We can talk about vineyards, vintages, and winemaking all day.

But at the heart of it, this is why we do it.

To open a bottle. Pull up a chair. Share what we’ve made. And spend some time together.

Because wine has always been better when it brings people together.

Veraison is nearly behind us. Harvest is getting closer.

Over the past few weeks, these berries have softened, changed color, accumulated sugar, and continued developing the flavors and phenolics we’re looking for.

Now comes the waiting... tasting, watching, and letting the vineyard tell us when it’s ready.

Harvest will be here before we know it. 🍇

This is what we love about the tasting room.

The afternoon sun coming through the windows. A glass of wine on the table. Conversation that lasts longer than expected.

The kind of moments wine was made for.

A little heads up from the cellar...

The 2023 Composer and 2023 Tilting at Windmills are both getting down to the final few cases.

If either has been a favorite—or you’ve been meaning to try them—now’s a good time to grab a few bottles before they’re gone.

Available online and in the tasting room.

For the first time, Founder’s Reserve brings two vintages together.

The richness and concentration of 2023 meets the freshness and vibrancy of 2024, creating a blend that represents exactly what Founder’s Reserve has always been about: finding exceptional lots and letting quality make the decisions.

49% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Syrah, 14% Cabernet Franc.

Founder’s Reserve XII is available now in 6-bottle, 12-bottle, and 3-case offerings, all with complimentary ground shipping.

And, as always, no front label. Make it your own.

We never pick on the numbers alone.

Brix tells us something. But so does flavor. So do the phenolics. And ultimately, the vineyard has to bring all of those things together.

Billo shares what we’re actually watching for as the grapes move from veraison toward harvest.

And when everything finally lines up? We move quickly.

That deep purple doesn’t happen by accident.

As the berries move through veraison, sunlight helps drive the development of anthocyanins—the compounds responsible for that beautiful color.

For Cabernet and Syrah, plenty of sunshine on the clusters now can mean plenty of color in the glass later.

Veraison is more than a change in color. It’s a change in purpose.

The seeds have matured, the berries begin to soften, and the vine shifts its energy toward making the fruit sweeter and more attractive.

Billo takes us inside what’s actually happening in the grape as that transition begins.

If you're local, don't let this one pass you by.

The Heart of Walla Walla Drink Local, Get Rewarded program makes it easy to share an afternoon at Rasa, with two tastings for the price of one all year long.

It's one of those rare offers that feels too good not to use—and the perfect excuse to invite someone who's been saying, "We should get together soon."

Reserve your tasting on our website, and we'll see you soon.

Part 3 of 3 | Vineyard Update with Billo

Every grape follows a remarkable journey.

Right now, the berries are nearing the end of Stage One, when they grow rapidly in size. Soon they'll enter lag phase, where growth slows and the vine shifts its energy toward developing viable seeds inside each berry.

Only after that comes one of the most anticipated moments of the season: veraison—when the grapes begin changing color and the final ripening process begins.

We'll be back in about a month to show you that transformation. Until then, the vineyard keeps quietly doing its work.
