Petite Pearl $27
2021 was an excellent growing season: dry and warm weather meant the grapes could fully mature on the vine. Due to the high quality of the grapes, we chose whole cluster fermentation which allowed the wine to stay with the grape skins for an extended time, providing for a rich color and flavor. The pairing of fruit forward aromas followed by tastes of blackberry and cherry will leave you wanting more. A nice long finish awaits at the end of the glass.

Viognier $20
***SOLD OUT***
Viognier, ”Vee-own-yay” was developed and first planted in southern France. It later became adaptable to areas like Walla Walla and Columbia Valley, WA. It grows best in sunny vineyards with moderate temperatures and cool nights. We choose Viognier for a full body white wine. It’s aromas are floral with hints of peach & honeysuckle. The wine was placed in barrels for about four months to pick up hints of vanilla. It’s a great sipping wine and pairs well with chicken, turkey, & fish. Enjoy!
