 The 2025 Spring release 

Club ALLOCATION WINES

2023
The DISSIDENT

Cabernet Sauvignon

76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 4% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot

The 2023 Dissident is crafted from some of Washington State’s finest vineyards. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Phinny Hill and Ciel du Cheval vineyards form the core of this exceptional blend. The Dissident is specifically designed to complement our flagship wines, Dead Horse and Long Haul. While Dead Horse and Long Haul are crafted for long-term aging, the Dissident is made to be more approachable, offering a wine that shines in its youth.

MARK’S TASTING NOTES:

Intermingling black and red fruits, cedar, and baking spice. The palate produces mouth-watering acidity supporting a tapestry of black and red fruits alongside cigar box complexity. Its elegant structure promises impressive aging potential. Undeniably delicious

2023
Wild Eyed

Syrah

100% Syrah

The 2023 Wild Eyed syrah is crafted from premium fruit sourced from Quintessence, Angela’s, and Olsen vineyards. A blend of five exceptional syrah clones provides depth and complexity. Clone 383 contributes dark, brooding aromatics and flavors, while Clone 174 brings vibrant primary fruit and sweet spice. Clone 877 bridges the gap between these two, adding layers of sweet fruit with a dark, savory core. Clone 470 intensifies the wine with smoke, spice, and deep fruit notes, while the Phelps clone ties everything together with remarkable purity and concentration. Our goal with Wild Eyed is to showcase the character of warmer-climate Washington State Syrah.

MARK’S TASTING NOTES:

A beautiful deep purple hue in the glass with aromas of concentrated dark berries, luscious plum, and warming vanilla. This approachable wine delivers a soft mouthfeel complemented by refined tannins and refreshing acidity. Dark cherry and ripe plum notes intertwine with sophisticated wood spice, leading to an irresistibly juicy finish.

Limited Production Wines

2024
Viognier

Viognier

100% Viognier

Our 2024 Viognier is sourced from two distinct vineyards in the Yakima Valley AVA: Red Willow on the far western edge and Olsen on the eastern side, near Red Mountain. The cooler climate and exceptional terroir at Red Willow contribute elegant floral aromatics and bright citrus flavors while the warmer, south-facing slopes of Olsen yield ripe melon and tropical fruit notes. This vintage was aged for six months in a mix of vessels to achieve depth and balance: 58% used French oak, 26% stainless steel, 9% new French oak, and 7% concrete egg. The concrete enhances mouthfeel like oak while maintaining the pure aromatics. The new French oak imparts subtle layers of sweet spice and added texture, while the used oak component enriches mouthfeel without overwhelming the wine’s natural character. Stainless steel preserves the delicate aromatics and brings a vibrant freshness to the palate.

MARK’S TASTING NOTES:

Beautiful brightness in the glass with a nose that reveals layers of ripe peach, delicate orange blossom, apricot, and subtle vanilla nuances. The palate experiences remarkable freshness — full-bodied yet precisely balanced with vibrant peach and citrus flavors culminating in a pristine, clean finish.

2022
LOST SOUL

Syrah

100% Syrah

The Lost Soul is a single-vineyard expression of RedWillow vineyard syrah, sourced from two distinct blocks rooted in dramatically different soils. WhileWild Eyed showcases the warmer-climate side of syrah, the Lost Soul embodies its cooler-climate counterpart. Our winemaking approach with this wine is intentionally hands-off, allowing the unique character of Red Willow vineyard to shine. Like Wild Eyed, the Lost Soul is aged in thick-staved, 500-liter French oak barrels. However, what sets it apart is its extended aging program—spending a total of 30 months in barrel, an additional 12 months compared to Wild Eyed.

MARK’S TASTING NOTES:

Distinctive aromas of bright red cherry, rich blueberry compote, and hints of stony minerality. This wine exhibits remarkable verve — immediately approachable yet structured for cellar development. Dark berries and violet notes form the core, enhanced by subtle black pepper and vanilla accents that carry through an impressively lengthy finish.
