The 2012 vintage welcomes a new wine for us, a Columbia Valley AVA designated wine. It blends 4 vineyards – the northerly Minick and Olsen with two Walla Walla Rocks sources – SJR and Stony Vine. Minick and Olsen provide red fruit and freshness, the Rocks gives pepper, funk, smoke, depth, and structure. Red cherry, blueberry, raspberry, leather, saline, meat, smoke, funk, violets, crisp acidity and energy.
