2015 Minnick Hills Syrah

100% Minnick Hills Vineyard, Walla Walla Valley (WA)

Modeled after Cote Rotie, this wine opens with blackberry, blueberry, and black plum fruits followed by chocolate, black pepper, and licorice on the nose. On the palate, these fruits continue to dominate backed by black pepper from the 33% whole cluster fermentation and star anise and oak tannin from the 22% new French oak. Fruity in its youth, in the next couple years this wine will transform into a beauty. 3.99 pH and 6.2 g/L of titratable acidity. Drink now through 2030.

2015 Sagemoor Vineyards Riesling

100% Dionysus Vineyard, block 17, Columbia Valley (WA)

Sourced from Dionysus Vineyard on the east bank of the Columbia River in Washington State, this wine begins with fresh banana (for you science geeks out there like me, isoamyl acetate is the ester that causes this), Fuji apple, pear, and nectarine on the nose. On the palate, apple, lemon, pear, and nectarine join your senses leading to a lasting finish of balanced acid with only a slight bit of sweetness (1.15% residual sugar). This wine is a testament to the fact that not all Rieslings are sweet. The winemaker tasted this wine during fermentation each day until he felt that it was right where it needed to be, and now that wine is in your hands. Fermented in stainless for 36 days. Drink now through 2025.
