CHARDONNAYThe 2017 Disruption Chardonnay is crafted from carefully selected grapes from two of Washington's finest vineyard sources: the Evergreen and Sundance Vineyards. These sites represent a dichotomy in climates, producing grapes with two very different flavor profiles. The cooler Evergreen Vineyard’s fruit is aromatic with bright flavors and a solid acid structure. The Sundance Vineyard has a warmer climate which leads to ripe, fruit forward, tropical flavors. Together, the finished blend offers excellent balance and freshness. On the nose, aromas of tropical fruit and toasty vanilla. Flavors of apple blossom and juicy pineapple dance on the palate in this rich, layered wine. A kiss of new French oak adds notes of baking spice and cardamom.

RED WINEOur 2016 Red Wine blend is a softly layered and balanced wine, showcasing the strength of Bordeaux and Rhone varieties out of Washington’s Columbia Valley. Our fruit for this Red Blend is sourced from the Wahluke Slope and the Art Den Hoed Vineyard in Yakima, which are in the warmest parts of the Columbia Valley. The Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) is the backbone of this blend, it provides excellent structure that comes from older vines, the Syrah (15%) provides color and spice, while the Merlot (15%) brings lots of berry fruits and flesh, which rounds out a complex and layered soft wine. The wine is aged in 15% new French oak barrels with the balance aged in neutral, French casks. We at Disruption feel that Washington wine regions offer incredible fruit expression, density and softness that cannot be matched by any other wine region in the USA at this price point.

merlotMore intense than our Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Wine, our 2015 Merlot is a shining example of what is possible when top-quality Washington State fruit finds its way into the right hands. The fruit was sourced from three of Eastern Washington’s best red wine grape vineyards. The Clifton Vineyard, located close to the Columbia River is on the warmer side and has sandy soils. The fruit gives deep plum flavors and rich, broad texture. Ravenscliff is a younger site planted directly above Clifton. The soil changes from sandy loam to gravelly loam. The fruit is more complex and savory from this cooler site. The Northridge Vineyard was planted in 1998. Its gravelly ancient soils were unaffected by the Missoula floods. The fruit is intense with exceptional color and freshness. The wine is aged in 25% new French oak barrels to soften the tannins and provide structure. The wine offers aromas of smoke and black plum against a rich vanilla canvas. On the palate, it is velvety and rich with excellent acidity and long lasting finish.

CABERNET SAUVIGNONA Cabernet to impress any discerning drinker, this wine is powerful yet elegant with fine structure and a style all its own. The 2016 Disruption Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of three unique vineyard sources. First, the Wahluke Vineyard provides concentration and density with its 35 year-old vines. The Northridge Vineyard, located a mere 5 miles from Wahluke, has rich soils that bring bright acidity, amazing color, and focus. Finally, the Denhoed Vineyard’s cool climate contributes flavors of bright rhubarb, cedar and currant. The wine sees enough new French oak (20%) to add depth and richness to this focused Cabernet. The palate opens with aromas of dark fruit and cedar. The wine only improves with aeration, which makes the texture velvety and wonderfully integrated. The finish continues on the palate for a good while with distinct flavors of blackberry fruit, pipe tobacco and earth.
