Dead Horse
Dead Horse is Left Bank Bordeaux in style and is made entirely from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard grapes . This wine is called Dead Horse because the vineyard name loosely translated in french is Horse Heaven. I believe Ciel du Cheval to be one of best vineyard sites in Washington. Consistently, Ciel du Cheval is one of the warmest vineyards in the state and this allows for big, ripe, elgant wines with great structure, balance and complexity. NO HORSES WERE HURT DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THIS WINE AND IT WAS TESTED ON HUMANS!
2002 Dead Horse is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Petit Verdot.

Long Haul
The name Long Haul is quite simply a trucking reference - Western Washington Winery - Eastern Washington Vineyards - get it. Long Haul originally began as a blend of Portteus and Ciel du Cheval. In 2002 we were able to increase our presence in Ciel du Cheval and produce Long Haul entirely from Ciel Du Cheval. Long Haul is still our right bank Bordeaux style wine in that it is primarily Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
2002Long Haul is a blend of 52% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot.
