Wine 1: L’Ecole Frenchtown Red
Frenchtown, Walla Walla Valley’s first settlement, was founded by French Canadians in the early 1800s. A thriving viticulture and winemaking community was established in the Valley in the 1860s. This Frenchtown wine salutes these pioneers. With the highest quality in mind, this blend offers exceptional value for its price. An excellent Frenchtown vintage showing a bright, fresh fruit-forward profile of dark cherry, blueberry, red plum, anise, and thyme complemented by violet floral notes. This easy drinking wine offers an abundance of lively fruit and spice flavors framed by a medium body and finely textured tannins, leading to a harmoniously balanced, juicy, and enduring finish.

Wine 2: Altamonte Sauvignon Blanc
100% Sauvignon Blanc, grown 450-600 meters above sea level with eastern exposure in the beautiful region of Alto Adige in Northern Italy. Sandy, gravelly soils rich in dolomite Fermentation takes places in temperature controlled stainless steel followed by aging on the fine lees for 6 months that adds a richness to the wine. This very old grape variety was introduced to Alto Adige from France at the end of the nineteenth century. In the meantime, Sauvignon Blanc has become one of the region's leading varieties and is enjoying growing popularity. In western and eastern locations, it develops notes typical for the variety, including gooseberries, passion fruit, elderberries, and black currants. The wines can range from crispy and fresh to voluminous and intense.
