Scooler Nolan

November 25, 2019

An exciting new winery project on Red Mountain, Schooler Nolan named in honor the founder’s mother, whose maiden name was Scooler. The Nolan family has been in the hospitality business for 25 plus years in Homer, Alaska. They opened up Fat Olives Restaurant in Richland, Washington and the family began learning more about making wine while working a crush in Red Mountain. Wines are sourced from a variety of sites, including Horse Heaven Hills and Red Mountain. 

The new wines were really good across the board. I really enjoyed the 2016 Scooler Nolan Red Wine (WWB, 90) which shows a lovely texture and good balance. The 2016 Scooler Nolan Malbec (WWB, 91) shows some intriguing white pepper character and good complexity as well as concentration. Learn more about these wines at https://www.schoolernolan.com Here are the new red wines by Schooler Nolan.


2016 Schooler Nolan Red Wine- The 2016 Schooler Nolan Red Wine opens with good richness on the nose with creme de cassis, mocha, tar and black cherry compote that all take their shape in the glass. The wine shows good richness and balance with black olive, black tea, creme de cassis and mocha flavors that impress. Drink 2019-2027- 90


2016 Scooler Nolan Malbec- The 2016 Scooler Nolan Malbec shows intriguing white pepper with dark chocolate shavings and suggestions of blackberry pie on the nose. The palate has good freshness and intensity with ripe black tea, mocha, tar and white pepper flavors that mingle with a good sense of minerality. Drink 2019-2027- 91


2016 Scooler Nolan Petit Verdot- The 2016 Petit Verdot by Schooler Nolan shows nice herbal tones that mingle with black tea and blueberry pie on the nose. The palate has good freshness and weight with rich black and blue fruit flavors. I like the sense of decadence here. Drink 2019-2027- 91


2016 Schooler Nolan Syrah- The toasty oak notes wrap around the blackberry jam and shades of coffee grounds on the nose. The palate is quite forward as the wine shows good richness with dark fruits and chocolate. Drink 2019-2025- 89


2016 Scooler Nolan Cabernet Sauvignon- The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon by Schooler Nolan is an excellent new bottling from this new winery on Red Mountain.
