Tasting Notes
Bright ripe fruit notes mix with spicy oak. The flavors jump out, dried strawberry, cherry, candied ginger and light oak. Easy drinking red wine with soft tannins and tangly acidity.
Vineyard Notes
The start of 2020 was wet for Eastern WA standards. Winter
had average snow fall and the spring had enough rain to get
growth off to a good start. The summer was long and hot with
near perfect growing conditions. We started harvest in early
September and continued until late October. The vintage went
very well and the wines are loaded with flavor.
Winemaker Notes
We machined harvested these grapes with our amazing
Pelanc Harvester and delivered them to the winery for
fermentation. Each varietal was picked at the prime time and
fermented separately. After fermentation the wines were aged
in new and used French Oak barrels. I normally just blend a
little Graciano into the Tempranillo but decided a little
Cabernet Sauvignon helped give the finish a longer note
