Winemaker’s Select
2013 Cabernet Franc
The color is dark and inky with a slight garnet color around the edges. In the aroma and on the palate you will find an abundance of ripe fruit flavors such as blackberry, plum, boysenberry, and blueberry pie. Beneath the layers of fruit some nice oak tones give the wine more depth and complexity while mixing with an earthy component that should make this wine age very well. This wine is rich and bold, yet retains balance and complexity.

2013 Malbec
The color is inky purple and the aroma is brimming with dark ripe fruits. You will find elements of dark chocolate, cherries, violet, blueberry, plum, a little dried herb, cola and spice. All those wonderful fruit aromas mingle with a nice oak undertone adding a pleasant earthiness to the wine. The flavors explode on your palate, big lush cherry and mocha up front and nice tannins on the finish. The wine has great structure and enough acid to really clean your palate. This is a deep full bodied multi-faceted wine with a lingering finish.

2014 Tribute Red
This wine was created to commemorate the life of our founder, John Walker. John was a true visionary and he created Kestrel Vintners to craft wines of both superior quality and value. John saw the potential of the Washington wine industry during its infancy and started Kestrel Vintners in order to take part in the growth of the industry. This complex blend is a tribute to John Walker’s role in the Washington State wine industry. It is a nontraditional red blend created to showcase the smoothness and complexity of our wines.
Your glass is filled with an enticing deep ruby color. Aromas of bright red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry jump from the glass. All those wonderful fruit aromas mingle with a nice oak undertone adding a pleasant earthiness to the wine. Elements of dark chocolate, vanilla and fresh earth fill your mouth with each sip. The flavors of fig and mocha present a slight tannin on the finish. The wine has great structure with an elegant balance of oak and acidity.
