The
Home & Garden Issue
EDITOR’S LETTER
Home,
now more than ever N
ot since I turned 16 and got my driver’s license have I been so willing to make the drive to the grocery store to do a little shopping. Anything to get out of the house, even if it means wearing a mask and gloves. Because of the pandemic, most of us are spending more time at home than we ever have. I’d like to say my lawn and garden area reflect the added home time, but as I write this I have a small army of dandelions I must do something about. Still, there have been some weekend project victories in this time of coronavirus. They include my family of four clearing a pair of our storage rooms and then putting back the things we wanted to keep. The result: we can actually open the door all the way, plus our seasonal decorations are better organized. Marie Kondo would be proud. Every home has its own story, as does each garden. You’ll find some of them in this issue, including a couple of stories out of Okanogan County courtesy of Methow Valley News. My thanks to Don Nelson, Methow Valley News publisher/editor, for allowing Foothills to repurpose the stories from his publication’s 2020 Methow Home publication. Rachel Hansen, whose journalistic skills are probably best compared to a Swiss Army knife — she can do literally anything and everything, also has a story in this issue about making seed bombs with her two young daughters. The joy on the faces of the Hansen sisters is proof of how fun it can be involving your kids in the garden. It’s the kind of joy that can translate into a lifetime passion for gardening. Dee Riggs also writes about a couple who owned a nursery while living in Western Washington and had to rethink some of their basic gardening principles after moving to East Wenatchee. It’s an enlightening read. One thing you won’t find in this issue is a wine story by Rick Steigmeyer. It’s the first Foothills without a Steigmeyer story. He wrote a wine piece, but the photo end didn’t gel on our production cycle due to complications caused by the stay-home mandate from the state. If all goes well, you’ll read Rick’s story in the next issue. Hopefully life will resemble something closer to normal before the next Foothills publishes. Until then, stay safe.

STORY BY JAANA HATTON
Coyote Dunes is a Loop Trail treasure
8
Foothills
May / June 2020
N
estled between the Columbia River and the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail, the Coyote Dunes Natural Area is an easy outing away from city streets. It is much more than a swimming beach for the summer months. The area is just south of the Odabashian Bridge on the East Wenatchee side of the Loop Trail. You can access the dunes and cliffs two different ways: 1) From the north side of the bridge, walk south under the highway along the Loop Trail to enter the sandy trails.
2) Park at 32nd Street and cross the Loop Trail for direct access to the routes meandering along the river. The Coyote Dunes are open all year round for hiking, mountain biking and just enjoying. No overnight camping is allowed. The Department of Natural Resources manages the 26-acre area. If you start from the Odabashian Bridge side, the sandy terrain offers soft footing and twisting trails throughout the riparian growth. Look for flickers, sparrows, goldfinches and many other birds in the trees and bushes.

May / June 2020
On the water, you are likely to see Canada geese or even the elusive blue heron, which will take flight at the first sight of a human. Not only are there winged creatures, but mammals as well. As you walk farther south from the bridge, you will find proof of beavers along the water’s edge where sharply gnawed trees indicate their presence. You may even see one swimming along the shoreline if you watch quietly. Continuing southward, you will pass across the swimming beach and see the cliffs to your left. Marmots like to dwell there and will let out a warning whistle upon spotting a human. They may remain motionless on the cliffs — look closely as they blend into the landscape perfectly. The high cliffs offer wonderful views of Wenatchee and the foothills.

Shadows play across a sandy hill near Bimbo Beach.
If you happen to be on the dunes in the evening, you can choose a nice spot on the sun-warmed rocks and watch the twilight purples and oranges settle onto the hills and the river. The snags by the river offer good hunting perches for hawks, eagles and other predatory birds, as well as homes for northern flickers. Make sure to take your camera or binoculars because you never know what might come along. The dunes are so close to the Loop Trail, you are within sight of it most times. Walking on the unpaved ground and with birds and animals appearing unexpectedly, you will feel closer to nature than the city. F

Ainsley holds up a truffle-sized seed bomb.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY RACHEL HANSEN

Foothills
May / June 2020
Y
ears ago, I was the kind of gardener who planted seeds with a ruler. Every mite-sized carrot seed placed in a straight row 2 inches apart. I knelt on the bare dirt, quiet, meditative, methodical in my task. I had this idea that my future chil-
dren might find sanctuary here in the garden, as I did in my grandmother’s and my mother’s gardens. They’d mischievously steal away to nibble on beans, peas and nasturtiums. They might even eat their dinners, assured that they grew it themselves.
Ainsley measures clay as part of making seed bombs for the Hansen family garden.

