2023 VINO ROSSO

$41.00

ITALIAN BLEND • COMPLEX • FOOD FRIENDLY

The 2023 Vino Rosso is our small batch Italian red blend. Cellared in a single neutral barrel and aged for 18 months. The blend leads with Nebbiolo, giving a base of defined structure, high acidity and pronounced crumbly tannin, offering cranberry and rose aromatics. 20% Barbera was added to soften the texture, while adding considerable weight. Barbera enhances the red fruit dominance of the blend while adding an herbal component. 5% Sangiovese add just enough rustic quality to the wine, resulting in earthy and savory bouquet and flavors. This blend pairs best with your favorite white sauce pastas, pizza and grilled meats.

Tanjuli Vineyard stands in Columbia Valley’s Rattlesnake Hills AVA in the small town of Zillah, just south of Yakima. Known for the AVA’s higher elevation, the contrast of high heat during the day, and cool nighttime temps, contribute to the balance of optimal ripeness and fresh acidity. After four-decades in wine, owner, Tom Campbell planted the seven-acre site in 2005 and describes it as a “little slice of grape heaven.” Alder Ridge has been a long-standing source for us in Columbia Valley’s Horse Heaven Hills. Located on the northern banks of the Columbia River, high winds from the Gorge produce thick skins creating high concentration of flavor.

    SINGLE BARREL RESERVE

    24 cases produced. BLEND 11 RESERVE is a single barrel select bottling from our cellar. Block 7, the southeastern pocket of our Pinot Noir vineyard, comprised of Dijon 114 on Carlton soil, has been producing our favorite wines from our site to date. Enough so, that while tasting through the life of this wine in cellar, this single barrel was so complete by itself, we chose to bottle it separately, as it was the star of the cellar. This is the first whole cluster ferment from our site, which elevated elegance, increased structure and enhanced spice. Enjoy now or cellar for years to come. 

    Farmed, vinified & bottled by our family to yours. Our estate vineyard is 4.3 planted acres of Pinot Noir. Small, yes, but this allows our family to farm it exclusively- keeping diligent contact with every vine from bud break to harvest.

    When it comes to our own vineyard, our goal is to produce the best possible wines we can, while capturing the site's own diversity & distinctiveness. Each year we will produce as many blends to meet these two fundamental requirements. And just as each vintage is different from year to year, each blend we create will be too, and therefore assigned its own individual number- forever cataloging the count of hopefully a long line of uniquely delicious Pinot Noirs for years to come.

      SMOOTH • JUICY • STRAWBERRY

      Planted along the banks for the Columbia River, at the southern tip of Horse Heaven Hills AVA, Alder Ridge Vineyard’s site selection is second to none. Benefiting from the warmer continental climate of Columbia Valley’s growing season, but with cooling effects from the proximity of the river, high winds from the gorge, and large drops in nighttime temperatures- creates a beautiful balance of enough heat to optimally ripen, but cool enough to retain the fruit’s vibrancy. 

      The 2023 Barbera was a two-ton fruit yield, separated into two unique one-ton ferments. Starting with a lengthy cold soak for seven days, the wine started ferment utilizing two distinct yeast strains. The wine was then pressed and separated into four neutral French oak barrels to cellar for 18 months. The resulting wine is extraordinarily approachable- smooth, low tannin but still drinks with considerable concentration & weight. There’s a large burst of juicy strawberry, tart raspberry and licorice, but the wine finishes with subtle notes of dried herbs and pepper for added complexity. Enjoy now or cellar for years to come with your favorite pizzas, red sauce pastas and grilled meats. Recommended drinking window 5-8 years.
