Red Wine
Appellation
Walla Walla
Aromas of blackberry jam, freshly grated cinnamon stick and Moroccan-style lamb shank lead to a lush, dark wine with flavors of wild mushroom ravioli in sage butter, 85% cocoa dark chocolate, gravy reduction meatballs, earthy tannins and an enduring finish.
Winemaker Notes
Crushed gently and dropped by gravity into 1.5ton bins, cold soaked 48 hours, inoculated with a variety of yeasts, hand punched and pressed directly to barrel, where the wine finished both primary and secondary fermentations. The varietals were kept individual until blending at 18 months to create the Vineyard Reserve blend.
