Fun Fact: Not only do we make red wine from Grenache Noir, but also white wine from Grenache Blanc! (And who wants to plant us some Grenache Gris?!)

Just catching up on our favorite day: #internationalgrenacheday! Cheers! 🍷

Yesterday we brought in 10 tons of Grenache and Syrah for our 2023 Rosé! They went direct to press and will co-ferment together to make a beautifully dry, crisp, and aromatic wine.
Can you believe the size of the Grenache cluster? It’s almost the size of Tannin’s head!

*NEW WINE* We are excited to release our 2021 Stone Ridge Syrah from the Royal Slope AVA to our wine club!
This Syrah was inspired by Côte Rôtie region in France, where they co-ferment Syrah with Viognier to enhance the color and aromatics. 🍷
Review from Sean Sullivan at Northwest Wine Report:
94 points, Critic’s Choice
Fruit for this wine comes from one of the most distinctive sites in the Columbia Valley. Co-fermented with 5% Viognier and aged in 225L French oak, the aromas are explosive, with notes of blueberry, boysenberry, dried herb, coffee, stargazer lily, tobacco, and an earthy funk. Saturated, downright rich blue and black fruit flavors follow. The layering and intensity are impressive, bringing a sense of unbridled hedonism. An outrageous finish only ups the interest.
