Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown at our Eagle & Plow, Cavalie, and Spice Cabinet
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
stainless steel tanks. Twice daily pumpovers allowed gentle extraction of color
and tannins. The wine was barrel aged for 16 months in 25% New French and
American Oak.
