OUR WINES

he 2023 QUOTIDIAN is our first foray into Viogner, one of my favorite white varietals.  It is 100% Viogner from the Royal Slope AVA.  It is produced and aged in stainless steel tank, providing a clean varietal nature with additional complexity.

I remember looking at a wine list at a nice restaurant on the Washington coast and wanting to try something other than Chardonnay.  So, I gave Viogner a try.  It opened a whole new world for me and I remember thinking…”what is this elixir of which I have not heard…Viogner!” (or something like that).  This Viogner has a nose of tangerine, peach, and honeysuckle.  On the palette, it has notes of tangerine, peach, and mango.  It is full, fresh, and bright whether you are a seasoned Viogner pro or a newbee.

A rich and complex white with a full, round mouthfeel as well as a nice acid backbone.  Aromas of tons of pears with honey, Myer lemon, marmalade, green apple, with hints of vanilla and apricot.  Flavors of pears, pears, and more pears, Myer lemon, grilled pineapple, green apple, and marmalade with subtle mineral/slate undertones.

The 2021 RHATHYMIA is a crisp and bright white wine with a nice acid backbone.  Aromas of lemon, brioche, flowers such as honeysuckle and jasmine, and a hint of eucalyptus.  It has flavors of (Myer) lemon, lychee, kiwi, and tart apples.  For me, this wine is like going to downtown Seattle.  I live in the suburbs and I don't go to Seattle all very often.  When I do, I always think "this is awesome, I should do this more often."  Being a red wine guy, I don't drink whites all that often.  When I drink this one, I think "…beautiful, complex, bright, lively, and layered…I ought to drink this more often."

The 2022 RHATHYMIA is a medium straw colored, medium bodied, crisp, and bright white wine with a nice acid backbone.  Aromas and flavors of lemon-lime, pineapple, green apple, and pear with a nice long finish.
