The 2018 vintage was incredible! This outstanding vintage began mild followed by a long and dry ripening season in the fall. This enabled us to hang the fruit to reach optimal ripeness without losing acidity or increasing sugars. The wines from 2018 are exceptional in many ways, from the great expression of the whites to the beautiful refinement and complexity of the reds. Enjoy!
This vineyard is located at the Southwestern end of the Walla Walla Valley. It’s volcanic rock, with thin, wind-blown loess over basalt. The high elevation, 850 feet, means it doesn’t freeze and is a fairly windy site. This vineyard produces low yields and powerful, unique wines.
Whispers of raspberry compote, soy, cool stone and baking spice speak volumes of the harmonious nature of this elixir. Blueberry, herbs of Provence, lavender and white pepper join the mouth-filling symphony. Sleek, refined, and profound – a classic Walla Walla Syrah!
