Now that we are over 10 years old, our wine library is becoming more and more coveted. It is important to us we expose our members to the growing depth of our library, so we host vertical tastings every other month for our club members and their guests only.

Captain’s Table Tastings are a special and rare opportunity so please come join the fun!

Tuesday, January 28th we will be opening a vertical of Eight Bells Old Salt, our beloved Super Tuscan. We will have all five vintages for tasting, starting with our first year in 2012 through our most recent 2016 release. This is a great event to learn more about wine making, the nuances of an older vintage versus younger, etc.

We will be releasing our 2016 Red Willow Vineyard Old Salt ($28), our 2014 Red Willow Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ($42) and our 2016 Red Willow Vineyard Syrah, Eight Clones ($38). 

The 2016 Red Willow Vineyard Old Salt is very similar to the last two vintages.  It is a blend of 71% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Cabernet Franc. Raspberry, herb, and cherry aromas.  Medium bodied with dark chocolate and cherry flavors.  It shows a lovely sense of balance and restraint (Wine Enthusiast 89 points). 

The 2014 Red Willow Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 5% Malbec.  It is bright and fresh with notes of dark raspberry, dried herb, jam and tar.  It has superbly balanced fruit flavors that linger on the finish (Wine Enthusiast 91 points). 

The 2016 Red Willow Vineyard Syrah, Eight Clones is very similar to our previous vintages. It is a blend of eight different clones of Syrah, along with pinches of Grenache and Viognier. Lighter in color, the aromas leap up, with notes of blueberry, fresh raspberry, flower, tangerine peel and dried and fresh herbs. The palate shows a dazzling sense of texture and purity that lead to a fruit and smoked-meat-filled finish. 

This event will be open to members and their guests by RSVP only. To close out our harvest season, we will be partnering with Inglewood Country Club to host a plated dinner paired with Eight Bells wine in the Grand Ballroom at Inglewood Country Club.

We will have a great assortment of our present line-up along with some surprise wines from our library available for tasting.  Harkening back to the old Release Events, we are going to have freshly shucked oysters.  Along with that there will be an assortment of appetizers prepared by Seattle celebrity chef, Eli Dahlin; music by the Mitch Yockey Trio and a few other surprises.

The first 100 members to rsvp will receive at the party a free 2 piece set of Riedel tumblers etched with the Eight Bells logo.

With Mother's Day on May 12th, we think Saturday, May 11th would be a great day to launch our Compass Rose'.  The wine is excitingly aromatic, very clean and crisp, yet full on the palate, like the rose' of Bandol.  The salmon color is true to it's Northwest heritage.

We’re proud to be pouring some of our wines at the Claret Wine Bar on the 27th! Come join us.
