June 2025 Wine Club
Savoring Walla Walla’s Finest at Village Wines
Welcome to a Month of Storybook Sips
There’s something magical about June in the Pacific Northwest. The air is sweet with sunshine, the days are long, and the evenings invite us to linger a little longer, glass in hand. This month, our Village Wines Wine Club is all about celebrating that magic with four unforgettable bottles. These bottles are from the heart of Walla Walla. Each wine in your June allotment has a story to tell, and we can’t wait for you to taste every chapter.
Amavi Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon:
A Tale of Resilience and Reward
Imagine a vineyard waking up under a blanket of spring snow, the vines shivering through a cool, damp start. That was the story in Walla Walla as the 2022 growing season began. But nature, ever the unpredictable author, soon turned the page: July arrived with a flourish of heat, coaxing the grapes into a summer dance of ripening and growth. By the time September and October rolled around, the fruit was basking in idyllic weather, developing the perfect balance of flavor, sugar, and tannin.
Pour a glass and you’ll find yourself greeted by the scent of black currants, dried herbs, and a whisper of baking spices. Take a sip, and the flavors unfold like a decadent dessert—dark chocolate-covered strawberries, black cherry, and black plum, all wrapped in mouthwatering acidity and lush tannins.
This is a wine that pairs beautifully with blackberry-glazed ribs or a hearty pasta Bolognese However, it’s just as lovely as the star of a quiet evening on the porch.
Walla Walla Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon:
A Symphony of Summer and Spice
The 2022 vintage at Walla Walla Vintners reads like a suspense novel: a chilly, uncertain spring, followed by a summer that brought the vines back to life. Not to mention an October that delivered four perfect weeks for ripening. The harvest was intense—70% of the fruit arrived in just three weeks!—but the reward was worth every moment.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a generous storyteller. Its aromas are layered: blue and black fruits, a swirl of vanilla and dark chocolate, and hints of roasted red pepper and sage. With each swirl in the glass, new characters emerge—cedar, graphite, and fresh herbs. The palate is richly textured, framed by dense, balanced tannins, and the finish is as polished as a well-told tale. This bottle is proof that great wine, like great stories, is meant to be shared.
L’Ecole No 41 Sémillon:
A Classic with a Fresh Perspective
Imagine a vineyard waking up under a blanket of spring snow, the vines shivering through a cool, damp start. That was the story in Walla Walla as the 2022 growing season began. But nature, ever the unpredictable author, soon turned the page. July arrived with a flourish of heat, coaxing the grapes into a summer dance of ripening and growth. By the time September and October rolled around, the fruit was basking in idyllic weather, developing the perfect balance of flavor, sugar, and tannin.
Pour a glass and you’ll be greeted by the scent of black currants, dried herbs, and a whisper of baking spices. Take a sip, and the flavors unfold like a decadent dessert. Taste dark chocolate-covered strawberries, black cherry, and black plum, all wrapped in mouthwatering acidity and lush tannins.
Amavi Cellars Sémillon:
The Essence of Summer in a Glass
If summer had a flavor, it might just be Amavi Cellars Sémillon. Clean, refreshing, and impossibly drinkable, this white wine is tailor-made for sunny days and cool evenings. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for when friends drop by unexpectedly. Or when you want to treat yourself to a moment of pure, uncomplicated joy. Pair it with seafood, salads, or simply a view of the sunset—this Sémillon shines in every setting.
