The most exciting vineyard planted in years, WeatherEye is perched on Red Mountain overlooking the Yakima Valley. Arguably the most extreme terroir in Washington State and under the guiding hand of Ryan Johnson, WeatherEye has quickly redefined the limit of what is possible in Washington wine. We are honored to work with head-trained Grenache grown on terraces of fractured basalt. This wine reflects that terroir. Classic savory aromatics of crunchy strawberry and raspberry fruit compote with infused hints of black pepper, lavender, orange peel, and minerality leap from the glass and integrate with a delicate, silky, yet powerful core. Les Terrasses is a true statement of this vineyard, the terraces, and the vintage.
A blend of Mourvèdre from WeatherEye, Boushey and Olsen Vineyard Mourvèdre. Raspberry, cherry, and spice dominate this wine, wrapped around a silky and plush mouthfeel. The 2022 La Paysanne is the first vintage that includes WeatherEye Mourvèdre into the blend and we love the added complexity that WeatherEye brings! La Paysanne is an ideal wine to pair with grilled food this summer. If you have the patience to cellar this wine for 5+ years, you will be rewarded!
La Fraternité pronounces bright red fruit from the moment you pull the cork. This Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah blend is a lively wine with layered aromas and flavors of strawberries, raspberries, kirsch, violets, and spice. On the palate, these flavors wrap around a silky medium body with a smooth, fresh, and lingering finish. This wine pairs nicely with roasted chicken, grilled pork, Ahi tuna, and salmon dishes.
This wine jumps out of the glass with an aroma profile of strawberry compote and ripe raspberries with nuanced herbs de provence and fresh floral elements throughout. On the palate, these aromas transform into a seamless set of layered flavors which are wrapped around a medium body with round tannins leading toward a fresh and expressive finish. An enjoyable wine now that will age gracefully for another 7-10 years.

Starting with the 2014 harvest, we decided to source additional fruit from our vineyard partners to create new barrel selection opportunities for the La Fraternité and En Hommage Rhone Blends. After finalizing the barrels which created those wines, and our special wine club blends, we blended the remaining barrels to release as our Red Wine. This wine is our tribute to the everyday Cotes du Rhone blends that are perfect to enjoy any night of the week.
