Natural chillable red from fruit in Washington state, and finished at Division Winemaking company in Portland Oregon. Kirk Sutherland is the very talented winemaker who we are very excited about his future projects!
25% Redford-Wetle Vineyard Albariño (Willamette Valley) 25% Carousel Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon & 50% Carousel Vineyard Syrah (Yakima Valley).
In response to the wildfires that swept the Pacific Northwest in 2020, I direct pressed the Albariño, cold settled it and quickly racked it off its gross lees. I then pumped the juice over three quarters of a ton of whole cluster Syrah, and topped the whole thing off with direct pressed Cabernet Sauvignon. I added a few buckets of beautiful Chenin Blanc skins to the fermenting must. The grapes macerated for a little under 2 weeks, then were pressed and moved to four used barrels where it finished fermentation naturally, with nothing added, including sulfur. -- winemaker notes

Staff Review:
This natural blends pops with a smoky texture and lush fruits. I enjoyed it chilled and found dark berry flavors and a toasted undertone. Enjoy with a Chicken Shawarma bowl from The Market.
