| Washington State is one of the few places on Earth that excels at growing the classiest white grape of all: Riesling. This fact has been well known in the State for decades and as a consequence some of the oldest vinifera plantings happen to be Riesling. One of the finest old vine Riesling vineyards is the excellent Upland Vineyard near Sunnyside. Approaching 40 years of age, these vines have become entrenched with their environment and therefore yield some the best expression of Washington State Riesling available. Our 2008 Riesling is made with the utmost respect for the fruit. Our goal is to best convey the vines’ complex story without any obstructions. This means no oak, fining or cold stabilization was used during winemaking. Aromas of citrus, apricot and nectarine are followed by noticeable minerality and a long finish that is perfectly balanced by the excellent acidity. This wine is ready to enjoy on release and may even evolve further in the bottle for a few years. One hundred and twenty five cases produced.

| Oftentimes our enthusiasm for unique vineyards can get us in trouble as we end up with more wine of a particular type or vineyard than we can blend into our regular offerings. In the past we have sold this wine in bulk, but starting with the 2007 vintage we have put all this extra wine into our new Red Wine blend. After all, we have worked just as hard to make this wine and the quality is outstanding. In 2007 our blend consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21 % Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc from an array of top vineyards in the Yakima Valley including Upland and Snipes Canyon Ranch. The wine is brick-red in color with noticeable graphite and exotic spice aromas. On the palate, the wine expresses tart red cranberries and cherries. The finish, characteristic of all Pomum wines, is long and smooth. One hundred and forty cases produced.

| In Spanish speaking countries if you want red wine you order "Tinto". In Spain you will typically be given a red wine made with the classic Tempranillo grape. Our 2007 Tinto was grown from some of the very first plantings of this varietal in Washington. Even though the vines are young and viticulture techniques are still being refined, our first encounter with the varietal shows great promise. The nose of the dark crimson wine exhibits elegant dark fruit and licorice aromas, characteristic of Spanish Tintos. Its medium body follows with plum and blackberry flavors and lush tannins. This wine incorporated 16% Cabernet Sauvignon for structure and 12% Merlot for acid balance.

| With our 2007 Syrah the crop yields swung in favor of Upland Vineyards with more then 75% of the blend. The remainder is from the outstanding Elerding Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. The wine shows the characteristics of Upland Vineyards and the new Snipes Mountain AVA with moist rock, graphite and slate nuances on the nose followed by bright red and black fruit flavors. As always the wine is impeccably structured and exhibits prominent but well rounded tannins with considerable length. Decant if opened in the near term, otherwise enjoy from late 2010 through 2016. Two hundred and fifteen cases produced.

| In 2006 we selected our best lots to produce our signature red blend from the classic varietals traditionally grown in the Bordeaux region in France. The composition is similar to past vintages with 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and 1% Petite Verdot. Vineyard sourcing include notable names such as DuBrul, Elerding, Dineen and Upland. The Yakima Valley character shines through with bright and racy cherry, raspberry and cola aromas wrapped in an intensively perfumed nose of exotic spices and aromatic herbs. The full body mouth feel shows great acidity, tremendous structure and an endless source of fruit; all traits that will ensure enjoyment for years to come. Aerate aggressively if consumed young. Otherwise best from 2011 on…. Three hundred and ten cases produced.
