JOSH'S NOTES - 2022 Merlot
Pure 100% Merlot coming from McQueen and Schafer - two hillside sites on opposite ends of the Walla Walla Valley. Red and blue fruit, very pretty aromatics, and a subtle sense of balsamic. The wine is ultra silky, soft, so pleasing with bits of sandalwood and a great finish. Drink now through the next 10 years!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2022 Healy Rosé
The prettiest color we have had yet - pink with a salmon tinge! Fresh white flower blossoms and combinations of tropical and citrus with mango, lemon zest, grapefruit, and more. Low alcohol, beautiful acid, fantastic freshness and roundness. Begging for a day on a boat, a summer bonfire, or an awesome sushi pairing, this wine is versatile. I think this is my favorite rosé yet from intentionally sought out vineyard sites in the Walla Walla Valley.
