VINEYARDS 2017 ESTATE RED MOUNTAIN MALBEC RED MOUNTAIN ORIGINALS In 1975 our family planted the first vineyard on Red Mountain, an area now known for producing some of the world’s most powerful, opulent wines of distinction. For three generations we’ve worked together on our farm to grow exciting, vineyard-driven wines that capture the essence of Red Mountain. VINEYARD PROFILE We have just 2.55 acres of Malbec planted at our estate Heart of the Hill vineyard on Red Mountain. The varietal thrives here, producing wines of uncommon depth and complexity. The fruit is highly sought after by Washington winemakers for its strong varietal typicity and opaque coloration. WINE PROFILE Malbec has recently been “discovered” by the new world wine-drinking public as a superb stand-alone cultivar for fruit-forward, dark, approachable wines with lots of depth. This certainly holds true on Red Mountain, where plantings are relatively young but already exhibiting a lot of character. A small Cabernet Sauvignon compo- nent—also from Heart of the Hill—adds layering and tannin. VINTAGE NOTES STATISTICS Heat accumulation in 2017 tracked slightly APPELLATION // lower than the extreme highs during 2016 100% Red Mountain AVA, 100% Estate Grown and Bottled and 2015, and a wet spring resulted in higher VINEYARD SOURCES // overall precipitation when viewed from an 100% Heart of the Hill annual perspective.
