54% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, 6% Cinsault

"A clean mouthful of fruit with a crisp bright finish," the words of Kris Chau, a magical artist, tattoo poker and conjurer of this label sum it up pretty well. This direct-to-press intentional rosé is primarily from Oldfield Vineyard in Yakima, with Ravenscliff and Northridge Vineyards in Wahluke Slope supporting. The wine is pale provencal style rosé with perfect crispness. Notes of wild strawberry, watermelon rind and fresh blossom abound.

We're inspired by taking the name KIND STRANGER quite literally and turning toward others around us. We've seen our national landscape shift a bit recently and we feel it's as important as ever to be a real kind stranger in the world.

93% Evergreen Vineyard Chardonnay, 7% Lawrence Vineyard Roussanne

Fermented with indigenous yeasts in neutral barrels then aged sur lie for 16 months. High elevation sites littered with caliche and broken basalt contribute freshness and minerality to the wine. Chardonnay does the heavy lifting, providing structured acidity and citrus notes. The touch of Lawrence Vineyard Roussanne accents with exotic fruit, richness and complexity.
