But really, it’s who we are.She s a Classic (White)Our Signature Blend of Chardonnay and Riesling will ease the crankiness and stress of a long day. This “sassy little number” will surprise you — medium bodied, crisp, a floral blend that offers aromas of apples, tropical fruits flavors of pears, sweet herbs and honey. Off-dry. Go Girl RedA lush little number that is currently a Merlot Blend.This “Spunky” wine is tamed by its sensuous, velvet finish. We’ve often said it has the power to turn a gunnysack into velvet!The style of Working Girl Wines is soft and smooth, easy drinking without a lot of tannins and oak. It was made especially to express the fruit and the softness of Merlot.Lovely fruity aromas drifts up from your glass as you swirl and sniff in anticipation.Then with your first sip you taste bright racy fruit, including black berries.Rosé the RiveterRosé wines sometimes take a bum rap. There are different styles to every wine and grape. A true Rosé wine is crushed and the wine sits on the grapes skins for about 24 hours. This short contact with red grape skins gives the wine a rainbow of light red colors depending on the grape.Our Rose is made from Lemberger grapes.  It’s semi-sweet, and the little bit of sweetness is balanced by the natural acidity in the wine. The two compliment each other making this one of our favorite wines. We say this is our 5 o’clock wine.This wine presents a brilliant raspberry color and a nose full of red current, strawberry and cherry.All this fruit explodes in the mouth with an evolution to the fullness and a perfect balance between acidity and a titch of sweetness. Long fruit finish.  The Dungeness Series Red and White are part of our heritage wines.  Learn more.Dungeness White is a semi-sweet Riesling and you won’t find a better wine to enjoy with your Dungeness crab or our local shellfish.  It’s the most popular wine sold at our summer concerts.A semi-sweet Riesling, pale yellow color with a beautiful nose of fresh apple and apricot. In the mouth, it is like drinking a tropical fruit basket of peach, apricot, tangerine and Asian pear. Enjoy the soft and smooth mouthfeel.Dungeness Red is medium-bodied and made from the Lemberger grape. Although red, light tannins and bright berry flavors make it the perfect pairing with grilled salmon.An “Old World” grape with origins in Austria and Germany. A beautiful deep purple color, it has vibrant notes of blackberry and blueberry. This is a refreshing red wine packed with fresh berries and acidity. Medium bodied. A perfect pairing with salmon tomato-based dishes.The Olympic Cellars Series is our more premium brand consisting of varietals and classic blends.  These are our finest wines.
