Vineyard workers are essential to the Washington state wine industry and their contributions often go unsung. Crafted with donated grapes from Stillwater Creek Vineyard, proceeds from the sale of this red blend that is 92% Merlot with 8% Cabernet Sauvignon benefit Columbia Valley vineyard workers through a donation to the Columbia Basin Health Association Othello Clinic.

2022 Orr ‘Royal Slope Red’ Red Wine- This 2022 ‘Royal Slope Red’ has 8% Cabernet Sauvignon blended in. Also stored in all neutral oak before bottling this opens with anise and black currants alongside tar and tobacco leaf. The palate is very elegant and refined with good structure and underlying finesse. A beautiful wine to savor now, enjoy over the next eight years to come. Drink 2024-2032- 92 points Owen Bargreen
