The name ‘Estates Cuvée’ is also a definition: this high end glass pour-oriented blend originates from all five of our estate vineyards. Each site contributes in a special way, resulting in a declassified estate-grown wine that’s uniquely representative of the region. This bird’s eye view of our farm showcases the vibrant fruit and balancing acidity our region is known for, layered in with serious depth, structure, and color.
In a world of contrived red wine blends with obfuscated sourcing, Estates Cuvée stands apart as a breath of fresh air. We’re blending this approachable, food-friendly cuvée from our estate Red Mountain vineyards, respected by top winemakers from across the Pacific Northwest as some of the best in the business. Expect ample red and blue fruit, framed by generous acidity and barreled down for more than three years. We’re not entirely sure this wine pencils out, but it’s too tasty to stop making.
Blended to be the perfect glass pour for that corner bistro you really enjoy, we want Estates Cuvée to be a food-pairing superstar while offering plenty of layering and depth. To that end, we chose Malbec to headline the 2021 iteration, as its plush, easy-to-pair sensibilities shine in this application.
