Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown at our acclaimed Spice Cabinet Vineyard in the
Horse Heaven Hills. This vineyard sits on a southeast slope above the Columbia
River. The orientation of the block allows for morning sun exposure of the fruit,
while avoiding the intense afternoon rays.
Production Notes
The grapes were harvested and sorted in the vineyards with our "Selective
Harvester" to allow for maximum hangtime and flavor development. The fruit was
not crushed in order to preserve as much whole-berry as possible. We fermented
our Syrah in French Oak Fermenters with a combination of punchdowns and rack &
returns (délestage) to control extraction and flavors. After fermentation, the wine
was racked to a combination of new French and American oak for malolactic
fermentation. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months.
