Sourced from a vineyard in Walla Walla, Washington on a southern facing slope on the east side. After a gentle fermentation and light pressing the wine went into a series of barrels, both French and American oak. Aged for 28 months in a cool cellar the wine developed some fascinating aromas of cedar and spices alongside a depth of dark fruits. The palate has dark fruit flavors and spice with expressive tannins and a long finish.
