Yakima Valley, Washington State
Tasting Notes
Generous and lithe with cherry, blackberry and currants, Hints of garrique, violets and crushed pepper, followed by a long finish on fine grained tannins.
Vintage
One of the warmest vintages on record, through spring and leading in to mid September. At which point we experienced a period of cooler temperatures extending harvest in to early November with well-balanced ripeness.
