Hightail Wine Kits
This region, Washington State, is one of the top Merlot
producing regions in the New World. The climate in the
Columbia Valley, due to the eastern exposure of the Cascade
mountain range creates wines of intense flavours and high natural acidity.

boasting cherries, plums and raspberries backed by alluring
notes of vanilla and spice from medium toasted American
oak chips.
From the first sip, you will be rewarded with a velvety wine
offering fine ripe tannins and a persistent finish. This is a
wine that is spectacular when paired with bacon wrappe

Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are the same grape but the
resulting wines can be very different depending on the region,
climate and winemaking style. While Italian Pinot Grigio
tends to be light and crisp with a short finish, Pinot Gris
from Alsace is richer and rounder with more floral bouquet.
This wine from Washington State falls somewhere between
the two. Brief contact with the dark coloured grape skins
gives this white wine a delicate pinkish hue. This fragrant
wine has the scent of pears, apples and melon, while the
fruity nose is balanced by a crisp mouth watering acidity
creating a smooth, easy to drink, dry wine that
leaves an impression.
On its own this wine works beautifully as an aperitif or with soft cheese but it pairs well with shellfish and light pastas.

The Okanagan Valley which is small by wine region
standards, only 100 miles long, grows exceptional grapes.
The long warm days and cool nights are perfect conditions
for growing rich, flavourful Cabernet Sauvignon grapes
and creating wines with great depth and body.
This deep garnet wine has an intense bouquet of ripe cherries and raspberries with faint spices – clove anise and vanilla. It is a rich full-bodied wine with flavours of dark fruit, cocoa
and earthy notes and balanced ripe tannins from toasted
oak shavings and spiral.
Pair this complex wine with an equally hearty meal – Beef Bourginnone, Coq au Vin or Irish Stew.
