March 27, 2022 - One of the best wines I have had from this small winery and I have had more than a few bottles over the years. Aromas of fresh blackberry, huckleberry, black pepper, smoked meat and herb are followed by even more pure dark fruit flavors that are rich but still bring a sense of freshness. The purity is absolutely dazzling as is the length on the finish. If this wine was from Paso Robles it would have a MSRP of $60 on it.

August 14, 2019 - Cherry, floral, black pepper, spice and blueberries. Medium plus finish and good acidity. Drink now to 2023.

February 10, 2019 - Funky aromatics blow off after a couple of hours open, developing into predominantly syrah tar. Surprising given the small proportion in the blend
Dark for GSM, nice depth -

October 3, 2018 - Another great wine from Kevin White. Nice rich fruit on the palate. Very fine tannins. Good balance between acid and fruit. Long finish.

April 7, 2018 - Friends and I tasted this at the Woodinville tasting room on 4/7/18. It had rich, fresh bouquet of raspberry, cherry, cola, pepper and spice aromas. The palate was rich, subtle and light with flavors that followed the nose.

Full Pull Super-Fine, Well-Priced Reoffers, 9/20/2017(Kevin White La Fraternite) Hello friends. Reoffers today on a quartet of super-fine, well-priced reds: Over the last five years, Kevin White has moved from a buzzy, rising star of Washington to one of the truly tested and consistently high-quality producers of our state. He makes ridiculously fine wines at prices that are pretty unusual. In our original offer of the two Kevin White wines listed below, we mentioned that Sean Sullivan would be giving them matching 93 point reviews in the September issue of Wine Enthusiast. Well, September is here, and so are these glowing reviews. On top of the new reviews, both En Hommage and La Fraternité have been included in Seattle Met’s annual Best of Washington Wine feature. We’ve included all of the new press below.See key for # of bottles currently available.

Full Pull The Gathering Hordes (+Block Party UPDATE), 7/5/2017(Kevin White La Fraternite) Block Party UPDATE: The second annual Sodo Block Party is drawing near! Details below, and tickets available here, but the important piece I want to share today: there’s early-bird ticket pricing ($35) available through July 31. In August, the price goes up to $45, and then it’s $55 for day-of tickets. This was an incredible event last year, and it’s only going to be bigger and better in year two. WHEN: Saturday August 26, 12pm -8pm WHERE: SoDo Urbanworks (Full Pull and our neighboring tasting rooms) WHO: In addition to Full Pull and our neighbors you already know (Kerloo, Latta, Rotie, Sleight of Hand, Structure, Waters), both of the soon-to-open tasting rooms will be participating – that’s Den Hoed and Nine Hats by Long Shadows – as will Schooner Exact Brewing. WHAT: Wine tasting, live music, food trucks, discounted purchases; the works. PICKUP POLICY: Because of the scope and complexity of the event, we will not be able to accommodate any wine pickups on the 26th. Thank you for understanding. ---- Today we’re offering a pair of wines from Full Pull favorite (and list member himself), Kevin White. Over the last five years, Kevin White has moved from a buzzy, rising star of Washington to one of the truly tested and consistently high-quality producers of our state. This year, in his fifth release of La Fraternité and En Hommage, Kevin White has continued to solidify his ranking in Washington winemaking, and according to well-placed sources, both of these wines will be receiving 93pt reviews from Sean Sullivan in the September issue of Wine Enthusiast. It’s a rarity to see 93pt reviews from Sean for wines in the $20s—but, that’s the story of Kevin White. He makes ridiculously nice wines at prices that are pretty unusual. Lucky for all of us.
