2018 Small Lot Sharp Sisters
Notes of plum and salted caramel on the nose are mirrored on the palate and give way to flavors of red cherry, thyme and leather. The soft, round tannins lend to a beauifully balanced wine.

Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown at our acclaimed 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
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 the fruit in stainless steel tanks with twice daily pumpovers to extract color and flavor. After fermentation, the wine was racked to American and French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months.
