Tucked away on a private property, we are a small, family-owned winery producing hand-crafted wines in the heart of Woodinville Wine Country. We share our love of wine and community with some of the best wineries this industry has to offer. We're proud to be a part of a growing wine region that is rapidly increasing in popularity. An effort to produce outstanding wines is an obvious pursuit for many of us in this business. However, we see our connection with friends, community, partners and newcomers as the pinnacle of our efforts. We can only be so fortunate if our wines are respected half as much. We have but one winemaker yet many creators. January 2008 was host to our inaugural release of the reds, on the heels of the release of our signature Late Harvest Viognier. the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Low Man Red (Bordeaux Blend) and Qo-né all sold out and then the 2005 Merlot hit the stage on November 2nd, 2008. Roughly 30 months in the barrels and 8 months in the bottle before release, this Merlot is all that is left of the 2005 vintage. We have recently released the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Qo-né and Grenache, Cab Franc and a new Northwest Totem Cellars blend, the Potlatch - a blend of Syrah/Tempranillo/Petit Verdot. Coming in March will be our 2006 Bordeaux Blend, AKA: Low Man Red, and our Syrah. Please watch our events section for upcoming release dates. After a few years of waiting patiently and developing the first of our commercial releases, 2008 was an exciting and rewarding time for us and all those who have supported and encouraged us. We've been thrilled with the response to our first vintage, the 2005s, and have been even more rewarded by your reception to our new 2006 releases. We invite you to check back with us as we continue to develop our website. Thank you for your interest in Northwest Totem Cellars. We hope to meet you soon. Cheers!
