2022 Foolhardy
Sauvignon Blanc
Our 2022 Foolhardy Sauvignon Blanc explodes in the glass with aromas of citrus and crushed rocks and a delicious array of juicy tropical, lemon, lime and mineral flavors.
This wine will excel as either an aperitif or with a wide range of dinner options: shellfish, grilled or roasted fish, pork and chicken are all great matches, as are spicy and vegetarian fare.
2018 Foolhardy
Cabernet Sauvignon
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of two old-vine blocks in Western Yakima: Elephant Mountain, planted in 1999, and Red Willow, planted in 1991. The 2018, our third bottling of this wine, is the richest Foolhardy Cabernet Sauvignon to date. Featuring a fleshy texture and ample flavors of dark berries, dark cherries and cocoa, it will drink well for the next decade.
2020 Bacchus
Cabernet Sauvignon
Our inaugural bottling of old vine Cabernet Sauvignon from the 1972 planting at the much-praised Bacchus Vineyard. Burgundy meets Washington Cabernet. Just one barrel—24 cases—produced. Very limited quantity.

2019 Red Willow Vineyard
Cabernet Sauvignon
We're thrilled by the quality, complexity and refinement of the 2019 Red Willow, our first bottling of a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. From the start of Foolhardy in 2016, Jonathan and Dan agreed that blending fruit sources from different vineyards was the key to achieving consistent excellence, and that we’d only make a single-vineyard bottling if we had a special, genuinely distinctive wine. The 2019 Red Willow Cabernet hits that mark.
Enticingly perfumed and aromatic, it features a range of lovely red berry flavors, floral tones and subtle dried herb and mineral accents. The texture is silky and supple, more reminiscent of Left Bank Bordeaux than typical New World Cabernet. Will harmonize brilliantly with lamb, beef, game and poultry. There are very few Cabernet Sauvignons like the Foolhardy Red Willow and we’re confident that you’ll share our excitement about this exceptional wine. Only 51 cases produced.
2019 Walla Walla Valley Malbec
Our inaugural offering of Malbec is loaded with distinctive flavors: a medley of wild berries, blueberries and cardamom spice. It features both intensity and tension, with a coiled energy that promises a decade of delicious drinking. Unlike our other red wines, the Malbec wasn’t aged in any new French oak—previously filled barrels better preserve the fruit purity and distinctive aromas that make this Malbec such a standout character.
All of the grapes for this wine come from the Southwind Vineyard in Milton Freewater, just outside Walla Walla. Situated at 1,400 feet of altitude, Southwind has soils loaded with fractured basalt, a very unusual profile for Eastern Washington. The high-stone content and cooler temperatures at altitude give the Malbec from this vineyard a freshness and minerality that make it unique.
An intriguing match with a range of cuisines, the Malbec has the concentration to show well with a grilled steak or lamb roast, as well as the exotic spice tones to complement Indian or Mexican fare. Only 45 cases produced.
2018 FH Cabernet Sauvignon
Our third vintage of the FH is crazy easy to like. Supple and generous, it features a range of black cherry, blackberry and delicious dark chocolate tones. Already in peak drinking form, the 2018 FH will stay in stride for at least the next five years.
A blend of 91.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec and 2.3% Petit Verdot, it has the heft to stand up to hearty food (think grilled steak or roasted chicken or pork), as well as the supple charm of to make you crave another glass as aperitif. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.
