Hello, Winers!
Welcome to April. We're well into 2014 now. It's going nicely, except for the awful parts. And hey, for those awful parts, at least there's wine.
It's good for the awesome parts of 2014, too.
Features
2010 Gilbert Cellars Syrah, Wahluke Slope 750ml 2-Pack
This elegant Syrah is sourced from our family’s Doc Stewart Vineyard, nestled among our apple and cherry orchards. The sandy post-Missoula soils and ideal ripening conditions on this vineyard produce consistently lush and savory award-winning Syrah.
2011 Gilbert Cellars Syrah, Wahluke Slope 750ml 2-Pack
This Syrah sourced from our family’s Doc Stewart Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope exhibits the complexity, elegance, structure, and purity that have come to define the difficult 2011 vintage.
Rich aromas of fresh-baked cherry pie, blackberry jam, and macerated plum mingle with savory aromas of cured meat, black pepper, and toasted cinnamon to present a wine that is broodingly seductive with fleeting hints of complexity giving glimpses to the treat in store for those who wait. Like a boxer at a press conference, the wine is muscular but elegant in a well- tailored suit of fine tannins, subtle acidity, and forward but unobtrusive alcohol.

"Strong Root, Great Fruit"
Here in the Ahtanum Valley, just west of Yakima, our ancestors chose the agrarian life, all the way back in 1897. The simple joys of our rural community, and the products it bears, still speak to us today.
In 2004, the fifth generation of Gilberts began the work of producing true-to-varietal wines from our vineyards in Washington state. What we found out is that wine brings us closest to family and friends and the truth and beauty that we crave. We’d rather be on our patio, candles lit, with a great dinner and a bottle of wine than almost anywhere else. We are privileged to share that with you through our wines produced with great care from grapes grown on the Wahluke Slope, in the Horse Heaven Hills, and the Ahtanum Valley.
Besides making wine, we make our own fun, which involves throwing a party (or two) and inviting our favorite musicians and artists to share their talents with us.
Growing and creating products and experiences that matter is both our ends and our means. We believe that what we’re doing matters: we’re making an authentic product that comes from the place that we love. In a time when everything comes from everywhere, our wines come from a place that isn’t anywhere else. Cheers!
