Maria and Jay, welcome you to L'Entrata!

L’Entrata, “the entrance” in Italian, is our way of bringing family and friends together to enjoy all that vitis vinifera, ‘the wine-bearing grape’ has to offer. Maria’s Italian and Greek heritage practically infused wine into her DNA. It’s a fond remembrance of Maria’s large family gatherings and entertaining friends over the years. For Jay, it’s the warm recollection of family vacations to Napa Valley long ago when the world was just taking notice of this new, growing region. Wine sparks happy memories, closeness, and family for Maria and Jay. In essence, wine is life.

While living in Seattle, some of our best of times were those years working and volunteering at local wineries and developing relationships with wine makers from all over the region. That allowed us to grow in our knowledge of wine and invited us to immerse ourselves in its rich culture and atmosphere. It’s our passion to build a community around our love of wine that’s inviting, inclusive, and invokes happy memories of your time with us.

L’Entrata is a haven for enthusiasts, whether you’re brand new to wine or you have a sommelier’s palate. We know that wine culture has a reputation for being intimidating, which is why we’ve designed a space that has a casual, comfy ambiance while being deliciously upscale without the stuffiness. And, if you prefer to experience L’Entrata at home, we’ve created an online store that ushers wine and tasty morsels from our table to yours–delivery or drive up and go! No matter your comfort level, when you’re at L’Entrata, you’re family.

Our greatest wish is to fill your glass and fill your heart. We can’t wait for you to join us at L’Entrata, your home-away-from-home.
Ciao,
Maria and Jay

2019 L’ENTRATA – CABERNET SAUVIGNON

30 cases produced – May 2022
Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon 12% Merlot 3% Malbec
Aging: 20% new French oak 225Ls.
AVA: Columbia Valley
Alcohol: 13.9%

Vintage:

The 2019 vintage was warm to hot overall but late snow added significant moisture to the soil in March and April. The early growing season was plagued by high mildew pressure and substantial canopy growth. The vineyards continued to push new growth well into the summer as many vineyards went without watering for significant periods of time. Fall was moderate although we had an early frost that affected a number of vineyards.

Wine:

The fruit was picked at night to maintain freshness. Once at the winery the fruit was cluster and berry sorted and fermented in 97% stainless steel and 3% concrete tanks. Aged for 26 months in 20% new French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting note:

Vibrant notes of blackberry, plums, black currant, vanilla bean and raspberry liquor. Swirling adds pressed black fruits, raspberry puree, cocoa powder and sassafras. The palate is ripe and polished with a complex mixture of black fruits, black tea spice, juicy acidity and silky tannins.

2019 L’ENTRATA – PINOT NOIR

30 cases produced – May 2022
Blend: 100% Pinot Noir
Aging: 100% new French oak 228L barrel.
AVA: Columbia Valley
Alcohol: 13.7%

Vintage:

Wine:

The fruit was picked at night to maintain freshness. Once at the winery it was cluster and berry sorted and then fermented in 88% stainless steel and 12% concrete tanks. A blend of three clones; 667(50%), 777(38%) and Pommard(12%). It was then aged in 100% new French oak 228L barrels for 26 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Tasting note:

An intense nose of sweet fruits and savory nuance. Dried plums, sandalwood, kola nut, garrigue, black tea and blackberry compote. Swirling adds iron, chai spice and black cherry extract. The palate is medium bodied, filled with black fruits, spice and an intensely mineral driven finish. The tannins are ultra fine and carry this light in color but intense Pinot Noir to an incredibly long and complex finish.
