JOSH'S NOTES - 2024 Elizabeth Chardonnay
I am stoked to be able to offer Elizabeth from our own estate vineyard, Coulee, in the Willamette Valley for the first time. As winter temperatures hurt us in Walla Walla in 2024, by good fortune, we were able to quickly pivot to some of the best Chardonnay in the world with this wine. Lemon zest, fresh cut pears and apples, honey dew, and ever-so-subtle hints of hay. This site is so complex in its ability to grow great Chardonnay. Texturally fresh, energized, and balanced by a great mid palate. A versatile wine, perfect for food - lunch, dinner, or maybe even breakfast if you must! However, the wine easily
stands alone. Enjoy!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2024 Stolen Horse Syrah
There is a ton going on in this new Stolen Horse Syrah. Aromatics of blackberry, stems, anise, umami, soy, smoked meats and much more. The wine starts off medium bodied and builds as it unfolds into a slightly larger tannin structure without losing balance. Even hints of lavender and wildflowers start to unfold as the wine opens more. This has potential for my favorite Stolen Horse as it is a complex show hailing from LeFore, Kenny Hill, and Flying B Vineyards. Drink now through 2040.