Part of the joy of making seed bombs is playing with the gooey mixture. 16
Foothills
May / June 2020
The Hansen sisters squish clay, water and soil together to make the mixture for their seed bombs.
Last year, my two inquisitive girls, ages 3 and 5, tore into the garden, recklessly stomping on soft earth and plant starts. “Can I help?!” they both squealed. I smiled, tight-jawed. My 3-year-old insisted she hold the packet of lettuce seeds. She rattled it like a salt shaker — “What’s in there?!” — seeds scattered everywhere. I tried to scrape the seeds into a loose row, while the toddler licked dirt off her hands. Meanwhile, my 5-year-old struggled to dig a row for peas. She tossed a small rock behind her and whined, “Mom, this is hard!” But then, treasure! She found a worm and chased her sister with it. She tripped over my shoebox of seeds on the way out of the garden. Tiny basil seeds, big round peas, flat pepper seeds went flying. Later that summer, lettuce grew wild, untethered from the confines of rows. Salad abound! They wouldn’t eat it, but they ravaged the peas like deer, ripping vines off the trellis, then hiding the
shells so I would never know. This year, I discovered seed bombs. Seed bombs are 1-inch round balls packed with seeds, clay and dirt — easily handled by kid hands, and easily planted without digging. Place them on the dirt, then water and wait. Making seed bombs is a messy production, best done outside. We measured the clay and soil, then poured in the water. The girls relished the squish of mixing, until the mixture turned cake-y and globbed onto their tiny fingers. They washed their hands while I fiddled with the dirt-to-clay ratio. The goal was to achieve a Play-Dohlike consistency. By the time I achieved a pliable, rollable dough, the girls were long gone. I mixed in a packet of carrot seeds, while the girls joyfully chased each other around the yard. I rolled seed bombs for a half hour and enjoyed watching them play. Quiet, meditative, methodical. There is hope yet for a peaceful planting season. May / June 2020

HOME & GARDEN
STORY BY KIRSTEN COOK OKANOGAN CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Build a home which fights fire Firewise practices reduce your risks 20
Foothills
May / June 2020
T
he Alaska Division of Forestry poses a great question to residents at risk from wildfire: how fast can your house run? Well, unless your architect is Baba Yaga (whose house is on chicken legs), you are probably out of luck. If your house can’t run, then what you need it to do is fight. Research shows that most homes destroyed in wildfires are ignited by embers, in some case from fires as far as a mile or two away. Direct flame contact and radiant heat can also lead to home ignitions. A home that fights fire minimizes the risks to a home
from all three of these potential ignition sources. New construction is the most affordable place to implement wildfire resistance. To build a home that fights fire, focus on four things: design, materials, landscaping and maintenance.
Design
Take a critical look at the building site: what kind of fire behavior can you expect at your location? Slope and wind direction are your primary concerns. The steeper the slope, the more intense the fire behavior, especially when driven by wind.
Okanogan Conservation District photo
This home exemplifies fire-resistant construction with its metal roof, metal and fiber cement siding, concrete perimeter and metal posts. The previous home was destroyed in the 2015 Okanogan Complex Fire; the horizontal beam was salvaged from a fire-killed tree on the property. The beam is set flush with the porch roof to prevent embers from landing on top. May / June 2020
Foothills

