Wine Details
Price:
$32.00 per bottle
Description:
97% Estate Grown Syrah and 3% Estate Grown Viognier from Cougar Hills Vineyard, Stellar Vineyard, and Golden?s Legacy. Our estate vineyards are the exclusive source for all of our wines. Aromas of ripe plum jam, blackberries, strawberries, and spice are followed by a smooth palate balancing luscious fruit, spice, acidity, and finely textured tannins. A long, languishing finish shows the finesse of oak aging. 2002 was a good year for grapes in the Northwest. Long, warm days, and cool nights yielded very ripe fruit with well-balanced acidity and mature tannins. Co-fermentation with 3% Viognier has subtly expanded the fruit flavor profile to include more red fruit character than previous vintages. Controlling our own vineyards allows us to vine ripen the fruit for full flavor development. Hand harvesting and small lot fermentation with hand punch downs yields wine with complexity, huge varietal character, and smoothness. Finished by aging in small oak barrels, this wine is enjoyable now and will age well.
