✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted with a low-intervention philosophy, this Syrah-Grenache blend showcases the dramatic terroir of Washington State's Columbia Valley. Sourced from prestigious, high-elevation vineyard sites, the wine highlights the region's signature diurnal temperature shifts, which preserve natural acidity while allowing the grapes to reach optimal phenolic ripeness. Winemaker Ryan Crane utilizes native yeast fermentations and neutral oak aging to allow the true character of the land to shine. The result is a harmonious, Rhône-style blend where the Syrah contributes savory depth, dark fruit, and cracked black pepper, while the Grenache lends vibrant red berry flavors, floral aromatics, and a bright, energetic lift.
