Winemaking notes
100% Syrah from Wahluke Slope Production: 2.5 tons per acre, native yeast, 100% whole cluster fermentation, 53 days on skins | 40% new French oak puncheons, 22 months barrel-aged on lees
Viticultural notes
Northridge Vineyard (100%) Loamy, fine sand over silica limestone, these ancient soils above the Missoula Flood plain are some of the best to grow fruit. This site is higher elevation and has cooler evenings, which creates later ripening, lots of minerality and concentration. A hidden gem
Tasting notes
From the ancient soils of the Wahluke slope, a dark-dense structure goes on forever. Black currant, wild sage, black plum, fresh mushroom, and crushed rock make this serious wine sing with focus while delivering black raspberry, cigar wrapper, black pepper, and wet earth. Broodily serious and rockin’!
