A floral aroma of black roses, cool sand and crushed gravel. A weight-defying wine that includes dark fruit, cured olives, tanned leather, molasses, 60’s suede and a slap in the face with a bouquet of violets. - VINTAGE NOTES 2017 was a fantastic year for making wine with a cool spring and a fair amount of rain. Washington had an ideal spring for heathy vines. The moderate temperatures during summer were perfect for small clusters and yet delayed veraison into the fall where we had a consistent ripening season that allowed us to hang the fruit for perfect tannin and flavor without losing acidity or acquiring too much alcohol. Overall it was a vintage to remember
