2018 Nebbiolo
Bold, rich with oak, plum and violet notes. A full-bodied red wine with flavors of toffee, black pepper and thyme. Aged in medium toasted French oak.
We picked all at 23.5° brix, destemmed and allowed the grapes to wild ferment in bins at 65° for 3 days, then inoculated with a yeast for another 7 days. We gently pressed the skins and transferred to medium toast French oak barrels to barrel age for 3 years.

March, and April of 2018 showed no precipitation and warm climate from 67-86°then spiking to 98° in May and into very hot temperatures of 107° and 105° for June and July. Cool mornings and less than average rainfall for this year. This vineyard produced very lovely medium sized fruit with medium garnet-colored clusters as this berry produced a rich brown seed and the white flesh Columbia Valley wines are known for.
