Description:
This wine was made from fruit sourced out of the Yakima Valley in eastern Washington. The juice was separated into 4 separate lots and then innoculated with 4 different yeasts. This produces a wine that is wonderfully fruity and has apricot and peaches on the nose, with passion fruit, peach, mango, grapefruit and a hint of banana and flint on the palate.
