Double Gold - Best of the Best - Wine Press NW 2016

Gold - Indy International Wine Competition - 2016

A wine that really shows off the terroir of our old vine Cabernet, starting off with dark aromas of very black fruit, black currant, and a hint of Oregon mint, with flavors of blackberry, currant, smoky oak, and ripe plum all on a firm, tight grained structure built for aging.  Truly special paired with blue cheese.

A dark, dense, almost brooding style of Cabernet desrving of a Reserve label, with abundant flavors and aromas of black cherry, black currant, and toasted oak, ending wit rich, ripe, chewy tannins.  Needs some cellar time or pairing with a big, thick steak to truly appreciate.

This surprisingly forward version of Malbec opens with explosive lavender and floral aromas that leap from the glass.  It follows on with vibrant red cherry and spicey white pepper that almost overwhelms your palate. So agressive in style we suggest just enjoying it solo to truly appreciate everything stuffed in this beauty.

Gold – 2023 Texas International Wine Competition

A very elegant style blend opening with wonderful red fruit and red cherry aromas.  Next comes the flavors of ripe red plums and Ranier cherries, with hints of coconut, clove and French oak spice.  Great paired with almost any red meat, or maybe try with grilled eggplant with a red tomato sauce for something unusual.

This fantastic blend of all six red Bourdeaux grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Carmenere.  Flavors and aromas of brighter red fruits, violets, and black currant with touches of salty vanilla smoothly glide to a long, elegant finish.  This party of six is ready to join your table!

Our hottest year yet with temperatures on Khayam's Block topping 120 degrees have again created a very dark, concentrated wine with spicy aromas of red raspberry and white pepper, followed by sweet black currant, blackberry, and black walnut flavors all supported by wonderful oaky tannins.  Begs to be paired with anything grilled.
