Vineyard Notes
The grapes for this wine come from our Spice Cabinet and Milt's estate vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. The fruit is exposed to dappled sunlight, allowing for uniform ripening and flavor development. Well-balanced crop levels have allowed us to create wines with great depth and concentration.
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. At the winery, individual lots were fermented in an oak fermenter and open tops with twice daily punchdowns. The oak fermenter was also treated with rack and returns to allow for gentle extraction of color and tannins. The Syrah was co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier to help build mouthfeel during fermentation. This wine was aged for 20 months in 57% New French Oak.
