A Spot in the Top 100

We have exciting news to share. We are thrilled to announce that one of our inaugural release wines has earned a spot on the Enthusiast Top 100 Wines of 2020 list. Each year, the editors of Wine Enthusiast review more than 25,000 wines from all over the world and compile this list of premium wines representing quality, value, and availability. Our 2018 Grenache is one of just a handful of Washington wines to have made the list. What an honor to be among such great company. 

Writer and critic Sean Sullivan reviewed the 2018 LIMINAL wines a few months back and his reviews now appear in the Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide Best of Year 2020. To those of you lucky enough to have secured some of these wines, we hope you are in agreement with the reviews. To those of you who'd like an opportunity to get in on future releases, sign up for the allocation waiting list here. And to WeatherEye Vineyard owner, Cameron Myhrvold, and vineyard manager/partner, Ryan Johnson, congratulations on this accomplishment and thank you for your partnership. 

For a preview of Sean's reviews, keep reading.

"These are not only the most impressive inaugural releases I have had from any winery in Washington to date. They are some of the very best wines I have ever tasted from the state..."

-Sean Sullivan, Washington Wine Report & Wine Enthusiast

When we began this project, originally named Red Mountain Elevated, now known as LIMINAL, we knew the wines would be good. We knew that the combination of careful site selection, the meticulous vineyard study and management, and experimentation in the winery would lead to compelling and noteworthy wines. 

Since the start, we have eagerly anticipated the day when others could try the wines. Now as we near the public release, some of the first reviews from the critics are out and we are beyond thrilled with the feedback.

Sean Sullivan of Washington Wine Report and Wine Enthusiast recently wrote about WeatherEye Vineyard and his review of the first LIMINAL wines. While we'll have to wait a bit longer for his scores, we are humbled by his words. Read Sean's article here. 

“…one of the best wines I’ve ever had.”

– Sean Sullivan, in reference to the 2018 High Canyon Syrah

It is our privilege to share these wines with our allocation members, to whom we are incredibly grateful. You invested in wines that you hadn’t even tasted. Thank you. Soon, you may choose to open a bottle and make your own critique, but for now, we hope that Sean's review validates your investment.
