The 2010 vintage, though cooler, ultimately delivered some stunning wines including our flagship blend, Une Vallée. This wine was created from our most coveted blocks of fruit in the Walla Walla Valley. One word description....delicious! Full-bodied, artfully balanced acidity with silky smooth tannins and a long pleasing finish. This wine will age nicely and you will be handsomely rewarded for patience!