Okanogan Conservation District photo
This wood-sided home is at very high risk from embers, direct flame contact and radiant heat ignition pathways. Note the 6-inch concrete sill at the base of the wall; if the juniper were removed and a 5-foot wide apron of gravel or other nonflammable surface was added, this would create a fuel-free space at the base of the wall where embers tend to collect.
Okanogan Conservation District photo
No fuel = no fire. This home’s gravel perimeter and nonflammable siding provide no opportunity for embers to take hold and grow into a structure fire. If you can’t avoid building on a hillside, plan excavation so that the home is set back at least 30 feet from the edge of the slope. For the structure itself, keep Henry David Thoreau in mind: “simplify, simplify, simplify.” Complicated roof lines, lots of corners and open eaves all add risk because they create more places where embers can collect and cause 22
Foothills
May / June 2020
problems. Attachments like decks, balconies and fences should also be designed to reduce risk, not increase it. For example, do not build decks or other attachments that overhang slopes because fire moves quickly uphill.
Materials
The best way to build a home that
fights fire is to build with materials that don’t catch fire! Metal roofs, nonflammable siding, and ember-resistant vents (or no vents at all) give you the biggest bang for the buck. And speaking of bucks, Headwaters Economics (an independent, non-partisan research organization) published a report in 2018 confirming that ignition-resistant construction costs the same or less than traditional construction when building a new home. Material options have expanded dramatically in the past few years: a quick internet search turned up 15 different choices of fiber cement siding styles. As wildfire damage claims increase and insurance companies react, a wildfire-resistant home may be the key to keeping home insurance affordable (or keeping it at all).
Landscaping
Plan the landscaping to complement your fire-resistant home, not work against it. Start by keeping the space from the foundation to 5 feet out free of plants and any other flammable materials, especially wood chip mulch. Concrete slab, pavers, gravel and stone are all good choices for a fire-free perimeter. Use heavy-duty weed fabric to minimize maintenance if you choose gravel/stone. Beyond the 5-foot zone, keep plants well-spaced (so if one ignites it doesn’t spread fire to others) and choose species that are fire-resistant. Most of the deciduous native plants in our area are considered fire-resistant, so your landscape can be both fire-ready and wildlife-friendly. Keep branches of large conifers like ponderosa pine and Douglas fir pruned 10 to 14 feet above the ground and create 10- to 20-foot gaps between tree canopies. Large trees close to the home can increase risk, so think carefully about where and how many trees you keep on the building site, especially if those trees are going to shed needles and cones on your home and yard constantly.
Maintenance
An additional benefit of fire-resistant construction and landscaping is that it tends to reduce maintenance needs. If your home and landscape are easier to maintain, it will take you less time and energy to keep the ignition potential low during fire season. F

hen Joe Peltier and Heather Oesting moved to East Wenatchee in 2016, they brought with them a whole lot of knowledge about gardening. The couple had, for eight years, owned a nursery business in Issaquah. Problem was, their knowledge was all about Seattle-area plants, Seattle-area soil and Seattlearea weather. “One thing that surprised us was echinacea,” Joe says. “It did not do well here, and we tried six or eight varieties.” “We don’t have much shade so we’ve had to stick with plants that love the sun, which is different right there.” May / June 2020

And, he says, the perennials had to be hardier to survive Eastern Washington winters. That meant no hellebores, fuchsias or ferns, which are staples in Western Washington gardens. Joe and Heather also tackled their very sandy East Wenatchee soil. “The first thing we did was bring in 10 yards of compost mulch to enrich the soil,” Joe says. “We added that in order to give it more texture, something to hold onto the moisture better.” Now, they say, they are thrilled with how well the soil drains, compared with the clay soil of Issaquah. “I love the soil here,” Heather says. “It is so much easier to dig. And when you pull a weed out, it comes out and stays gone. Weeding is so much easier.” The couple, who married in 2001, moved here to take advantage of less expensive living and because of the sunny weather. Both are retired.

care economics. They bought their home in a subdivision off Eastmont Avenue for the view, but knew they were in for a lot of work with the western, sunny side of the house. It was all in grass, with a section of an old vegetable garden and diseased lilacs. Still, the couple saw big potential, but it meant more than reviving the lawn — they wanted the lawn to become paths between sections of garden. They hired a professional architect to revamp and enlarge their deck and to design the pathways of lawn and some sections of landscaping. First, they planted three Stewartia trees along with an Autumn Moon Maple and Cherokee Brave Dogwood. Then they ordered a half truckload of plants from an Eastern Washington nursery. “We went for that instant garden,” Joe says. While things grew, the couple were rewarded early by blooms from the 100 to 150 iris they had planted the

over in Issaquah to get them to turn red, but here, the tomatoes are just amazing,” he says. He planted nine of them that first
year, thinking he would lose some, but they all did well. The only place with shade at the couple’s home is under a tree on the
steep east side of the house, where hostas grow. “They hold the soil really nicely,” Heather says. May / June 2020

