Product Overview
Distributor's Notes
"The wine presents a harmonious balance of fruit and minerality, with a lively, salivating finish. Notes of hoisin sauce offer a hint of sweetness and umami, complemented by a touch of lilac and vibrant purple fruit tones. On the palate, you’ll find ripe pomegranate, dried orange peel, and bright cherry. Subtle notes of black pepper and a mineral edge from the Rocks District add depth. Overall, the 2021 Mahana is a testament to a vintage where fruit is at the forefront. Its approachability and nuanced flavor profile make it a versatile choice for various pairings and occasions."
Varietal Composition: 73% Syrah, 27% Grenache
Appellation: The Rocks District AVA**, Walla Walla Valley (Oregon side)

**Note: Due to appellation law in the USA, Washington wineries that source fruit from The Rocks District AVA but do not finish the wine within the state of Oregon are not allowed to use The Rocks District AVA. Instead, they are using the Walla Walla Valley AVA (which spans the Columbia River from Washington into Oregon, and of which The Rocks District AVA is a sub-appellation).
94 Points - Wine Spectator
"Deeply structured but polished, with detailed blackberry and blueberry flavors that are laced with tapenade, smoked meat and cracked pepper tones that end with refined tannins. Syrah and Grenache. Drink now through 2033. 375 cases made." -TF, 12/15/24
