2018 Lower East 'The Bowery' Columbia Valley

Wine Details
The 2018 Bowery is a blend of 46% Carignan, 29% Mourvedre, 15% Grenache, and 10% Syrah. The Olsen fruit is all about freshness and aromatics. An addition of Alder Ridge Mourvedre brings some depth and structure to the wine. It was fermented 75% whole cluster with native yeasts and aged in predominately neutral 500-liter puncheons and small barrels.

Vineyard Notes
Walla Walla lies in the lower east corner of Washington state. We created Lower East to thank our customers and industry friends. Our goal was to make a fantastic Rhone blend at a fantastic price. Olsen Vineyard is a tour de force for Southern Rhone varieties. While Olsen sits in the line of sight of Red Mountain, the vineyard is a bit cooler, allowing for additional hang time. When I think of the wines we have made from the vineyard, it astounds me - Third Man, L'Idiot Mourvedre, and countless wine club exclusive offerings. Each vintage, we find something above and beyond. We dedicated some of this amazing fruit to a new wine in the Lower East line-up, 'The Bowery.'

Tasting Notes
Right out of the glass with aromas of black cherry, boysenberry, and raspberry jam. Meaty flavors of seared flank steak, black and green peppercorns, and dried Provencal herbs. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and juicy. Soft and approachable with a long-lasting finish. Very approachable and will be versatile with food.

[...] the 2018 Lower East The Bowery has a magenta core and offers a ripe and dusty frame of red cherry, wild strawberry and rocky earth essence beneath high-toned red florals and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is fresh and fleshy with a bright mineral tension and fine-grained tannins, revealing depth and complexity before gliding to a bright, succulent finish. It's a fantastic and crushable wine that delivers pleasure at a great price.
