Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

90 percent Merlot, 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from Seven Hills Vineyard. This vintage of perfect ripening weather gave us a forward wine, with softer tannins and an abundant berry fruit component. Has potential for integration and improvement with age over the next 1 to 3 years. New heavy toast Bossuet & Saury French oak lends an elegant finish to this wine. A classic Northwest Merlot. Deep black/purple color. Black cherry/raspberry fruit aromas are matched with an elegant French oak component. By mouth the wine is open, soft and forward with restrained acidity. Polished, lasting finish.

Seven Hills Winery, Washington
Seven Hills Winery Seven Hills Vineyards Winery Image

Established in 1988, Seven Hills Winery is proud to be among the founding estates of Walla Walla Valley. As pioneers who first championed the region, the winery’s heritage is built on longstanding relationships with the most renowned growers in the Northwest and a deep knowledge of the land. Their focus is crafting Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines that authentically reflect their places of origin.

Born to a farming family in Eastern Washington, Founder Casey McClellan learned about agriculture at a young age. Later, Casey and his wife, Vicky, began to cultivate an interest in wine and developed a long term vision to make wine from the family farm in Walla Walla Valley. They drew further inspiration during a European cycling trip through wine country, where they experienced wine as an integral foundation to these communities and an important, vital part of small town agricultural life.

As proprietors of one of the area’s first vineyards, the efforts of Seven Hills Winery have helped strengthen a community that values environmental stewardship to protect the future. For the past 15 years, they have practiced sustainable agriculture in order to be responsible guardians of the land, and currently hold LIVE and Salmon Safe certifications for their estate SHW Founding Vineyard.

Seven Hills Winery has always thrived to protect the environment and their communities. It has become clear to us that the emission of Green House Gases (GHG) not only is the biggest environmental threat, but also that the majority of environmental advances are tied to their ability to emit less GHG. They have embarked on a fundamental transformation of how they grow grapes and make wines and have joined international organizations such as the Porto Protocol and the International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA). They have committed to reduce their GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050.
