In the winery’s own words, via the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance member profile:
Since 2007, winemaker and owner Sean Boyd’s goal has been to make traditional Rhône-style blends in Washington State. His winemaking philosophy is simple– combine old world winemaking techniques with the highest quality Rhône varietals that Washington has to offer. Boyd sources from the Rotie Rocks estate, as well as some of the best and oldest vineyards in the state in an effort to showcase the most elegant blend possible, while ensuring the typicity of the fruit is expressed.
