K Vintners currently produces from three different viticultural areas in Washington State: Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, and Walla Walla Valley, regions which have all proven to grow great Syrah.

Ex-Libris is a latin term for “from the library,” and was the guiding principal for this proprietary project. Through connections with some top wineries in Washington and California, we were able to go into their vaults and secure some superlative lots of wine from top vineyards. The goal of the project is to produce wines that drink like $30-$40 bottles, but sell for $20.

The 2007 is an amazing vintage in Washington state and it really reflects in the wine. The 2007 blend includes an amazing piece from Sheridan Vineyard, which is one of the great new sites in Washington made famous by Andrew Will’s single vineyard bottling.
