Owners and winemakers Scott and Margaret Fivash got their introduction to the Washington wine industry by featuring the “Best of Washington Wines” in Washington CEO magazine, which they owned and operated for more than 15 years. In 2006, Scott and Margaret moved to Walla Walla to learn more about the wine business. While there, Margaret earned a degree at Walla Walla Community College Institute for Enology and Viticulture. Scott attended the Wine Executive program at UC Davis, and they both worked at various wineries for 3 years to gain experience. Now back in Sammamish, they’ve turned their woodshop into a winery and continue to make wine with grapes sourced mostly from Walla Walla.
Taste
2010 Chardonnay
Made from a single vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley, this wine has good minerality, with a touch of buttery mouth feel and is lightly oaked. It has a pear fragrance, with flavors of citrus and pineapple and a vanilla finish.
2010 Rosé of Merlot
The 2010 Rosé of Merlot is a fresh and fruity wine, off-dry, with a gorgeous red-pink coloring. It is a blend of fruit from 3 different vineyards– 2 in Walla Walla, and 1 in the Columbia Valley. A very pretty and super fun drink for any occasion.
