Rosé & Red Wines


 Chinook Wines Cabernet Franc Rose

2012 Cabernet Franc Rosé -- WILL BE READY JUNE, 2013!
Fresh, lively & smelling like ripe strawberries, Chinook’s classic dry rosé is a Washington summer favorite. We make our rosé each year from one of our personal favorite varieties: Cabernet Franc. It's best served chilled, with salty snacks, summer salads or by itself in the garden with friends.

Chinook Wines Cabernet Franc

2010 Yakima Valley Cabernet Franc
For over 15 years, Chinook has produced a Cabernet Franc from our estate vineyard and selected growers' fruit in the Yakima Valley. The 2010 Cabernet Franc is 100% varietal and from 100% Yakima Valley AVA grapes. Our hands-on, minimal processing produces a Franc which is soft, drinkable and low in tannins. To emphasize the Cabernet Franc characteristics (cherries, raspberries, licorice, violets) we choose to age this wine in neutral oak barrels. In the 2009 season, grapes were grown at Chinook's Estate Vineyard, Boushey Vineyards, Carter Farm and Desert Hills Vineyards.
$22.99 per 750ml bottle
 

 
Chinook Wines Merlot

2009 Yakima Valley Merlot

Chinook Wines has been producing Merlot since 1984, & the vintages just get better with age!  Vanilla, plum or cherry are some of the interesting mix of aromas and flavors you might find in this wine. Natural food affinities are lamb or herb-crusted salmon on the grill. 

$23.99 per 750ml bottle

 
Chinook Wines Cabernet Sauvignon

2008 Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon -- SOLD OUT!
This very limited production of Cabernet Sauvignon from the historic Yakima Valley fully exhibits the subtlety and complexity that are characteristics of Washington's 2008 vintage. With brilliant dried cranberry color and aromas of blackberry and oaky molasses, this wine is approachable and balanced. Rigorous selection of grapes, gently handling of both the fruit and the wine, 28 months of aging in French oak barrels, and 3% Merlot create a complex range of aroma and flavor. Enjoy it right away or years in the future.

Chinook Wines Yakima Valley Red Wine

Yakima Valley Red Wine (Blend XVII) -- 
This easy-sipping wine is a blend of select vintages of  Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The latest Yakima Red has a rich garnet color with ripe, purple-fruit aromas (plum and cherry). These aromas are reflected in similar ripe flavors in the mouth. We suggest you open a bottle & enjoy it with an artisan pizza.
