About Component Collection

The Component Collection is produced in limited quantities in select vintages using single varieties that display interesting character and exceptional quality.

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

100% Col Solare Estate Vineyard

Winemaking

Harvested on September 28th. The berries were crushed, and gravity fed into one 5-ton stainless-steel tank and one 1-ton concrete tank. Following a three-day cold soak, daily pump overs and punch downs were performed to achieve the desired flavors and extraction. After 10 days on the skins, the wine continued to age in barrels, 36% new French oak and concrete for 16 months prior to bottling.
