friend, a rail enthusiast, told us which trains are featured in the photos. I believe the Merlot and the 2010 Estate Cabernet Franc are in the Northwest because of the logging connection, and log- ging was big here.” She goes on to point out that, “our 2011 Syrah label does feature a lo- cal picture (shown here), taken just a few miles from our winery, in Dayton, Wash. It is of a gas-powered McKeen Motor Car Com- pany passenger car. These cars were used to take passengers from Dayton to Walla Wal- la, our larger neighbor, and later carried Washington State University football fans from Dayton to Pullman to catch games.” Another label, On the Cuvee No. 439 (not pictured on the website), was named to com- memorate the ex-Oregon Railway & Naviga- tion Company locomotive that pulled the first passenger train into Dayton on July 19, 1881. The picture on the label was taken lat- er, believed to be in 1886. “We can date the picture,” says Ms. Harvey, “because the cupo- la on the courthouse is under construction and was not finished until 1886.” Shades of the Back to the Future movies. Of the “rudimentary” drawing, Ali had this to say: “The label for the Minnick Hills Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon was created by an artist in our region. The actual label is a
print of his work, and is printed one at a time, with beautiful embossing to show some relief.” About the Wine: La- bels are one thing, but what about the wine? First, consider that the top 100 annual wines selected by the highly regarded Wine Spectator magazine average a rating of 93. Now
consider that the Dumas Station labels pull down numbers like 92 (2008 Estate Merlot), 91 (2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon), and 90 (2010 Estate Cabernet Franc). Those speak to the craft and quality found here. Tom Burg again: “A friend in Idaho has tasted their Cow Catcher Red and says it is excellent. Hopeful- ly I can bring back a bottle when I go to Idaho in March. I plan to join their wine club this spring to earn a 20 per cent discount — roughly equal to the shipping costs — for what looks to be very good wine.” For the Record: The Dumas Station
Winery and Tasting Room is at 36229 High- way 12 in Dayton, Wash. The tasting room is open 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Saturdays, March through mid-December, or by appointment. For more information, go to www.dumas
