Vineyards

The vineyards we work with are farmed using the most up to date sustainable practices. Northridge (100%): Planted in 2003, this vineyard is a very unique 92 acre site in the Wahluke Slope. An alleuvial 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.

Vintage

The 2015 Harvest in Washington State started with an early spring bud break and continued into a warm summer. Although it started early and was a very warm year, the fall turned out to be long and temperate, which gave great ripening to our fruit, bright acid, low alcohol and beautiful complexity.

Winemaker’s Notes

I love what this wine serves up. Blackberry, boysenberry, pie crust and black tea. It saturates the palate with sweet fruit, fresh oregano and fine tannins. A special find and an even better wine.
