2011 Quimera
The 2011 Quimera made from malbec, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot from varying locations boasts huge structure, dark fruits, and savory, herbal notes. A unique wine, blending the best of Argentina’s Malbec qualities with those of red grapes usually associated with Bordeaux and California. Quaffable in the short term but easily amenable to extended aging that will add complexity, nuance and elegance as time goes by.

Winemaker Lance Baer founded Baer Winery in 2000 with a single passion—to bring something unique to Woodinville. After years of working with some of the most prestigious wineries in the area, Lance wanted to take his winemaking skills in his own, creative, direction. Lance succeeded in handcrafting blends distinctly his own, and in April 2003 the winery’s signature blend, Ursa, was released.

This historic farm was originally named Vondeling, and its wines were given that name when the estate was bought by Julian Johnsen, Anthony Ward, and Richard Gower in 2001. The farm has a three-centuries-old winemaking tradition dating back to the early 1700’s. On the highest peak of Vondeling farm lies a piece of heritage. One of the Cape’s original signal cannons rests where it was once used to communicate to farmers that a ship had arrived in Cape Town’s Table Bay harbor. Farmers would then hasten to the docks to trade their wares, swop stories and receive mail. In recognition of these brave pioneer farmers, the Estate has named this wine after this symbol of their era.