The couple say another big challenge their first year in the garden was tearing out the black plastic and decorative rock that previous owners had laid down. The couple say they cherish their shared love of gardening. Heather, a tuba player, says, “Gardening makes me feel the same way as when I’m making music.” Joe adds, “When I’m done in the garden and I can see I’ve accomplished something, it gives me a sense of satisfaction.” Joe joined the local Master Gardeners in 2018 to learn more about gardening in this climate. As for the future, Heather says there is no grand plan other than “all the beds will get bigger and the grass will get smaller.” “We plan to cram as much color as we can into the garden,” says Joe. F

or many years, Sean and Margot Flack spent long weekends in the Methow Valley where their kids learned to ski. When the time was right, they bought a parcel of land near Mazama and built the Courtyard House. After many years of admiring other courtyard homes, and the homes of friends that were inspired by surrounding landscapes, the Flacks had collected ideas of what their Courtyard House should include. They met with local designers/builders Molly and Jeff Patterson of The Patterson Company to discuss a courtyard design with open communal spaces and efficient bedrooms. May / June 2020

Sean and Margot Flack built their dream home — the Courtyard House — on a parcel of land they bought near Mazama.
The three-bedroom, two-bath Courtyard House is oriented to look out onto a small creek and the ski trail. The home is designed around a central courtyard, with eight separate entryways that can be opened in pleasant weather. The three bedrooms, living area and a multi-purpose room open up to the courtyard and the sound of the creek. “The courtyard design pulled everything inward for both their privacy and that of their neighbors,” 38

designer Molly Patterson said. The combined kitchen and living area is a comfortable size with floorto-ceiling windows to the courtyard overlooking the ski trail, and a twosided fireplace that can be enjoyed from both inside the living area and outside in the courtyard. The window views and doublesided fireplace create a feeling of transparency between inside and outside. Unobtrusive lighting fixtures add to the ambiance of a spacious,
naturally lit common room. Patterson said the exterior step lights are perfect for dark skies and are motion-detected. The kitchen island and bathroom vanities also have motion-detected lights. Well-designed cabinetry blends into the surroundings, making the combined kitchen and living area feel less utilitarian, and more like a gathering space. The steel work and beams were done by Mark and Leone Edson of Methow Valley Industrial.
The floor-to-ceiling fireplace features masonry composed of gray stonework done by Graham Murray of Winthrop-based Northern Stone Craft.
The electrical work was completed by Jason Miller of Tamarack Electric.
Blending in
The Flacks knew what they wanted on the exterior of the home. “We wanted the exterior to be environmentally friendly and blend in with surroundings,” Sean said. Margot continued, “We wanted an earthy look, and recommended the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban.” This process preserves the wood by

heavily charring it, making the wood fire-retardant and resistant to rot, insects and decay. The exterior of the Courtyard House is lightly torched fir siding and board form concrete wall. Two main entries are custommade to blend into the cedar entrance areas. Patterson and her dad, Jerry Hickey, carefully selected vertical boards that lined up seamlessly to the exterior of the home, and Hickey built the custom doors. Inside, the pattern continues as the multi-hued boards are perfectly matched along the walls and extended onto the ceiling. This effect makes a small entryway look and feel spacious. One entryway serves as a mudroom, with benches lining one wall for ease in removing boots and shoes, and cabinets and drawers to hold coats, hats, boots and more. The second entryway is the laundry room, perfect for peeling off soiled layers and tossing directly into the washing machine. Both points of entry lead into the communal area that is anchored on one side by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The masonry is composed of gray stonework turned so that the smooth side of the stone is displayed, and no mortar shows. Graham Murray of Northern Stone Craft did the fireplace stonework. He purchased thin stone and cut each piece individually so the face of the fireplace is flush. The large greenstone kitchen island is the centerpiece to the room, with an overhang on three sides for friends and family to sit around. The refrigerators delightfully blend into the cabinetry, with one small upright unit near a coffee counter, and two drawers under the center island. The dishwasher and the microwave are also artfully hidden behind seamless cabinet drawers. Jerry Cole did all the cabinetwork.
Beds and bunks
Two hallways extend from the common room, along either side of the courtyard. Each hallway contains two rooms, separated by a bathroom. One of the bedroom areas was left open, and serves as a multi-purpose room, with a piano in one corner, exercise mats and a puppy kennel.

