Zinfandel in America. Primitivo in Italy. Rich, dark, unctuous. Briar berry, explosive, ripe and restrained. Makes me want to roll up my sleeves and dig into some spaghetti, red sauce, meatballs and parmesano with crushed red pepper. From my cellar to your table!
Vineyard Notes
Planted in 2003, the Northridge Vineyard is a very unique 92 acre site in the Wahluke Slope. An alluvial fan gravel bed, the site rests above the flood plain of the Columbia River. Under the topsoil is a layer of caliche and basalt, 6-12 inches deep, creating a calcium and iron rich media that forces roots to struggle.
The vineyards are farmed using the most up to date sustainable farming practices.
