2009 Cow Catcher Red
Our latest release of Cow Catcher Red will confirm the quality of this exceptional wine, and encourage new fans. Made from fruit that would normally go into the higher end “Estate” brand, production was shifted this vintage, creating a stand-out red wine. A blend of four Bordeaux varietals with a dash of Syrah, this wine was crafted with free-run juice to produce deep fruit flavors. These flavors include dark cherries, tobacco, green olives, and a hint of blackberries. Dark tea, notes of leather, and subtle tannins round out this full-bodied Walla Walla wine. Great acidity and a silky finish make this a great wine to pair with food, or enjoy on its own. BLEND: 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, 6% Syrah, 5% Petit Verdot
Price: $24.00/bottle.
Only 850 cases produced.
2008 Estate Merlot
This wine serves up raspberries on the nose, tossed with dark fruits and tobacco. Fruit forward, this wine reveals less oak, offering a sense of freshness. A luscious and velvety mouthfeel precedes the lasting finish. BLEND: 75% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon “Extremely appealing aromatics of dusty milk chocolate, earth, a light herbaceousness, and tart red raspberries. A silky, plush palate with lush, tart fruit flavors and silky tannins. Drinking absolutely beautifully right now with years ahead of it.” -Sean Sullivan, Washington Wine Report *92 points & Editor's Choice, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Price: $28.00/bottle.

2008 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Fruit for this wine comes from the Minnick Hills Vineyard, just north of the Walla Walla airport. A healthy dose of volcanic ash dominates the bottom portion of the vineyard soil, which was deposited following the eruption of Mt. Mazama 7700 years ago and is now known as Crater Lake in Central Oregon. Lower summer temperatures in 2008 created good acid levels and very well-balanced wines. Deep aromas fill the glass with notes of dark chocolate and hints of tobacco. Rich flavors of cherries, blackberries and currants swirl through the mouth in a full-bodied texture. For the finish, light hints of spice and smoke meld with velveteen. BLEND: 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot
Price: $32.00/bottle.
Only 200 cases produced.
2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine singularly shows what an exceptional vintage 2007 was in the Walla Walla Valley. Subtle herbal notes on the nose include cinnamon and cardamom. Bright cherries and dark stone fruits exude a luscious mouth feel while the finish rolls on with distinguished tannins. In typical Walla Walla fashion, bold fruit flavors are exquisitely balanced with tannin and acid, with layers that meander through every taste bud. *90 Points in Wine Spectator *Double Gold at Seattle Wine Awards *Platinum in Wine Press Northwest
Price: $32.00/bottle.

2009 Estate Syrah
This is a dense, rich wine. Scents of ripe blackberries and currants mingle with bacon, leather, and a touch of minerality.

2009 Estate Cabernet Franc
This is our first release of Cabernet Franc. It has a long history with our winery as a blending grape, but now has a chance to shine on its own. Scents of caramel, ripe blackberries and black olives show on the nose, followed by bay leaf, black tea, some cinnamon. Flavors go beyond what the deep color suggests, including hints of wet Walla Walla dirt and shoe leather. It has great balance, and true to Cabernet Franc, provides a long lasting finish.

2007 Estate Merlot
Supple and elegant, this Merlot sings with soft cherry and blackberry notes. The silky and refined tannins sail effortlessly around the mouth, waltzing to a flawless finish.

2007 Cow Catcher Red
Another stellar vintage of Dumas Station's affable red table wine; the dark ruby color lets the drinker know that this is a serious wine.

2007 Minnick Hills Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Hints of caramel and smoke allude to new French oak, while layers of berries sail through the mid-palate, and expressive tannins linger through the finish. This wine is exceptionally complex, will vivificate any dinner party, and bring even more pleasure to those that have the patience to cellar it for a few years. *Double Gold at Seattle Wine Awards (highest medal they award)

2006 Minnick Hills Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
The majority of the fruit for this very small lot came from the "sweet spot" at Minnick Hills Vineyard. The most significant feature of this wine is its complexity. It is tightly focused at the outset, and then reveals new layers for several hours after opening. The flavors are concentrated with rich dark fruits and elegant spices. This wine has an assertive structure, and yet a finish that lingers pleasantly for several minutes. The solid structure of this wine will enable it to mature in the cellar for many years. *94 points, The Wine Enthusiast *92 points, The Wine Advocate *Gold medal at 2010 Seattle Wine Awards

Only 95 cases produced.
2006 Estate Merlot
The 2006 vintage benefitted from perfect conditions during the ripening period, which makes this Merlot over the top with dark fruits and soft tannins. The texture is warm and velvety, and the underlying spices subtle to the point of being an afterthought. This wine is being offered as a library selection through Sunday, May 6th, and due to the limited quantity, we are unfortunately only able to share up to 2 bottles per person.

Only 210 cases produced.
2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
The flavor profile of the 2006 Cabernet is similar to the 2003 vintage, the first crop from Minnick Hills Vineyard. It displays tons of dark, jammy fruit, blackberries, currants, and huckleberries. It has the spiciness that is characteristic of the Minnick Hills Bordeaux varietals, a little earthy, with lots of bay leaf and sage. As the vineyard ages, the fruit is displaying greater complexity, and better tannic structure. *93 points, The Wine Advocate *91 Points, Wine Spectator
