Sourced from vineyards along the Washington side of the Columbia River in the Columbia Valley AVA, this wine is inspired by the great red wines of the Rhône Valley in France. The Grenache provides elegant fruit and white pepper, the Syrah is the source of the earthy, meaty blue fruit, with the Mourvèdre filling out the backend with characteristic brooding, gamey, leather, tobacco, dark fruit and black pepper. Minimal new oak is used in the lots comprising this blend, allowing the distinctive qualities of these vines along the banks of the Columbia River to shine through, resulting in aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry, tobacco, pipe smoke, and flavors of strawberry, raspberries, wild game, cured meats, cracked pepper, wood smoke, wild herbs, gravel, and cinnamon spiciness.
