JOSH'S NOTES - 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
Loving this wine and the 2022 vintage in Walla Walla. Showing off cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate, and dried figs. The growing season was long in the valley, finishing at the beginning of November! The mouthfeel is ultra silky with such a pretty structure and fined grained, glycerol finish - I can’t say enough about how the wine “feels”. There is the perfect amount of oak and tannin on this wine with flavors like plum and raspberry shining through. Enjoy now through 2037!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2023 Elizabeth Chardonnay
When we started this project, we really fell in love with trying to make Chardonnay like those of Chablis but obviously in our own version of the Walla Walla Valley lens. I think this new vintage may do that the best yet. Green apple, freshly cut pear, and hints of newly harvested hayfields. Lively, zesty acidity but with subtle richness to keep the wine balanced. This comes from Kenny Hill and Flying B Vineyards- two sites known for later ripening, lower alcohols, and more natural acidity- perfect for Chardonnay. Enjoy!
