Waters Winery and Wines of Substance Now Offer Free Shipping
Perfect Time to Stock Up for the Holidays and Beyond

WALLA WALLA, Wash.—(November 30, 2009)— The holidays are here again, and both Waters Winery and Wines of Substance are getting into the spirit of the season by launching free shipping; with minimum orders of three bottles from Waters or six bottles from Substance.

At Waters, founder Jason Huntley and winemaker Jamie Brown are recognized for wines that emphasize the terroir of Walla Walla. Huntley says, “Jamie has a rare gift for wines that aren’t only food friendly and old world in style, but wines that showcase both varietal and vineyard. I can’t think of a better way to appreciate his talent than to do a side-by-side tasting with Waters’ three single-vineyard Syrahs.” Waters’ three single-vineyard Syrahs include:

2007 Loess Vineyard Syrah ($40)
Blend: 97% Syrah, 3% Viognier

2007 Forgotten Hills Vineyard Syrah ($40)
Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
Blend: 100% Syrah

2007 Pepper Bridge Vineyard Syrah ($40)
Appellation: Walla Walla Valley
Blend: 100% Syrah

Huntley, Brown and Greg Harrington (also of Gramercy Cellars) established Wines of Substance in 2007. The brand’s fresh concept and award-winning design take an elemental approach to wine education through their innovative Periodic Table of Washington Wines. Substance’s single-varietal releases transparently showcase the qualities unique to each grape grown in Washington State.

Jamie Brown recommends the 2008 Substance Cabernet Franc as a lighter, highly food friendly wine that pairs to a range of holiday meals. Other current releases include the 2007 Riesling and 2008 Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Syrah and Viognier.

Waters Winery was founded in 2005 by Jason Huntley, a fifth-generation “Walla Wallan” and managing partner of the private asset management firm Huntley Thatcher Ellsworth, Ltd. of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Huntley partnered with acclaimed winemaker Jamie Brown to release their first wines in 2006, and in November 2007 Waters opened a 5,000 sq. ft. sustainable winery designed by renowned Boxwood Architects. Waters owns several estate vineyards throughout the Walla Walla Valley AVA and produces just under 3,000 cases. Current releases include small lots of Cabernet Sauvignon, single vineyard Syrah, a Bordeaux-style blend “Interlude,” Viognier and Rosé.

Located at 1825 JB George Road, Walla Walla, Washington, Waters’ tasting room is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment. For more information, call (509) 525-1590, or visit www.waterswinery.com.
