Each year at Northstar we produce a few cases of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah from our favorite Walla Walla vineyards to showcase the quality of the components used to make our flagship Merlot. In the Bordeaux tradition, we also make a Semillon as our "house white wine " to share with our close friends and guests at the winery.
Stella Maris is a blend of the same Bordeaux grape varieties that are harvested and fermented for the Northstar program, but for stylistic reasons are not ultimately selected for either Northstar Merlot blend. The wine shows a greater influence from Cabernet Sauvignon, which many people are surprised to learn can often be a "softer" wine than Merlot when grown in Washington state. "Stella" (as the wine is affectionately called) is a fitting home for these wonderful grapes and wine lots.
Stella Blanca is a blend of white Bordeaux varietals that are harvested and cold fermented for fresh fruit flavors and crisp, clean finishes.
