2021 Small Lot Petit Verdot
Violet aromas are accompanied by notes of dark, ripe berries and wet stone minerality. In the mouth, blackberries and figs are accented with notes of eucalyptus. The concentrated fruit is round and full with powdery tannins. The bright acidity provides a lift on the finish that elevates the floral notes once more.

Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown in our acclaimed Spice Cabinet Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. The vineyard sits on southeast slopes above the Columbia River. The orientation of the blocks allows for morning sun exposure of the fruit while avoiding the intense afternoon rays.
Production Notes
These grapes were double sorted, first in the vineyard with the selective harvest tool on our Pellenc harvesters 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 wine in open top fermenters with twice daily punchdowns. After fermentation, the wine was racked to 67% new American oak for malolactic fermentation. The wine was barrel aged for 18 months.
