Our first sustainably certified wine is 100% Syrah from Dineen Vineyard near Zillah in the Yakima Valley. Bright aromas of raspberry, red currant, chestnuts, eucalyptus, olive, northwest forest floor and fig lead into flavors of dried cranberry, Bing cherry, pie cherry, raspberry, and cassis. The finish is long and juicy with hints of leather.

Vineyard Notes
Dineen Vineyard was developed in 2001 on a south-facing gentle slope near Zillah in the Rattlesnake Ridge and Yakima Valley AVAs. The 75 planted acres sit at 1050-1140 feet above sea level. In 2020, Dineen Vineyard became a certified sustainable vineyard under RULES for Sustainable Winegrowing--a holistic approach to farm management through the adoption of over 100 sustainability practices in six areas.
Production Notes
Our grapes were hand sorted and mechanically destemmed into a small bin for a two day cold soak to bring out flavors and color. Yeast and nutrients were added to start an 8 day active fermentation followed by an 8 day extended maceration on the skins. The “free run” wine was pumped into barrels and the remaining skins were gently pressed to extract remaining wine into the barrels. The wine then went through a malolactic fermentation which softens the wine.
Food Pairing Notes
Pairs with gyros, pozole, and pork butt.
