The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing deep flavors of dark berries and plums, which are beautifully complemented by subtle notes of spices and earthiness. The tannins are quite structured, providing a firm backbone that lends itself well to aging. This Petit Verdot is decidedly dry, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes, and it reflects the unique terroir of the Yakima Valley with every sip.

Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
