Sourced from vineyards along the Washington side of the River in the Columbia Valley AVA, where cooler nights prevail from the river influence and impart these varietals with structure and balance; where gravelly sandy soils deliver Provençal spice; and strong winds, similar to those of the Rhône Valley, maintain the health of the vines and the fruit. The Grenache from 35-year-old vines provides elegant fruit and white pepper; the 28-year-old Syrah is the source of the earthy, meaty blue fruit in the middle, with the Mourvèdre fills out the back end with characteristic gamey leather, tobacco, dark fruit and black pepper. A balance of primarily French Oak, with the introduction of a small amount of low aroma American Oak, gives this wine a subtle exotic twist as the two oak elements subtly interact to support the fruit in the aromas and the palate.
