2017 Métier
COLUMBIA VALLEY AVA
This vintage presents a nose full of exceptional garrigue aromas: wild rosemary, thyme and lavender, with floral notes of wild berries and light wood smoke. Initially very tightly wound on the palate, with delicate juniper and strawberry leaf flavors, the wine is carried well by medium weight acidity and pleasantly grippy tannin. With time and air, the wine unfolds brilliantly, presenting pleasantly refreshing fruit flavors of plum, wild blackberries and fig.

Wine Profile
Production
Nowhere is the craft (métier) of blending wine more evident than in our own Métier, a wine mirrored after traditional Southern Rhone-style blends. This wine combines old-world characteristics with the focus and ripe terroir of Yakima Valley. In the true spirit of its namesake, our goal in crafting Métier is for the expression of each varietal to be elevated within the blend. First vintage 2005.
