. Aromas of sun-ripened strawberries and juicy plums weave a palate with cherry lightly touched by graphite and cola. Powerful and elegant, this remarkably balanced wine lingers with a long, smooth finish.
- This 100% Lewis Estate Chardonnay perfectly balances the clean, fruit-forward characteristics of a stainless steel fermentation with the creamy texture of a barrel fermentation. Opening hints of lemon, graham cracker and pure vanilla assure an elegant entry on the palate. Notes of apple, pear and a fleeting flintiness mid-palate lead to a lingering, smooth finish. Enjoy now or lay down, if you can wait!.
- This wine balances complex components of key lime, meringue, lemongrass and savory spices with honey and pine nuts. Crisp, mouth-watering green apple and kiwi combine with vivacious acid and minerality. Enjoy now or lay down, as this one has magnificent aging potential.
- This medium bodied Cabernet Sauvignon is both lithe and expressive, with embracing tannins wrapping gently around a focused core of dried herb-accented black cherry and licorice flavors, dancing with finesse on the finish.
- This Washington Petite Sirah is a dense, firm and expressive effort from Stone Tree vineyard one of the warmest vineyards in WA state. It offers up chewy black plum and blueberry flavors that linger easily against those big refined Petite Sirah tannins.
- This Syrah is a WA classic with fresh and vibrant blueberry and cassis flavors, shaded with mineral and pepper notes that linger enticingly on the open finish. It is also aptly the name of Dusted Valley’s wine club The Stained Tooth Society.
- Cardamom and freshly baked rhubarb pie with apples and spice..
- Sourced entirely from the estate vineyard, this is two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Merlot, with just a splash of Petit Verdot. Fat, juicy, toasty and deliciously flavorful, it opens quickly into a plush midpalate, with pomegranate and raspberry fruit dominant. Streaks of caramel and nougat thread through the generous finish. Enjoy right now.
- Aromas of pineapple upside cake, apple tart & sweet cream w/ a supple fruity sweet medium-full body & a long, rich golden raisin, clementine and honey finish.
- This wine is a blend from three different Merlot blocks, including fruit from our twenty year old Hyatt Merlot block. The wine has a fruit driven palate with red hints of cherries in the finish, good balance, and smooth tannin structure.
- Syrah is a fairly early ripening grape, so the good weather meant the Syrah grapes were picked fairly early. Sugar levels were not an issue and acids stayed in a good range. We were able to pick at the peak of ripeness; this Syrah exhibits dark red color and distinctive Syrah aromas of spice and tropical fruit and balanced tannins.
- Crisp, clean finish with nice aromas. With “threshold” residual sugar and fine acid for balance, this wine is bright and palate-cleansing and delivers the tasty, refreshing flavors that make Pinot Gris a terrific match for many cuisines.
- Crisp, clean finish with nice aromas. Good sugar/acid balance delivers tasty, classic Washington State Riesling abundant with multiple stone-fruit flavors.
- The Columbia Valley is wonderfully suited to ripen Cabernet Sauvignon, and Ciel du Cheval Vineyard on Red Mountain gets it right every year. Experience a bouquet of cassis, raspberries, and vanilla. The palate is dense and balanced with notes of black currant and chocolate. Polished tannins frame a lengthy finish.
- The Weinbau Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and well-structured on the palate with lots of dark fruit and chocolate flavors. It has a perfumed, expressive nose of cassis, black raspberries, and spice. It is well-balanced with wonderful texture and a long finish that bodes well for its long cellar potential.
- Weinbau Vineyard is located on the Wahluke Slope and is one of the oldest vineyards in the appellation. The Cabernet Franc and Malbec in the blend both come from this vineyard as well as a good portion of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Champoux Vineyard contributes the remainder of the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. Located in the Horse Heaven Hills, Champoux Vineyard is one of the state's most revered vineyards. It provides great suppleness and concentration to the blend, while the Weinbau adds structure and length. Merlot, the final contributor to the blend, comes from the renowned Klipsun Vineyard.
- The nose is brimming with blackberries, currants, and rich dark chocolate. Medium full on the palate with an elegant, lively mouth-feel and a long finish packed with fresh berry and cherry flavors.
- Raspberry, red currant, plum and spice notes in the nose that complement fleshy, black fruit and cocoa flavors in the mouth.
