STRUCTURED • DRY • COMPLEX Planted in Columbia Valley’s Rattlesnake Hills AVA in the small town of Zillah, just south of Yakima. Known for the AVA’s higher elevation, the contrast of high heat during the day, and cool nighttime temps, contribute to the balance of optimal ripeness and fresh acidity. After four-decades in wine, owner, Tom Campbell planted the seven-acre site in 2005 and describes it as a “little slice of grape heaven.” Planting an array of grape varietals, such as Nebbiolo, Carménère and Aglianico. Since we started making wine in 2016, this might be the best fruit we’ve ever worked with- simply spectacular in every way. Nebbiolo is one of the more deceptive grapes out there- it’s light hue and transparency lulls you into thinking this will be a delicate wine, but this wine drinks with great, defining structure- high acidity and high tannin. Both bright and rich, with crumbly texture as well as considerably dry. The fermentation aromatics filled the winery with tart cherry, cranberry and rose petals. The wine has a lasting finish of iron, leather and anise. Enjoy with mushroom risotto, slow roasted pork or beef. This is one of our most cellar worthy wines. Recommended drinking window 10-15 years.
