Wine Flight
The Psychedelic Syrah - The Rocks of Milton Freewater District 2019
The 2019 vintage comes from the estate Stoney Vine Vineyard and was 50% destemmed and sees slightly more new oak than the other wines here, aging in 23% new barrels. There's certainly no oak to be detected, and it has killer notes of blackberries, peppered game, tobacco, black olives, and candied violets. Rich, full bodied, and opulent, it has a more rounded, opulent texture, sound underlying structure, and a great finish.
The Archimage Reserve Red Blend - Columbia Valley 2019
The 2019 Archimage, comprised of 52% Cabernet Franc and 48% Merlot, was aged for 20 months in 40% new French oak. Our Estate Vineyard blocks, located in both the Walla Walla and Red Mountain AVAs, make up the entirety of this incredible wine. It has aromas and flavors of dark plums, exotic spices, wet stones, anise, a hint of cedar, and fresh picked herbs, along with both red and black cherries. The oak notes complement and lift the fruit and earthy elements of this wine, and the terrific acidity adds freshness to the long, lingering finish. The tannins are prominent yet completely integrated and will help this wine age for the next two decades, and perhaps longer!
The Illusionist Cabernet Sauvignon - Columbia Valley 2019
The 2019 Illusionist Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from our Estate Vineyard blocks located in both the Walla Walla and Red Mountain AVAs. It was aged for 20 months in 54% new French oak, and has a classic nose of tobacco leaf, red and black cherries, Asian spices, cassis, earthy herbs, and leather. The palate is dominated by dense flavors of more dark cherries and plums, with herbal undertones. It is richly textured, almost decadent, with refined, mouth-coating tannins, perfectly integrated oak notes, and incredibly fresh acidity. This Cabernet could prove to be immortal!
