WINEMAKING NOTES
Our 2024 Viognier is sourced from two distinct
vineyards in the Yakima Valley AVA: Red Willow on
the far western edge and Olsen on the eastern side,
near Red Mountain. The cooler climate and
exceptional terroir at Red Willow contribute
elegant floral aromatics and bright citrus flavors,
while the warmer, south-facing slopes of Olsen
yield ripe melon and tropical fruit notes. This
vintage was aged for six months in a mix of vessels
to achieve depth and balance: 58% used French
oak, 26% stainless steel, 9% new French oak, and
7% concrete egg. The concrete enhances mouthfeel
like oak while maintaining the pure aromatics of
stainless steel. The new French oak imparts subtle
layers of sweet spice and added texture, while the
used oak component enriches mouthfeel without
overwhelming the wine’s natural character.
Stainless steel preserves the delicate aromatics
and brings a vibrant freshness to the palate.
Fermented dry over three months at low
temperatures, this Viognier retains its elegant
aromatics. Through fermentation, gentle lees
stirring enhances texture and complexity. Once the
winemaking team determines the optimal balance,
malolactic fermentation is halted, and the wine is
then filtered prior bottling.
TASTING NOTES
Beautiful brightness in the glass with a nose that
reveals layers of ripe peach, delicate orange
blossom, apricot, jasmine, and subtle vanilla
nuances. The palate experiences remarkable
freshness — full-bodied yet precisely balanced with
vibrant peach and citrus flavors culminating in a
pristine, clean finish.
