N Collection 2021 Petit Verdot

After 20 years in winemaking, I started a new wine label. This new project is not like anything I’ve ever done before. My aim, through this new label, is to search across Washington State for high-quality bulk, finished wines, which I will purchase, bottle, and offer to you all. And, I still remain firm in my family’s passion, to make these wines accessible to everyone at reasonable prices.

I would love to create every varietal from each appellation in the state, but that simply isn’t feasible. As a result, the idea of sourcing already produced, high-quality wines in limited quantities came to life. This 100% Royal Slope Pinot Noir beautifully captures the spirit of the N Collection project. As one of the smallest Washington AVA’s, Royal Slope grapes are hard to come by, as are Washington State Pinot Noir! However, with the launch of the new label, I was able to secure two barrels from the same grape source as my Brut Bubbles and previous harvests of Riesling grapes, allowing me to acquire this remarkable wine and bottle it.

Food Pairing

This wine is big, bold, and flavorful, so it needs to be paired with food that can hold up to it, such as hearty beef recipes, short ribs, carne asada, and dark chocolate desserts.  Try Ellena’s Red Wine Tri Tip recipe available online or in her latest cookbook.
