Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown at our acclaimed Spice Cabinet East Vineyard. 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 open top vessels. Twice daily punchdownshelped promote extraction of color and increased tannin structure. After fermentation, the wine was drained, pressed, and barreled down for malolactic fermentation and oak ageing. This wine was aged for 18 months in neutral oak.
