Vineyards

Zillah Ranch is a cool growing site in the Rattlesnake Hills AVA.  It is conventionally farmed with no cover crops.  Average yield is 5 tons per acre.  Zillah Ranch is on rocky, rugged ground overlooking the western end of the Yakima Valley that delivers lean structured cool-site reds.

 

McNary is a cool vineyard site that sits on top of basalt cliffs overlooking the Columbia River in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA. The property is conventionally farmed with Siberian Crested Wheatgrass as a cover crop.  Soil profiles and viticultural practices consistently provide uniformity throughout the blocks and optimum maturity is achieved at lower brix whilst maintaining vibrant acidity. 

 

Winemaking Notes

Machine harvested on September 12th and 17th pressed with minimal skin contact to stainless steel tank for cool controlled ferment at 55f. 

 

Tasting Notes
