Named in honor of our Woodinville property, John’s enduring goal is to create a "house" white and red wine of high quality for a great price! A quintessential "porch pounder", our 2023 Bramble Bump White features flavors and aromas of ripe, juicy peach with an undertone of tropical fruits. Bright and acidic with a surprising softness on the palate, it is the perfect addition to your summer adventures. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this wine is ready to enjoy now. A great choice for summer brunches and picnics as well.

JM’s 100% Grenache Blanc hails from the esteemed Boushey Vineyard in Grandview, Washington. One of our favorite white varietals, Grenache Blanc was “fashionably late” to the harvest party in 2023, and proves that patience is a virtue in winemaking. Some of John’s most important decisions are made in the vineyards along with analyzing fruit chemistry prior to scheduling a pick. Most years, our Grenache Blanc makes an appearance by mid-harvest but in 2023 the Grenache Blanc was our last Washington pick - the only fruit coming in later was our Sonoma Coast Pinot! John made many stops at Boushey on his weekly 800-mile vineyard tours to sample and check on this fruit. The 2023 Grenache Blanc has refreshing crispness and flavors of citrus and melon rounded out by a smooth, silky body: perfect for a warm day. Fermented and aged in French oak (50% new, 50% used), this wine appeals to palates that enjoy a flavorful, aromatic white wine with all the most subtle characteristics of barrel fermenting and aging. Enjoy!

A quintessential Rhône Blend, the 2022 Thirty-Six Degree is driven by Grenache. The wine is a beautiful reflection of its dramatic growing site, perched on a thirty-six degree slope at the top of Red Mountain. Aromas of raspberry and cherry delight the senses. On the palate, the red berry expression is balanced with structure and an earthy minerality characteristic of fruit grown on this rugged and rocky site. Syrah and Mourvèdre lend depth and hints of spice and pepper. Well integrated tannins create an appealing finish making this a lovely red wine to enjoy on its own- while also pairing so well with a variety of dishes. Try it alongside a hearty vegetable stew, potato gratin, or roasted pork loin.

Carmenérè is a unique grape, originating in Bordeaux, but found mostly in Chile these days. We planted our Carmenérè in Margaret’s Vineyard in 2007, but John’s first vintage of Carmenérè was 2007, sourced from Seven Hills Vineyard. Our 2022 Carmenérè includes Margaret’s Vineyard Carmenérè , and Seven Hills Carmenérè from the same block we picked from in 2007. The 2022 vintage of this wine has the rich dark pepper character unique to the Carmenérè grape. Aged for eighteen months in 60% new French oak, this wine drinks beautifully now but should age well for 10+ years. Enjoy!

The 2022 Cabernet Franc showcases the very best of the two blocks of Cabernet Franc grown on Margaret’s Vineyard. Margaret’s Vineyard fruit is sustainably grown and meticulously managed and that is reflected in the quality of wines produced. The 2022 Margaret’s Cabernet Franc possesses the hallmark attributes of a classic Bordeaux style, single varietal Cab Franc. We think you’ll be wow’d by the rich raspberry and pomegranate aromas and flavors, subtle green pepper and flint on the nose and finish, and tannins that evolve throughout the wine. Enjoy this very special wine!
