Marie Dorion, a Native American of the Iowa Tribe, was the only female member of an 1811-12 overland expedition, financed by John Jacob Astor, to establish a fur trading post at the mouth of the Columbia River—just six years after Sacagawea made her trek. Marie and her two young children survived a 40-man massacre and overwintered alone in the wilderness in 1814. In 1841, Marie settled on a farm on the French Prairie, in the same area Lady Hill calls home. Her's is a harrowing story of strength and resilience and we pay homage by labeling this wine in her name under the Lady Hill brand. Rich, complex Bordeaux blend with Red Mountain flavors of dried plum, fig, tobacco leaf, blackberry liqueur and lingering Red Mountain tannins.
