Anthony Buchanan 2024 Petit Sirah Pacific Northwest Series
American Red
Blackberry, raspberry and loganberry appear with blackberry-skin tang. Whole clusters underwent partial carbonic maceration and were foot-trodden, with pressing after seven days. Fermentation took place in puncheon and amphora. The wine spent five months in a mix of forty percent amphora, forty percent puncheon and twenty percent third-fill Hungarian oak. The fruit comes from Zillah Vineyard in Washington's Rattlesnake Hills.
Code Wines 2024 Chardonnay Grower Series
American White
Fruit grown in Washington's Rattlesnake Hills was vinified at Okanagan Falls. Primary fermentation used Burgundian yeast in stainless steel between 16 and 20°C. Half remained in stainless steel with malolactic fermentation blocked; the other half moved to new and neutral French oak and completed malolactic fermentation. The wine was lightly fined and filtered before bottling. Production totalled 200 cases, with 13.5% alcohol.
