Winemaker Comments
“Rich aromas of black fruit mingle with herbal, smoky tones. The palate shows
ample fruit with subtle oak impressions and luscious, soft tannins. A perfect
wine to pair with roast duck or turkey.”
-Joy Andersen, Winemaker
Notes From The Vineyards
-Washington’s long, warm and dry growing season creates ideal conditions
for intense aroma and flavor development in ripening Syrah grapes. Cooler
evening temperatures during the ripening season concentrate aromatics and
enhance complexity.
- Vineyards receive only 6-8 inches of rainfall annually and soils are deep and
sandy with low water-holding capacity. These vineyard characteristics stress
the vines and ultimately yield concentrated fruit with depth and varietal
expression.
- To ensure optimal ripeness and maturity, grapes were harvested just as they
began to shrivel.
- Vineyards are hand-pruned and grapes are hand-picked for the Reserve
bottling.
