The 2015 Heart Box Red is 100% Merlot from Yakima Valley. It was aged for 30 months in 100% French Oak once-filled barrels.
The deep garnet red color glistens on your glass as you swirl, revealing aromas of black cherry. This wine features flavors of dark fruits, minerals, and cola, and finishes with jammy warmth.
The Betrayal is made from some of the oldest Chardonnay vines in Washington State. The grapes came from Domanico Vineyard in Prosser, Washington -- a small, family-owned vineyard that has been yielding premium wines in Washington since the mid-1970s.
This 100% Chardonnay was aged in French oak barrels for 24 months. The result is a wine that has a beautiful golden straw color and scents of warm apricot and cantaloupe. The flavor is warm and creamy with hints of baked apples and graham crackers, finishing with smooth tropical fruit.
The 2015 Unforeseen is 100% Cabernet Franc, aged for 36 months in 100% French oak barrels.
A dark red ruby color and aromas of black cherry and spice introduce flavors of ripe dark fruits, dark chocolate, and coffee before finishing with a slight hint of green pepper.
The 2018 Perseverance is 100% Viognier from Konnowac Vineyard in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA.
Fermented and aged in 100% Stainless Steel tanks, the amazing characteristics of this fruit shine through. This Viognier has a soft golden color, aromas of honeysuckle, flavors of pineapple, and a crisp and refreshing finish.
Porch Rosé of Syrah is always a fan favorite. 100% Syrah from Konnowac Vineyard in the Rattlesnake Hills, this wine has signature characteristics of aromas of warm strawberry fields, tastes of cranberry and black plum, and finishes crisp and dry. Perfect to enjoy on your porch, patio or deck this spring and summer.
For the past few years now, we’ve been partnering with Intrigue Chocolate in Pioneer Square in February to pair our wines with their confections. It’s become one of the most anticipated events in our Tasting Room, and definitely brightens up this dark time of year. We hope you’ll join us! You’ll have 6 opportunities to do so, so mark your calendars.

Abstract artist Amy Stone will be at the Tasting Room to introduce her work to all you local oenophiles, so be sure to stop by and say hello.
In Amy’s own words:
"I have been painting and drawing my entire life. I have a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Colorado and a Masters in Art Education from Hofstra University, but it wasn’t until my family and I relocated from New York to Seattle that I began to create art daily.
I am drawn to the idea of balance and imperfection and how that translates to the paper or canvas. Without knowing this was my goal, someone recently told me that my work reminds them of the Japanese term Wabi-Sabi.
Wabi-sabi represents Japanese aesthetics and a Japanese world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. We are forever growing, changing, learning, transitioning and it is difficult to find a balance of wife, mom, artist, friend, daughter, niece, cousin, aunt, and me. This idea is translated to my work as I strive to create a balance of color, texture, movement, and energy.
One can say that an artist’s work is never done, and mine is certainly never perfect, but we should all seek to find beauty in life’s imperfections.”
Take the opportunity to browse Amy’s work while enjoying some Viscon Cellars wines this Thursday. If you miss it this weekend she’ll be up through the end of March.
The color is deep, dark, opaque and inky, the darkest red wine I have ever made. Aromas of fresh sweet tobacco, warm toast, and jam are followed by tastes of blueberries, black tea, and dark chocolate.
Firm tannins give structure, while crushed black pepper and sugar plums round out the warm finish.
Beautiful deep dark color, aromas of black currant and anise, flavors of ripe blackberries, licorice and tobacco lead to soft tannins and a lingering vanilla finish.
The 2014 Heart Box Red is 100% Merlot from Yakima Valley.
This wine has a dark garnet color with aromas of black cherry and cedar. Soft graphite minerality leads to dark mocha flavors, finishing with warm clove and vanilla.
