blackwood canyon • red mountain ava 2024
Planted in 1983, these 40+ year old vines grow on Red Mountain's coveted southwest-facing slope in volcanic silt loam soils.

Dark, inky, nearly opaque. Blackberry preserves, dark plum, and cassis open the nose, deepening into espresso, raw cacao, and dark chocolate. Boutès adds baking spice and warmth; Taransaud brings cedar, tobacco, and austere mineral structure. On the palate — dense, concentrated, with substantial purposeful tannins and a long mineral finish built for decades of development.

Fractured basalt, Ice Age silt loam, six inches of annual rainfall, and low fertility force vines into natural stress that concentrates flavor to an exceptional degree.
Columbia River proximity delivers rapid evening cooling that locks in natural acidity. Petite Sirah thrives here because it demands what this site delivers: heat to ripen fully, poor soils to concentrate, and cool nights to keep powerful uit honest.
