Ripe berry fruit with hints of black cherry, along with minerally and earthy overtones. Quite long in length and depth.

After spending nearly 20 years in New Zealand crafting wines for Spencer Hill Es-tate, including their award winning line of Goose Bay Wines, Winemaker & Manag-ing Director Philip Jones sought to fill yet another void in the kosher wine market-place, the Pacific Northwest. In 2006, together with his wife, Sheryl, Philip purchased 95 acres on Underwood Moun-tain, across from Hood River in Oregon, an area perfect for growing cool climate grapes and close to some of Washington’s best red wine vineyards. “Matt Rutherford (Head Winemaker) and I had made wine in New Zealand for many years and always wanted to make some of the bigger reds...those not really suited to New Zealand like Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. Because of our success in making cool climate white wines it seemed appropriate to include these in a new venture.” said Philip, adding, “We knew that no one in the Northwest produced Kosher wines.”
