Description: | Blend 39% Mourvedre, 39% Grenache, 13% Syrah, 4% Counoise, 2% Grenache Blanc, 2% Picpoul, 1% Cinsaut. Tasting Notes by Winemaker Charles Smith "My daughter's wine. At first whiff, it has incredible depth. Blueberry undergrowth, stone, and a liquid minerality. Regal in the mouthfeel. Layered in the flavor spectrum. Savory to the living. A real beauty.". Vineyard: Powerline Estate Vineyard (100%) A 30-acre Estate Vineyard was planted in 2012 in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, just south of Walla Walla in the Walla Walla Valley Ava. The soils are well-drained with cobblestone river rocks and underlying layers of sand and gravel deposits, allowing vines to develop very deep and strong roots. The cobblestone rock was brought downriver from the Blue Mountains and deposited on top of the ancient river bed. The deep sand and silt below the stones bring a great purity to the grapes, while high elevations keep acids high and alcohol low, producing very well-balanced wines with remarkable complex characters. Vintage: The 2018 vintage was incredible! This outstanding vintage began mild followed by a long and dry ripening season in the fall. This enabled us to hang the fruit to reach optimal ripeness without losing acidity or increasing sugars. The wines from 2018 are exceptional in many ways, from the great expression of the whites to the beautiful refinement and complexity of the reds. Enjoy!. |
