2012 Heart Box Red Merlot

Merlot
Yakima Valley
13.0% Alc. by Vol.

Heart Box Red will capture your heart. We named this wine after our oldest daughter’s practice of catching and locking our kisses in her “heart box” so she could take the kisses out whenever she needed one. She designed this label when she was 3 years old, it has been an icon of this wine ever since. Like us, you will find yourself wishing for one more pour of this delightful wine.
 
The 2012 Heart Box Red is 96% Merlot, blended with 2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, all from Alder Ridge Vineyard in the Yakima Valley. This wine was aged for 24 months in 25% new American Oak barrels and 75% once-used French Oak barrels.  

The deep red color glistens on your glass as you swirl, leading to smells of ripe berries and a hint of vanilla. Tastes of warm black cherries are complimented with subtle mocha flavors releasing soft tannins and finishing with a velvety light toast.

Sometimes in winemaking, as in life, you encounter situations when you need to put your trust in others.  This 100% Cabernet Franc Rosé is especially important to us because it was crafted with the love and support of our friends and family during a time when events reminded us just how little we control our own lives and how important it is to value those we love.  Our village of support helped us to bring this fruity and silky Rosé from the Alder Ridge vineyard to your home. 

2012 Perseverance Viognier

Viognier
Columbia Valley
13.9% Alc. by Vol.

In our home, we often marvel at our youngest daughter’s one track mind to get what she wants at any cost and note that her “perseverance” will be a valuable asset in her future.  When we were considering names for our 2012 Viognier, we couldn’t help but recognize the same perseverance in our efforts to bring this delicious wine to your table. This 100% Viognier has a clean apricot aroma with a smooth and warm finish. A favorite at our home, perfect with appetizers or as a simple glass on the patio.
