Value, Versatility Make 2007 Vine & Sun Red a Must-Have Holiday Table Addition

Released for the First Time, Bordeaux-Style Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot Crafted by Esteemed Washington Winemaker Matthew Loso

WOODINVILLE, Wash.—(December 14, 2010)—Matt Loso has done it again, and the timing couldn’t be better for holiday tables:

2007 Vine & Sun Red Wine, $17 per 750 ml bottle

Fruit, Appellation and Vineyard: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain – Hedges Bel’ Villa); 21% Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley – Wallula); 14% Merlot (Columbia Valley – Conner Lee)

Aged: 21 months in American oak – 50% New / 50% neutral

Total Production: 375 cases

Formed in 2001 by five business partners passionate about fine wine, Vine & Sun LLC (http://www.vineandsun.com) features two labels under the company name—Vine & Sun and Barons V. While vintages are normally available only to a select mailing list of customers, wine shops and fine restaurants, the 2007 release marks the first time since the company’s inception that the public will be offered this wine directly*. Only 375 cases were produced, so at the incredibly approachable price of $17, this food-friendly Bordeaux-style blend won’t last.

Matthew Loso, Vine & Sun’s winemaker, boasts extensive experience in the Washington wine industry and has a legendary talent and palate. Formerly the award-winning owner and winemaker of Matthews Estate in Woodinville (WA), Loso’s ongoing mission is to fully express the vineyard while making world-class, Old World-inspired fine wines of intense character and great ageing potential. In addition to being the winemaker for Vine & Sun LLC, he is also a consulting winemaker for several other respected Washington state wineries.

“The timing couldn’t be better for us to introduce the Vine & Sun wine directly to the public. Not only is it offered at a terrific price, but it’s an incredibly versatile wine, making it the perfect complement to a complex holiday meal with a broad spectrum of competing flavors and tastes,” notes Loso.

The wine is available at the Vine & Sun tasting room in Woodinville (18504 142nd Ave NE), open every Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. To join the mailing list or purchase remotely, call (425) 398-7147 or email info@vineandsun.com.
