Arachne 2021 -91 points, Critic’s Choice
"This is a blend of Nebbiolo (86%), Zinfandel (7%), and Primitivo. Pale in color, the aromas offer subdued notes of red fruit, herb, and pencil eraser. The palate has the plush fruit flavors of Zin/Prim and the lively acidity and firm tannins associated with Nebbiolo. It’s a fascinating and hedonistically appealing combination. Pair it with lamb chops with a cherry glaze. 14.0% alcohol. TCA-free micro-agglomerated cork. 139 cases produced." NW Wine Report, Sean P. Sullivan
2021 Arachne - Silver, Sunset International Wine Competition
Arachne 2020- The 100% Nebbiolo ‘Arachne’ hails from the Red Mountain AVA. Soot and scorched earth notes combine with bright red fruits, and suggestions of garrigue on the nose. The palate is soft and refined with a smooth texture and great underlying freshness. Rich red fruit flavors parade with copious minerals and mouth-watering acidity on the palate. Totally novel and delicious, this is one of the most eye-catching red wines I have tasted from Washington this year. What a beauty! Drink 2023-2030- 93 points Owen Bargreen
2018 Arachne - A wine that you won’t see done in Washington State, this blend is equal parts Nebbiolo and Zinfandel. The texture entices as ripe red cherry and tobacco leaf flavors mingle with damp stone and red cherry tomato. This is delicious now, with a good acidity that makes me believe it has another seven years left. Drink 2021-2028- 91 points Owen Bargreen
