synergy fine wines

One of the first cool vintages Willamette Valley has had in a long time. Warm to start and then cool later in summer with a bit of moisture and rain. This was a classic Oregon vintage that yielded higher acidity due to the coolness during harvest.

On the nose the fruit is raspberry, rhubarb deliciousness with undertones of slate. On the mouth the balance and elegance is the first thing you notice followed by raspberry, cream tart and pomegranate finishing with sexy hints of Georgia tar. Long and slow finish.

15% whole cluster, 85% destemmed, all free run juice. 1.5 ton small lot fermenters. Cold soak 3-7 days. Hand punched 2-3 times a day for excellent extraction, 18 months French Oak, unfiltered.