The light-filled bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that open into the courtyard. The children’s room has one long bunk bed hanging from the ceiling that extends the length of one wall. Ladders on each side of the room lead to separate sleeping quarters — a bunk bed that sleeps two, but only takes up the width of one bunk. The arrangement is an efficient use of a small space. Barry Stromberger of Slagworks created the hanging steel bunk beds. The Courtyard House surrounds a garden filled with native grasses, berry bushes and aspens. Windy Valley Landscaping designed the garden areas around the home. A sitting area next to the double-sided fireplace completes the courtyard. “This house felt like home right away,” Margot said. “We’ve been coming to the valley for 15 years. I wanted it [the house] to be a place where my kids could feel at home and bring their friends.” F

HOME & GARDEN STORY BY ASHLEY LODATO A METHOW VALLEY NEWS STORY
C
liff and Debbie Portman loved the small vacation home they bought in Winthrop North Village in 2014. The “Bench House,” located on one of the neighborhood’s shrub-steppe benches, was within walking distance of town, had high ceilings and plenty of natural light, and was a convenient launching pad for the Portmans’ many outdoor adventures. The only problem was, as the Portmans began to divide their time equally between Seattle and the Methow Valley, they felt like they were outgrowing the Bench House. “We were ready for a bit more elbow room,” says Debbie. “And a garage for our gear,” adds Cliff. The Portmans began looking at houses on the market, but couldn’t quite find one that met their needs as effectively as the Bench House. So they took a leap and settled on what has turned out to be the perfect solution: buying another lot in Winthrop North Village and building an expanded version of the Bench House on it.

“Our Realtor, Delene Monetta, helped us figure out that we’d get our needs met best by building,” the Portmans say, “despite the fact that even the thought of building was so daunting.” Their architect, Howard Cherrington of Integrated Design Concepts, points to the Portmans’ clear ideas of what they wanted in a house as the primary factor in the ease of the design process. “They already had a house they liked,” Cherrington says, “but it was just too small.” Cherrington took the basic concept of the Bench House — a small vaulted living space with surrounding rooms flat — and “basically just blew it up,” resulting in what the contractor, Bart Schuler of Schuler Build Company, calls a “timeless” gable design.
Matter of scale
Situating houses on specific plots of land is Cherrington’s specialty and his passion. “A house has to fit the

terrain,” he says. The Portmans’ new Winthrop North Village lot had a “commanding view to the north,” says Cherrington, “so we oriented the great room toward that dynamic northern view, and gave the guest bedroom the southern view and solar gain.” With the house oriented on the lot, Cherrington turned his attention toward the primary functions of the home according to the Portmans’ priority list: a comfortable vacation home conducive to relaxing in after outdoor pursuits, suitable for occasional dinner parties and easy to close up for the two weeks every month that the Portmans spend in Seattle. Features like the wood-lined vaulted ceiling and ample glass in the living room and dining area create an expansive ambiance in a modest-sized house, while the lower ceiling in the kitchen gives that space a cozy vibe. Like the main living space, the hallway that leads into it from the entry mudroom receives natural light throughout

An open design and floor-to-ceiling windows allow for great views throughout the home. the day, an effect achieved in part by the width of the hallway. Cherrington opened the house with a line of sight straight from the mudroom, through the hallway, to the tall windows framing the living space. “When you come in the front door you look straight to the north view,” he says. “It’s very feng shui. You’re carried through the house to the view.” Instead of a traditional 4-foot hall, Cherrington widened it to 5 feet. “That makes it a legitimate space of its own,” Cherrington says. “You can put bookcases in it, or small tables.”

Now I simply want to help others build theirs.” The Portmans share Cherrington’s affinity for a house in harmony with the land, built of “elements that speak to Methow living” – wood, glass, stone. Additionally, both parties prioritized working with local suppliers for building materials and items like flooring, windows, doors and cabinets. “We’ve never been big about purchasing online,” says Debbie, “and it also just felt right to work within this community.” Firewise was another point of agreement. “It’s something I talk to every client about,” says Cherrington, “especially after my own experience of ‘being in the black’ after the Twisp River Fire in 2015” (which means that the fire burned virtually everything around his home except for the house). “The year 2014 [after the Carlton Complex fire] was a sea change for designers and builders,” Cherrington continues. “We all had to get familiar with cement siding, with Firewise vents in a vented roof or foundation. Now all the designers, builders and clients are conscious about it.”

