2006 Raptor
Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker: Hugh Remash
A muscular ripped rookie. We bottled this wine January 27th. We aged it 27 months in 2nd year Saury French ok -- the grape flavors were so deep and complex that we minimized the oak aromas to retain the Cabernet richness. (One of our many faults is a prejudice for big bad reds.) The heady CAbernet aroma suggests richness and complexity to come. Haevy bodied and angular, but we believe that it will mature into a splendidly smooth, graceful, muscular wine --think of one of those large NFL lineman ...

2006 Goose Ridge Syrah
Appellation: Columbia Valley
Winemaker: Hugh Remash

We're pre...

2005 Raptor
Appellation: Columbia Valley
Blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
Winemaker: Hugh Remash
We set out to make a highh quality Bordeaux right bank style wine: soft and spicy Merlot based (60%) pleasant Cabernet (30%) with some distinctive Cabernat Franc (10%). We aged it 26 months in new French barrels to provide vanilla and toast aromas. The Merlot aroma is plummy and the flavor is soft and haunting -- supple oak tannons finish along with coffee and chocolate flavors. Suave and elegant, the 2005 Raptor provides wine lovers with a smooth, round, hedonistic experience. I tend toward poe...
