Winemaking notes
100% Syrah from Royal Slope Production: 1.8 tons per acre, native yeast, 100% whole cluster fermentation, 51 days on skins | 60% new French oak puncheons, 28 months barrel-aged on lees
Viticultural notes
Stoneridge Vineyard (100%) Alluvial fan gravel bed, the site rests above the flood plain of the Columbia River. Under the topsoil is a layer of caliche and basalt 6-12” deep, creating a calcium and iron rich media that forces roots to struggle.
Tasting notes
The quintessential Royal City. Dark and complex. Black cherry, black currant, black coffee. Cardamon and wet rock. Subtly layered with velvet tension. Thyme, anise, cured meats, and black tea complete things.
