OR Columbia Gorge Syrah and WA Columbia Gorge Viognier co-fermented (not a blend!)to create a lovely Rhone-style Syrah. Aged in 50% neutral French oak and 50% new French oak for one year on heavy lees.

The intention was to capture that wonderfully rich palate of bacon, blackberry, olives and violets that make classic French Syrah such a distinct wine. The project was a success.
