From the start, attorney/winemaker Larry Harris has been focused on historic Washington state vineyards while his own estate plantings of Burgundy varieties have come into their own. Few spots in the Pacific Northwest can match the legacy of Klipsun, which the Gelles family planted in 1984 and sold to the Chicago-based Terlato Wine Group in 2017. Aromas of Chukar Cherries, baking spices and s’mores around the campfire lead to a vivacious palate that adds blueberry jam, cinnamon, nutmeg and cracked black pepper.
