Mettler Family Vineyards Petite Sirah

2022 Estate Grown Petite Sirah

The Mettler Petite Sirah stays true to its varietal heritage with a deep and inky purple color, velvety mouth feel with aromas of dark berries and plum, with hints of pepper and honey on the finish. Well integrated tannins create a bold backdrop for the lush texture that carries the flavors through the lingering finish.

Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso

Valpolicella Ripasso (often called "baby Amarone")

Deep ruby red with garnet hues. The nose is richly expressive, offering a heady mix of ripe black cherry, dried plum, and redcurrant laced with dried herbs, tobacco, and a hint of baking spice. As the wine opens, subtle aromas of leather, dark chocolate, and a touch of black pepper emerge. On the palate, it’s velvety and layered, with a core of juicy dark fruit—blackberry, cherry compote, and fig—supported by well-integrated tannins. The signature ripasso technique adds depth and richness, with flavors of dried fruit, raisins, and a gentle note of licorice. The wine’s bright acidity provides balance, lifting the ripe fruit and keeping the wine fresh and lively. Drink now–2032

Requiem 2020 Red Blend Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Wine

BLEND | 50% Merlot & 50% Syrah

VINEYARDS | Requiem Red is a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Merlot from four sites in the Columbia Valley, mostly the Yakima Valley AVA. Yakima Valley is the state’s oldest AVA (in fact, the first federally recognized area in the Pacific Northwest), and is home to some of Washington’s most storied and historic vineyards. It also is the largest sub-appellation of the Columbia Valley, both in total size and planted acreage, with the valley home to over one quarter of Washington’s total grape vine acreage.

Soils are strongly influenced by the Missoula Floods, which were a series of dramatic cataclysms in prehistoric times. Moderate to deep silt-loam is layered over gravel or directly onto basalt bedrock. This foundation creates well-drained soils that are ideal for irrigated viticulture.The 2020 vintage was a relatively warm, dry year marked by a significantly smaller crop than average. Though in short supply, the grapes were outstanding in quality with small, concentrated berries that benefitted from extended hang time for optimal phenolic ripening and color.

**WINEMAKING |**Fruit was harvested (Merlot in late August/early September and Syrah in late September) and completely destemmed. Vinification stainless steel fermenters followed by elevage in tank - no oak.

TASTING NOTES | This is a sassy blend with swagger - full and juicy with ripe, gushing, velvety black fruit flavors. You may find blackcurrant, dark cherries, brair patch fruits, blueberry jam, liquorice, and dark chocolate - or maybe not. You will find it to be delicious.Robust, spicy and warm, this is a great companion for a workday wind down, roasted dishes at the table, and lively conversation into the wee hours of the night.
