Tasting Notes
Our dedication wine; my folks, Wilfred and Charlot and Vicki's dad, Frank.
A blend of our Cabernet Sauvignon from 2008 and Syrah from 2009.
It is rich, concentrated and full of purple fruits, smooth tannins and toasted oak. Explosive nose consisting of ripe bing cherry, wood smoke, tar and creosote. The new French oak is very evident.
In the mouth, flavors of blackberries, plum and S'mores compete with fine grain tannins on the palate. A wine with tremendous weight and length, richness and sensual appeal.

Details
Appellation: Columbia Valley
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Price: $35.00 bottle
Vineyards
45% The Benches Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills
55% Kiona Vineyard, Red Mountain
Tasting Notes
Dark purple robe. Black cherry, currants and cedar with polished oak in the nose.
Red/black licorice, pomegranate and then a rich dense black currant/cassis character explodes in your mouth. Plenty of tannins but this wine is very approachable. Drinks well now but will age beautifully.

Appellation: Columbia Valley
Varietal: 100% Syrah
Price: $25.00 bottle
Vineyards
Clifton & Clifton Hill, Wahluke Slope
Ranch at the End of the Road, Red Mountain
Tasting Notes
Deep red/crimson color. Aromas of campfire, charcoal, sweet oak stave; then a racy, slightly volatile note of ripe cherry, pine needles and forest floor. In the mouth, a viscous entry with cedar, plum and sassafras flavors. A long gentle finish with hints of vanilla and currants. Very few aggressive tannins make this wine immediately approachable. 22 months in French oak.
RULO SUNDANCE CHARDONNAY 2011
Details
Appellation: Wahluke Slope
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Price: $20.00 bottle
Vineyard
Sundance Vineyard
Tasting Notes
Light straw in color. Aromas of saline sea breeze, minerals and hints of melon in the nose. Still a nice yeasty element in the nose as well.
A wall of minerals and stone fruits engage your palate on entry. Great viscosity and length for a wine of such high acid and low pH.
Since 2006, we have been fermenting this vineyard in stainless steel barrels because we feel some elements of Sundance vineyard are best expressed without oak overlays. This is the closest thing to Chablis around.
