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 - 2023 Viognier 
This wine is super nostalgic as Viognier was one of the very first grapes I made as a teenager here in Walla Walla. All estate grown, classic earl grey tea and fruit loops (linalool) aromas jump out and immediately bring back great memories. Fresh peaches and the slightest hint of whipped cream follow. The wine itself is rich and ripe while still being refreshing- a great balance. I am excited for summer with this new vintage!
