Signature Wines and Wineries of Washington
Pomum's sublime Chardonnay hails from older vineyards in the
Yakima Valley and is crafted for elegance and aging potential.
The winery's "Red Wine" is a blend designed to showcase the
strength of Bordeaux varieties in Washington State. This wine
may be one of the best values in the state as it is blended from
the same high-end vineyards touted by the most elite wineries.
Pomum's Tinto Tempranillo epitomizes Javier's passion for this
Spanish king of grapes grown in the vineyards of Washington.
The beautifully crafted Syrah represents the pinnacle of
Washington Syrah; cooler and warmer sites within the Columbia
Valley are blended for the perfect combination of the traditional
Syrah aroma character coupled with a fresh mouthfeel. Finally,
Pomum's signature Shya Red Blend—named for Shylah's
childhood nickname—is the winery's interpretation of the apex
of Yakima Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
