New Release and Estate Wine Sale from Woodward Canyon New Release: 2007 Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, $39. "This wine has a beautiful nose of subtle tobacco, complex spiced oak and clove that integrates beautifully with ripe black cherry/cassis fruit. A rich mouth feel begins with black cherry leading towards a chocolate/mocha finish that is exotic, enticing and long." 599 cases produced, 10% case discount applies. This is a great example of a Walla Walla cabernet. Green Beer, Green Wine, Green Wine Sale? We have it - well, at least the wine part.

'Green' Wine: All of the fruit that we use in our Estate wines come from our Estate Vineyard which is certified sustainable by LIVE, Vinea and Salmon-Safe. These three organizaitons work to help vineyard owners improve and nourish the land that is farmed, making it a better environment for the entire ecosystem. At Woodward Canyon, we have encouraged biodiversity by restoring native vegetation, such as juniper, rabbit brush, green sage and grasses, between the vineyard blocks. Our newer plantings, as well as the vegetables we grow on the vineyard property, have been farmed organically. We utilize grape pommace, green waste from the Tasting Room garden, organic manure and cedar chips for use on the vineyard. To minimize water usage, the entire vineyard is on drip irrigation. We also use sustainable practices in the winery and in the office. In fact, in 2008, by participating in Pacific Power's BlueSky program, we saved the equivalent of 23,252 pounds of CO2, which is equivalent to not driving 23,590 miles in a car. How cool is that?
