Mark Ryan Winery Description

WINEMAKING NOTES
The 2022 Long Haul is composed primarily of
merlot from Quintessence and Ciel du Cheval
vineyards in the Red Mountain AVA combined with
merlot from Red Willow Vineyard in the Yakima
Valley. Ciel du Cheval is one of the oldest vineyards
in the Red Mountain AVA. The older vines produce
small clusters with intensely flavored berries.
Seventy miles to the west of Red Mountain, the
vines at Red Willow have an average age of 25
years and are planted on ancient soil above the
deposition of the Missoula floods. Red Willow
merlot offers a savory aromatic profile with
complex depth and power on the palate. The wine
was fermented in a combination of 1.5, 2 and 5-ton
open top fermenters for 7-10 days and was then
lightly pressed to barrel, where it finished primary
and malolactic fermentation and was aged for 21
months in a combination of new and used
French oak.
TASTING NOTES
A powerful and rich expression that seamlessly
balances opulence with elegance. Aromas of dark
bramble fruit, blackberry cobbler, and an intriguing
spice box of baking spices and clove. The palate
reveals layers of blackberry, dark cherry, and hints
of red fruit, underscored by subtle notes of gravel
and iron. Full-bodied, with focused acidity and
tannin that provide structure and lift to the intense
fruit flavors, the wine culminates with a long,
balanced finish.
