Winemaker: Martin Johnson

2014 Estate Tempranillo

This wine demonstrates a brilliant clear garnet color, base to the rim. Aromas of raspberries, strawberries, and soft leather lead into a rich palate much the same. Subtle tannins and a pleasant balance of light vanilla to red cherries make this a pleasantly approachable wine. The wine is enjoyable on its own, or pairs well with grilled meats, garlic rich Italian cuisine or a hearty beef stew.

2016 Estate Graciano

A rare grape variety especially in Washington State, this wine demonstrates a bright ruby color, base to the rim. Aromas of raspberries, Bing cherries, and light vanilla lead into a similar rich palate. Subtle tannins, slight acidity and a pleasant balance of light vanilla and red berries make this a pleasantly approachable wine. The wine is fantastic on its own, or you can enjoy it with fried or grilled poultry, mild red chile rich (New) Mexican cuisine or a hearty Holiday dinner. Our Graciano is our “New World” styled contribution to our portfolio. Look

for more bright fruit aromas and flavors in this wine than in our “Old World Style” Tempranillo

Rose

Non-Vintage
100% Garnacha Tinta (Grenache Noir)

Neuter & Spay Rosé

This off-dry Rosé of Garnacha Tinta is a special blend of two vintages of our rosé. It was an experiment by our winemaker to develop a rosé wine with a bit more complexity than our usual single vintage wine. It’s a great wine to enjoy anytime. This rosé wine shines with a beautiful clear, salmon pink color. Aromas of strawberries and ripe melon lead to a savory palate with notes of strawberries, pink grapefruit, and fresh honeydew melon. Aromatic fruit notes and a barely perceptible sweetness balanced by crisp acidity make this a wonderful wine

to pair with spicy, salty foods on a meat and cheese picnic platter with crusty sourdough bread. Served slightly chilled (14C ~ 57F). Its brilliance shines best when shared with friends. Our favorite pairing? Salty finger food and an ample table surrounded by friends! Ruby Mag’ will donate 50% of the purchase price to the Yakima Humane Society’s Spay & Neuter Clinic. Local non-profit rescues will then have access to the funds for spay and neuter services. Our hope is to help with the animal overpopulation issue in the Yakima Valley and improve the futures of all the animals.

2020 Estate Rosé of Garnacha Tinta

Our off-dry Rosé of Garnacha Tinta is our “social sipper.” It’s a refreshingly enjoyable wine to enjoy anytime. This rosé wine flaunts a captivating, crystalline, pink rose color. Aromas of roses, strawberries, raspberries, and white peaches lead to a palate rich with strawberries, pink grapefruit, and fresh pomegranate. Dynamic fruit notes and a pleasant light sweetness balanced by a crisp acidity make this an easily approachable wine. The wine is deliciously refreshing on its own, or pairs well with spicy foods such as slightly spicy salami, including Spanish Salchichon or dry chorizo, or Italian Pepperoni. Good cheese pairings are in the slightly acidic Swiss family like Emmentaler or Gruyere. Served chilled (14C ~ 57F), this off dry rosé also pairs amazingly well with spicy nachos, enchiladas or most any spicy cuisine. Indian curriy or vindaloo anyone? (It’s also uh-mazing with Buffalo or other hot wings or spicy Thai.) It’s great with light snacks or fried chicken, and of course, it’s brilliant when shared with friends. Our favorite pairing? Spicy finger food and an ample table surrounded with friends!

2015 La Petirroja

Drought conditions in the Yakima Valley necessitated the closure of the Roza Irrigation Canal for three weeks in mid spring of 2015 (May 11th – June 1st). Flowering and fruit set were severely impacted as were the subsequent growing conditions due to the restricted water availability throughout the summer.

Showing a beautiful light yellow amber color, the wine has heady aromatics of candied orange peel and almond. On the palate, the wine is complex, slightly sweet yet balanced by ample acidity. This wine reflects the growing conditions with a deep aromatics and intense flavors reminiscent of zested orange peel.
