The Story

This site is higher elevation and has cooler evenings, which creates later ripening, lots of minerality, and concentration. The vineyards we work with are farmed using the most up-to-date sustainable practices.

Vineyard: Northridge (100%), Wahluke Slope AVA, Washington State Red Wine

Varietal: 100% Merlot

Soil: Loamy, fine sand over silica limestone, these ancient soils above the Missoula Flood plain are some of the best to grow fruit...
