This inaugural vintage hails from the Columbia Valley, which lies near the volcanic Cascade Mountains and features rolling hills and arid landscapes.
The vineyards here, which thrive in a dry and warm climate, are home to some of the most interesting and under-the-radar plantings of Italian grape varieties, such as the featured Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, and also the French variety Syrah - all three of which we have brought together in this first bottling of our new, sun-kissed bold red.
The Ouest Rosso is sourced from organic and sustainably farmed sites throughout the western Columbia Valley. Each of the vineyards we work with were picked in the early mornings in mid to late October and fermented with varying levels of whole cluster inclusion.
