Sour plum,
cranberry and rich roasted game on the palate. This wine also exhibits notes of
● Stoney Vine Vineyard, ‘Rocks District’ Walla Walla Valley
● Warm spring time temperatures lead to early bud break
● Moderate early summer temperatures allowed for ideal bloom and fruit
set
● Cooler than average temperatures continued allowing fruit to ripen
gradually, leading to lower sugars and higher natural acidity.
● These cooler temperatures extended the growing season for optimal
flavor development across all varietals.
● Hand harvested grapes
● Picked early in the morning
● Harvest started on September 2nd and continued into mid-October
● Cross flow filtration prior to bottling
● Small lot fermentations in stainless steel tanks
● The cap was manually punched down twice a day
● The wine was aged for 16 months in French Oak barrels with two
rackings.
