Baba, which is what our girls called her, is a tribute to Kelly’s Mom, Sarah. In 2021 we crafted a classic Sangiovese driven blend, touched with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. Dick and Luanne Boushey’s vineyard in Grandview is the primary source for this red fruited, sandalwooded, black tea scented, earthy glory. Delicious right now, it is destined for a gentle evolution that will reveal inner secrets and universal truths at the same time.
Food pairing: Sarah’s eggplant parmesan or Sarah’s eggplant parmesan

FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Our first extry Tuscan was produced in 2015 as a wine club exclusive. The Brunello clone of Sangiovese was sourced from Boushey Vineyard in the Yakima Valley. Once the fermentation was dry we loaded the press, turned La Traviata up to eleven, busted up some lasagne and Brunello di Montalcino and let Elvis the Press do the rest. Lovely red fruit and flowers flowers flowers.
