2006 was our first vintage and two wines were produced.

2006 Walla Walla Valley Syrah
Varietals: 90% Syrah and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
Case production: 97 Cases
Vineyard Sources: Dwelley & Rizzutti Vineyards
Barrels: 100% French Oak—33% new oak

We describe this wine as having strong floral characteristics with slight spice & piney notes. This Syrah expresses elements of citrus blossoms, with floral notes and an undercurrent of earthy tones.

The wine has soft tannins and a nice round pert acid. The 10% cabernet sauvignon rounds out the flavor profile with some nice currant undertones.

Our Syrah will pair nicely with braised meats or smoky cheeses. The well balanced acid will balance out foods like pastas or salmon. The wine also stands well on its own and is a great wine to enjoy without food.

The 2006 Syrah is available for purchase at $25 per bottle and we offer a 10% case discount. To order, email tempuscellars@gmail.com.

2006 Red Wine
Varietals: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc
Case production: 167 Cases
Vineyard Sources: Sagemoor, Rizzutti, Alder Ridge & Dennis Pleasant Vineyards
Barrels: 100% French Oak

Our Bordeaux blend is noted as having great finesse, with a soft structure. It’s a great ready to drink wine with soft tannins and an elegant balance. The acid is firm and bright.

The nose of this wine is quite aromatic – with strong floral, violet notes. On the palette, the wine will provide cranberry and molasses flavors.

The 2006 Red Wine is available for purchase at $28 per bottle and we offer a 10% case discount. To order, email tempuscellars@gmail.com.

For those interested in cellaring our 2006 vintage, we recommend a cellaring these wines for approximately 3 years.

Our 2007 vintage will include a Seven Hills Merlot, Sagemoore Vineyard Cabernet, and a Syrah/Grenache Blend. We anticipate releasing these wines in October 2009.
