Drumheller Description
VINTAGE NOTES
2021 was a very warm growing season which resulted in intensely concentrated flavors in
the wines.
Our typical cool nights during harvest helped us retain the wonderful natural acidity
Washington is known for.
The 2021 season produced red wines dark in color and dense in concentration and white
wines with varietal character and bright vibrancy.
VINEYARD NOTES
Columbia Valley vineyards lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains and receive
just 6-8 inches of rainfall annually.
Warm, sunny days and cool evenings create ideal conditions for aroma and flavor
development in the ripening grapes.
WINEMAKING NOTES
The fruit was de-stemmed and crushed before undergoing 6-8 day fermentations.•
After primary fermentation, the wine was racked to undergo malolactic fermentation on
American oak.
Wine was aged with lightly toasted French and American oak so that it wouldn't
overpower the grapes.
TASTING NOTES
This Merlot opens with aromas of blueberry, subtle spice and rose petals with hints of cocoa.
Balanced in style, this wine is structured yet lively.
