Product Overview

Winery's Notes
"Washington state’s Royal Slope AVA is defined by a ridge of hills running east to west. The soils are decomposed basalt, rocky and volcanic. The grenache vines I’ve been working with since 2016 at Stillwater Creek were planted in 2004 and are sustainably farmed by Ed Kelly and Dennis Bonilla. This year I started working with a second Royal Slope grenache vineyard farmed by the Lawrence family. Corfu Crossing grenache clone 3 was planted in 2008 and it is managed by Matias Kusulas.

The color is translucent ruby and the nose is full of cranberry, raspberry and pomegranate. There’s a hint of black tea and fennel."

Varietal Composition: 100% Grenache
Appellation: Royal Slope AVA, Columbia Valley
Vineyards: Stillwater Creek and Lawrence Corfu Crossing
Production: 260 cases

90 Points - Vinous
"The 2021 Grenache Royal Slope wafts up from the glass with a mineral-inflected blend of crushed rocks, dried strawberries, brown spice and citrus. It’s soft and enveloping with silky textures and ultra-ripe red and blue fruits motivated by vibrant acidity. This finishes long and staining yet still fresh, ending with rich cherry sauce and dark chocolate. While a bit hedonistic, I can’t argue with the balance here. Well done." -EG, May/2023
