2008 DARKNESS SYRAH RELEASE 

SATURDAY JULY 31 & SUNDAY AUGUST 1

FROM 1-5 PM

AT OUR TASTING ROOM IN WOODINVILLE



 
It's finally ready: the stupendous 2008 Darkness Syrah from Boushey Vineyards' Birdhouse Block. Imagine that Willy Wonka broke into the wine business and scored some killer fruit from Dick Boushey's Birdhouse Block in Grandview. This is crazy concentrated black silk that performs like the Everlasting Gobstopper of wines: a breakfast of blackberry cobbler layered with chocolate leading into a midafternoon snack of rhubarb, raspberry and herbal elegance which then finishes with a proper supper of roasted game, mushroom souffle and strawberry preserves. A tour de force for Willy and his cellar team of Oompa Loompas. The last two vintages scored 94 points from Wine Enthusiast and last year's got a 93 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. This one has all the stuff: color so dark you might name the wine for it, saturated black fruit richness, spice and incredible power.The previous vintages have sold out very quickly, so be sure to come out for the release or let us know what you would like.
 
For Ring of Fire Members Only: Please let us know if you did not receive your golden ticket to the vertical tasting of Darkness Syrah (2005-2008). We hope to see you there!

In water one sees one's own face;
but in wine, one beholds the heart of another.
An Old French proverb

this old porch

Rosé 2009


A saignée from our premier vineyards, this old porch is made of Syrah from Klipsun, Ciel du Cheval and Boushey, Malbec from Klipsun and Cabernet Franc from La Coye. Bone dry, rich and fruity, this pinky gushes strawberry jam and guava. Picture yourself on a boat on a river, with tangerine trees and marmalade skies…
