Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this wine are grown at our acclaimed Spice Cabinet and Milt's vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. Our Spice Cabinet 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
These grapes were sorted in the vineyard with the selective harvest on our Pellenc harvesters. The fruit was not crushed in order to preserve as much whole-berry as possible. We fermented the fruit in stainless teel tanks and open top fermenters with a combination of pumpovers, rack and returns, and punchdowns to control extraction and flavor. After fermentation, the wine was racked to 33% new French oak for malolactic fermentation. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months.
