JOSH'S NOTES - 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon
The new 2023 vintage of Bledsoe Family Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning example of a great growing season. Driven by red fruit, freshly picked blackberries, small hints of vanilla mixed with the sagebrush land that surrounds the vineyards. The mouthfeel is beautiful, generous, rich, soft, and layered, loaded with drinking pleasure. Another great example of quintessential Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon aiming to punch above its weight class. Enjoy!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2025 Elizabeth Chardonnay
This new vintage of Elizabeth is showing off aromatically. Coming from our estate vineyard, Coulee, in the Eola-Amity Hills, the diversity of the vineyard is evident in the glass. Lots of citrus - lemons, limes, even hints of grapefruit. There is a pretty sense of green apple, and the tiniest hint of straw. The palate is juicy, has tons of energy, fresh, and is screaming for food or warm weather, or both!
