We just do everything the same way our ancestors have for hundreds of years

to avoid extracting bitter tannins

Half of the wine is fermented with whole cluster

The 2017 Bodyguard is a sleek yet powerful blend of Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah

river stone and apricot flavors that glide on a long finish

Alki Merlot, 2018 Rosé We just do everything theBurst of sweet cedar box, vanilla bean, blackberry, hints of cocoa. Palate is lush, velvety, supremely balanced with ample berries rounded by a friendly + lifted oak structure. "Alki (Al Kai), meaning 'hope for the future' is Washington State's motto and the backbone of our approach to winemaking." Alki selects premium fruit from the Wahluke Slope and Ancient Lakes AVAs (two of the 12 sub AVAs of the Columbia Valley AVA). Columbia Valley AVA
