The 2008 Columbia Valley Viognier is a blend of three Viognier blocks. Each vineyard is selected as a component to compliment to the blend as a whole. The color is a pale straw yellow. The nose is delicate with an intricate blend of lemon, orange blossom and peach. The mouth is a medium weight, round and crisp. The wine lingers with a peach pit finish.

The wine swirls into the glass with brick red constitution. The intense nose elevates to the brim with notes of cedar box, violet and sandalwood. The strength in the nose persists thru to the palate. Each note is smooth and round with layers of black current, crushed juniper berries and spiced plum. This extremely drinkable, long wine packs a powerful punch. Last night, the 2006 "Tsutakawa" Red Blend stood up to beef filets, porcini mushroom risotto, and asparagus sprinkled with parmesan reggiano.

“I could just smell this for hours,” said one while drinking the 2007 Columbia Valley Malbec. The aroma of clove, black pepper and cinnamon blending with black cherries captivates the sense of smell and encourages deep inhalations. In the mouth this wine also demands careful attention, the strong tannins hold up blueberry, black cherry, aniseed, cinnamon and clove. The finish is long and powerful.

For the first two years, we stared at this beautiful dirt. We noted the contours, the soil biology, the afternoon wind off the Blues, the climate and the sun pattern. We considered every aspect of the vineyard and how best to steward the vines to produce their best. First leaf, second leaf then finally third… we pick. It has been five years of love and labor squeezed into two barrels (37 cases) worth of Estate Viognier named “The Sparrow.” This one is for the à List only. The wine has a firm classic nose of peach, nutmeg and orange blossom. The mouth is firm yet full and round with peach pit and bright plump nectarine. The finish is a freshly cut apricot and lingers.

The 2006 Malbec's rich deep purple color emits layers of brambly fruit, fresh passion fruit, cedar and a little hint of clove. The wine trickles down to the back palate to reveal juicy guava nectar and spices. The finish lingers and permeates with more layers of brambly fruit.

It was a lazy summer afternoon under the shade of an oak tree where we sat as three generations of old and new family. While enjoying great stories, we drank some àMaurice Rosé. "It has a wonderful taste," shouted David. "Tastes like a strawberry rhubarb pie," Pete declared. "Who needs more?" my Dad said before he realized he was holding an empty bottle.

In the belly of the decanter the 2007 Viognier color is a pale yellow with light hints of warm hues. As the wine is poured into the glass, aromas of lemon meringue, nectarine, peach and honeysuckle rise. With further investigation the traditional àMaurice baby powder is found hidden behind the delicate fruit notes. It coats and lifts every inch of the palate. More nectarines and a little honeydew melon are tasted. The light crisp acidity is followed by a nutty peach pit finish. This wine hangs on like a long summer night.

The integrated aromas of cedar box, smoke and earthiness delicately mix with the sweet coca cola notes. The color is deep red with a watercolor purple halo. The sophisticated mouth reveals round spiced fruit, current, and wild berries which glide down the back palate. The alcohol gently lifts the palate with no trace of bitterness. Perfect with a hardy fall squash soup and spiced meats.

The Callahan, otherwise known as Blend E, emerged from 37 different trial blends. This wine is a gorgeous blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Cabernet Franc, 17% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec. The wine's garnet color bleeds into a deep velvety purple around the edge. The delicate smell of rose petals is nicely framed by plum, cigar box, and cassis. The wine's smooth richness is rounded out in the mouth with elegant supple tannins. The plum and cherry notes really follow through making this wine subtle and meaty at the same time. The Callahan's back is strengthened with lingering chocolate-raspberry, truffle, and spicy tobacco undertones. This is a wine that benefits from decanting. Given time, this wine will become more generous and morph into a rich and complex mixture of dark exotic and dried fruit with a long, austere, silky finish.

There is something honest about Malbec. Malbec is as true in the nose as it is in the mouth. A little toast from the barrel nestles between African passion fruit and huckleberries to give a wee hug to every taste bud. Our single vineyard Columbia Valley Malbec is passionate wine that is passionate about food. Enjoy with seasoned steaks, lamb, winter stews, and long nights in front of the fire.

This Merlot is a Cab in sheep's clothing. "Briar berry, cherry, and dark fruits including hints of blueberry, cassis, and stewed rhubarb. Nice, smooth oak integration with lovely toasty oak character, including saddle leather and pipe tobacco, coming from the single French barrel. Nice medium-plus acidity and great structure. Long, supple, lingering finish - very generous."

Liquid sunlight is the best way to describe our 2006 Viognier. The nose is a beautiful honeysuckle, baby powder, and citrus zest. Our Viognier enters the mouth to slowly release tropical fruit flavors. This dry wine has hints of pineapple upside-down cake, mango, and apricot. The great acidity makes this wine very food friendly.

Our 2005 Syrah we describe as our "gentle giant." It has a beautiful black-red color. The oak dances with the dark fruits in the nose to create a spiced pipe tobacco. When our Syrah enters the mouth, it lifts the palette to express deep dark plum, blackberry, and lavender notes.

At first approach to this glass of wine, one smells the delicate structure of Allier oak complimenting the Lewis, Willard, and Conner Lee minerality. It swirls together and creates a dusty, flinty backdrop to the vibrant apple blossoms and apricots. It floats down the mouth with balanced acidity with no buttery characteristics. It leaves the mouth with a fresh coating of apricot and pear.

This wine begs for food. The 2005 àMaurice Viognier's perfume of citrus peel, papaya seed, and honeysuckle combine with the fat mid-palette of pineapple and grapefruit.

One sniff of our 2004 Premier Blend exposes the loud minority member, Malbec; with only three percent, the Malbec of our blend adds the spice in the nose and palate. After a sip, your mouth is filled with plum pudding, cloves, and candied yams. Our goal was to produce a drinkable wine for our first release. Paired with grilled salmon, steaks or lamb, this wine adds just a touch of spice.
