2023 Chardonnay Columbia Valley
This inviting Chardonnay delivers a wonderful balance of richness and lively acidity. It offers fresh notes of kumquats and white blossom with hints of white peach and honey. The wine's complexity is heightened by the use of lees stirring which contributes yeastiness and viscosity. The 2023 Nine Hats Chardonnay was sourced from the Yakima Valley’s French Creek vineyard. The blend of these two sites combines the rich texture to the balanced bright acidity of the cooler site. This wine was fermented in French oak barrels, concrete eggs and stainless steel for added layers and aged for 9 months on the lees.

Pinot Gris
Columbia Valley
Sourced from Headquarters Vineyard in the Yakima Valley, where a constant breeze moderates temperatures to capture fresh flavors and give the wine its vibrant mouthfeel. A light squeeze of the grapes on the press and a cool fermentation is used to enhance the Pinot Gris’ racy character. This medium-bodied Pinot Gris offers vibrant aromas and flavors of white peach, orange blossom, honeysuckle and ripe citrus that lead to a pleasantly crisp finish.

Columbia Valley
This Chardonnay offers beautiful aromas and flavors of white peaches, jasmine flowers and ripe stone fruits. A vibrant entry reveals a creaminess on the mid-palate that complements its rich character and elegant finish. Sourced from top vineyards in the Yakima Valley, the French Creek Vineyard provided texture and richness and the Boushey Vineyard its brightness and acidity. The wine was aged for ten months in 35% French concrete eggs, which contribute to its freshness and minerality. A broad mid-palate and depth in the finish can be attributed to the 65% that was aged in French oak barrels (half new, half neutral).

Julia’s Dazzle Rosé
Columbia Valley
Fresh and lively with bright aromas and flavors of orange blossoms,
strawberries and ripe melon complemented by a racy acidity that lingers
across a clean, off-dry finish.
Grapes from select Columbia Valley vineyards were left to hang until
they developed a bright tint, then gently pressed and the clarified
juice slowly fermented at cool temperatures to retain the wine's
intensely vibrant aromatics and flavors.
