VINTAGE
2021 was a very warm growing season which resulted in intensely concentrated flavors in the wines. Our typical cool nights during harvest helped us retain the wonderful natural acidity Washington is known for. The season produced red wines dark in color and dense in concentration and white wines with varietal character and bright vibrancy.
VINEYARD
Sourced from the following vineyards in Red Mountain: Quintessence Vineyard (80%) and Col Solare Estate (20%).
WINEMAKING
Harvest occurred on September 17th. The grapes were gently crushed, and gravity fed into a small stainless-steel, temperature-controlled tanks. Following a three-day cold soak, daily pump overs were performed to achieve the desired flavors and extraction. After secondary fermentation, the wines were racked to 100% new French oak, and aged for 20 months prior to bottling.
