Tasting Set Includes:
- Golden West Pinot Noir
Vintage leather, cedar, anise and wild strawberry begin this opus of luxuriously perfumed Pinot. The body is layered with pipe tobacco, morels and pie crust that come across the palate pure and full. Focused as its journeys to a seamless, endless crescendo. - Double Canyon Cabernet
This Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the essence of the varietal as expressed by this prestigious appellation. The persistent wind that combs across the desert landscape coupled with the unique terroir sets this place apart from any other winegrowing region in Washington State. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon with balance, structure, and elegance. - Intrinsic Red Blend
This wine opens with refined notes of raspberry, white tea leaves, a hint of fresh mint and lavender. The flavors are layered with milk chocolate fig reduction, dark plum and licorice root, and the texture is angular, yet sophisticated, with chocolate ganache details in the finish.
