Arvid Monson developed his first vineyard on the advice of Dr. Walter Clore, known as the father of Washington's wine industry. "Find a tall sage and you have a place that will sustain superior grape vines". A tall sage is one that develops deep tap roots, and like Arvid himself, sustains the life around it. This release is our tribute to a man of great stature, the founder of Goose Ridge Estate Vineyards.
