Storyteller

Four wines, one incredible story that captures the heart of the Walla Walla Valley.

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 - 2023 The Mac
The new “The Mac” is a Cabernet based blend with 32% Syrah added in - a perfect harmony in Washington State. Aromatically showing off the two varietals with blackberry, hints of Syrah green and black pepper, and whafts of the desert landscape the Cabernet was grown in. The wine itself has soft tannins that are gentle, balanced, and build slowly to a fantastic, chewy finish. This is a very versatile wine for food pairing- enjoy!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2023 Flying B Estate
Our Flying B estate vineyard is located right at 1,000 feet in elevation alongside of a creek bed that only has water for about half of the year. The site itself sees our highest temperatures in the heat of summer, along with the Valley’s biggest temperature swings when the sun sets and cool air rushes down from the Blue Mountains. Partially fermented in concrete tulips, this wine is aromatically intense with blackberry cobbler, hoisin sauce, and black pepper. The wine comes in softly and builds with tannin. It is ultra concentrated and rich. The 2023 vintage is shining in this example. Cheers!

JOSH'S NOTES - 2022 Stolen Horse Syrah
This could be my favorite Stolen Horse yet- ultra deep, rich purple. Gobs of lavender, garrigue, fresh plums, and olives erupt from the wine aromatically. Really smells like the landscape in which it was grown and reminiscing of my teenage years working in the Loess Vineyard at Leonetti and the lavender planted at each end row. Ultra silky tannins that are rich and round with black cherry and cigar wrapper notes and a long finish. Enjoy this wine now through the next 15 years!