Winthrop North Village is outfitted with fire hydrants and isn’t forested with layers of fuels on the ground; still, the Portmans have surrounded their house by gravel with concrete patios on two sides, with no plantings close to the house. It’s Firewise, and it’s also low-maintenance, so the Portmans don’t have to worry about watering when they’re in Seattle, and they don’t have to spend time doing yardwork when they’re in the valley.
Watching the process
The Portmans took great delight in watching the house go up. On their daily walks from the Bench House to the new house, they noticed daily progress, and are complimentary of contractor Bart Schuler and his crew. “He’s such a pro,” the Portmans say of Schuler. “It felt like he was working toward our goals the whole time. He was very attentive to our budget, as well as to our priorities.”
Building keeps Schuler engaged because “it is a complicated process with simple parts,” he says. It’s also immensely gratifying to present homeowners with a dwelling that suits them. “It is very satisfying for the whole team to have happy owners at the end of the process,” Schuler says. And according to the Portmans, they could not be happier with their spot on a hill overlooking the valley they love. With the building process behind
them as just a happy memory, the Portmans are now intent on enjoying their new home, entertaining friends, curled up in the cozy study reading, or putting away their gear from another day in the hills. The house accommodates all these uses — and more — just as they had hoped. “We’re just tickled pink,” says Debbie. “This house is not only the house we envisioned and wanted, but it’s also light years beyond what we expected.” F May / June 2020

A TASTE OF NCW WINES WITH BARB ROBERTSON
Karma Vineyards Methode Champenoise Brut 2014, $49.99
Cave B Estate Winery 2018 Chenin Blanc, $22
Cairdeas Winery 2016 Caislean an Papa Red Blend, $45
Sparkling wine is often associated with special occasions. While it is a wonderful way to celebrate important events, it is also a perfect way to start or end any day. I think many of us have reflected on our lives lately and have become more thankful for the simple things such as health, family and friends. That’s cause for a celebration every day. What makes Karma Sparklers special is the way they produce the bubbles. They use the traditional method of Champagne. This means they take a bottle of still wine, add a mixture of sugar and yeast, cap it and then let it sit. The 2014 Brut sat in bottle for four years, allowing complexity to build as the yeast fed on the sugar and carbon dioxide was trapped in the bottle, creating bubbles. At the end of the process, the cap is removed and replaced with the traditional cork and wire cage to keep the cork in place. This wine has aromas of freshly baked bread spread with butter and apple jelly. The mouthfeel is full, and the bubbles carry the orchard fruits to the far reaches of your mouth. Bread pudding with caramel sauce echoes on the long finish. Pair Karma’s Brut with shellfish, a cheese platter, a cream-sauced protein or nothing. Cheers to life!
I love spring and this Chenin Blanc. The end. I guess I should expand on why I love this Chenin Blanc. Chenin Blanc is a terrific grape that California ruined for a long time by making boring sweet box wine with it. France and South Africa have always made beautiful Chenin Blancs, and now Washington is producing them as well. The grapes for Cave B’s Chenin Blanc come from the Ancient Lakes AVA, which is known to yield stunning white varietals. Winemaker Freddy Arredondo made sure to let the natural goodness of these grapes shine, and boy do they!! The aromatics are phenomenal. Although they aren’t the same smells, it is like that first day in spring after the long winter when your nose picks up the new-life aromas. It just makes you happy. This wine has spring new grass notes, but there is also a whole lot of tropical going on. The sip is smoothly elegant and then opens up to reveal peach, passionfruit, lilac and honeycomb. The finish is crisp and surprisingly clean for the explosion of flavors. Asian food, especially Thai, would be a fantastic pairing. Scallops are a more traditional match up. If you like virtual wine tastings, Freddy is hosting them on Friday nights. Check out the caveb.com website. Cheers to sunshine!
This is Cairdeas’ take on a French Chateauneuf du Pape blend. Grenache leads the way with 37%, followed by 26% Mourvedre, 16% Syrah, 11% Counoise and 10% Cinsault. All the grapes come from the critically acclaimed Boushey Vineyard in Grandview. With Dick Boushey growing these grapes and Charlie Lybecker guiding them along in the journey to wine, it’s no wonder this is such a gorgeous beverage. The first whiffs bring to mind a hike I was on last year when I was caught in a quick downpour. Luckily it didn’t last long. There were a lot of boulders along the trail and the rain brought out all of the mineral smells around me. The fruit smells lifting from the glass alongside the mineral notes include cherry and small, wild strawberries. Neutral barrels were used to lend texture but not to interfere with the fruit flavors themselves. The result is a velvety mouthfeel full of cherry, red berries, rosemary and potpourri. A roast of your favorite red meat would be a great pairing. Cheers to beauty!
