Distinctly floral, with earthy violets and oregano joining forces with boysenberries, basil, fresh-turned earth, aged balsamic vinegar and sweet gardenias. The mouthfeel is slick and slippery, with redcurrant, dried cherry, orange peel and sausage roll flavors caressing the palate.

Outstanding in this challenging vintage, the 2020 Top Source Red Wine combines 60% Grenache with the remainder Syrah. This quite honestly smells like a Cayuse wine. The range of aromatics is really outstanding with Umami, hoisin sauce, wet stone, black truffle crudo and suggestions of boysenberry sauce. The palate is beautifully textured, with fantastic finesse and length. The combination of weight, finesse and flavor/aromatic range is downright stunning. Do not sleep on this beauty.

The 2020 Red Wine Columbia Valley is savory, with a burst of crushed ashen stones and dried blackberries accentuated by spiced citrus and camphor. This is silky-smooth and pliant. Crunchy mineral tones complicate vividly ripe red and blue fruits. The 2020 finishes incredibly long, crisply refreshing with a Violette pastille nuance that lingers on and on. The Columbia Valley Red Wine is juicy and fun yet full of character. It's a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah refined in all neutral oak.

This is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, with a sizable portion of that fruit clearly coming from the stones in Walla Walla Valley. The aromas are exuberant, leading with notes of peat, fresh and dried tobacco, olive brine, crushed violet, wet rock, and a whiff of tangerine. There’s pleasing delicacy while still plenty of intensity to the soft-feeling, savory and umami-filled flavors, accented by olive and mineral notes. The finish sticks around for at least a 30-second count. It’s a stunner and a rare find at this price. 13.5% alcohol. 926 cases produced. TCA-free micro-agglomerated cork.
