Winemaking

Crushed gently and dropped by gravity into 1.5 ton bins, cold soaked 72 hours, then inoculated with a variety of yeasts, hand punched and pressed directly to barrel where the wine finished both primary and secondary fermentations.

Vintage

Candy Mountain Vineyard had very dry growing and ripening conditions leading to complete control for the viticulturist and winemaker to manage the grapes for intense flavors that are balanced and smooth.

Vineyard

Candy Mountain Vineyard is located in the Columbia Valley Appellation on a south facing slope west of Pasco, Washington where I-82 and US-12 converge near Red Mountain.

Tasting Notes

Delectable aromas of captivating strawberry with red cherry and a bouquet of violets lead to a concentration of lively dark fruit, a dash of vanilla pipe tobacco, and silky, tart tannins for an extensive finish.
