Our current releases:

2006 SEMILLON

This white Bordeaux style wine is a blend of 97% Semillon from Rosebud (old vines) and Stillwater vineyards completed with 3% Sauvignon Blanc. This barrel fermented wine was aged for 5 months in 20 % new American oak to form a complex, rich and age worthy wine. The pineapple, mango and citrus bouquet gives way to a crisp and elegant dry wine with just a hint of butter in the aftertaste which should develop over the next 2-3 years. This wine pairs well with slow roasted poultry, yet has the structure to stand up to foods such as spicy and exotic Thai or Indian dishes. Bronze Medal, National Women's Wine Competition

Alcohol 14.1%, Production 190 cases, Retail $ 9.95/split, $ 17.00/bottle, Club $ 8.45/split $ 14.45/bottle

2007 MERLOT ROSÉ (SOLD OUT!)

Our second vintage of Rosé is a blend of 90% Merlot from Conner Lee completed with 10% Semillon from Rosebud vineyard. After 3 days of cold soaking, the Merlot began fermentation with the skins, to extract the beautiful rich burgundy color. The juice completed fermentation in the barrel, Semillon added, and then aged 6 months in neutral oak prior to bottling. Unfined and unfiltered to preserve the complex flavors. This refreshing & dry rosé wine was cold stabilized prior to bottling. The dark cherry bouquet shows first on the palate with a hint of rose petal and slight citrus finish. Most will enjoy chilling this very dry wine which perfect for a warm sunny day. This wine pairs well with a tremendous variety of appetizers, cedar planked salmon, poultry dishes or just light foods on the deck or boat.

2004 MERLOT (Limited -3 Bottles per customer) Sorry, No Merlot coming for our 2005 vintage.

A freeze in early 2004 caused incredible shortages, particularly in Walla Walla, but allowed us to discover some new, wonderful vineyards including Sheridan in Yakima Valley and Candy Vineyard in the Tri cities area. Staying similar to our style of picking late in the season helping to extract ripe, complex flavors, this Merlot has the structure and tannins to age 10 + years gracefully. It shows the wonderful merlot traits of chocolate and berries, with a bit of candy bouquet.

Alcohol 14.7%, Production 73 cases, Retail $ 24.00/bottle, Club $ 20.40/bottle

2004 SYRAH

Our latest Syrah combines dark, rich and intense fruit from Destiny Ridge (in the new Horse Heaven appellation), and Dineen Vineyard (next to Sheridan) in the Yakima Valley. The combination of 50% new French oak, 16% New American Oak, and the balance neutral French oak structures this wine to cellar for many years. This big, compact, tight knit, multi layered wine shows hints of black pepper, soft leather and mocha, with blueberry on the finish. Because of its intensity, it will benefit from decanting and bottle aging. For those who enjoy lush, concentrated wines, this Syrah pairs well with rich meat dishes.

Alcohol 14.9%, Production 150 cases, Retail $30.00 / Club $ 25.50

2006 Cabernet Franc (Limited)

Our Cabernet Franc begins with 85% Cabernet Franc from Chelle den Pleasant Vineyards (Dennis Pleasant) in the Yakima valley, blended with a 15% Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon from Conner Lee vineyards near Othello. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months in new oak barrels. This wine is medium dark cherry in color, with flavors of raspberry and scents of blueberry, sweet oak and vanilla. This tightly knit wine pairs well with delicate meat dishes, pork with fruit chutneys, or rich poultry dishes with reduction wine sauces. Though elegant in flavor while young, we encourage you to cellar this wine and watch it develop over the next 4-6 years.

Alcohol 14.3%, Production 74 cases, Retail $ 25.00/bottle, Club $ 21.25/bottle

2004 SUNRISE BLEND

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The challenges for Washington State in 2004 created some wonderful blending opportunities. Through the use of neutral oak barrels, we created a soft, fruit forward wine emphasizing the Cabernet flavors with soft mellow tannins. There is no need to wait long for this wine! This is a wine to enjoy with pizza, rich chicken dishes, or barbequed burgers.

Alcohol 15.2%, Production 117 cases, Retail $ 20.00/bottle, Club $ 17.00/bottle

2005 SUNRISE BLEND

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Emphasizing Merlot and neutral oak barrels helped create this lush, fruit forward easy sipping wine. Beginning with a slight butterscotch bouquet, this wine shows berry/cherry characteristics of the merlot fruit with light tannins and a hint of oak. Though the wine will benefit from several years of cellaring, it was crafted to enjoy while young. This is a wine to enjoy on it’s own for summer sipping, light appetizers, cheeses, pizza, or barbequed burgers.

Alcohol 14.4%, Production 208 cases, Retail $ 20.00/bottle, Club $ 17.00/bottle

2005 RED

The weather during 2005 harvest was intense and varied, but for Red Sky this was a year of blends. In creating our “RED,” we arrived at a blend which is soft and elegant, yet bursting with flavor even in its youth. Your senses will delight in its almost buttery red, velvet (touch on the) tongue, with soft tannins and the type of richness encourages waiting 5 + years to allow the complexity to fully mature. This is a wine that pairs well with tri-tip or other hearty meat dishes, complex yet not heavily spiced vegetables, yet is elegant enough to enjoy on its own.

Alcohol 13.8%, Production 190 cases 750 ml, 15 cases 375 ml, and 15 cases magnums, Retail $ 30.00/bottle, Club $ 25.50/bottle

2003 BORDEAUX BLEND

A harmony of Cabernet Sauvignon 57%, Merlot 36%, and Cabernet Franc 7% from some of Washington’s best vineyards including Conner Lee, Pepper Bridge, Chelle den Pleasant, and Seven Hills. Deep colored medium bodied, this wine has the supple aroma of raspberries and cedar. This perfectly balanced wine is soft and elegant like a Margaux and ready to drink now, but will gain complexity over the next 5 to10 years. Beautifully paired with velvety brie or braised lamb.

Alcohol 15.2%, Production 340 cases, Retail $ 18.00/split, $ 30.00/bottle / Club $ 15.30/split $ 25.50/bottle

2004 SERENDIPITY

This reserve Bordeaux Style Blend begins with our best Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc aged in new oak barrels which will provide structure for 10+ years of bottle aging. You begin with hints of leather, followed by subtle tannins, complex flavors on the palate, finishing with a touch of licorice and berries. This smooth, medium-bodied, layered wine will pair easily with complex but not spicy meat and poultry dishes, yet is elegant enough to enjoy on its own. SILVER METAL, 2008 National Women's Wine Competition. Alcohol 15.2%, Production 251 cases, Retail $ 40.00/bottle, Club $ 34.00/bottle
