The 2010 growing season was the coolest since 1999. While a warm spell in August helped push
ripening along, our harvest was still delayed up to two weeks later than normal. The mild
temperatures ensured great structure in all of our white wines.

All of the fruit for our 2010 Insania came from the Klipsun Vineyard in the small Red Mountain
appellation. Located in the eastern reaches of the Yakima Valley, the Red Mountain region offers
low rainfall and large diurnal temperature shifts. This desert-like climate produces intensely
flavored Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
After whole cluster pressing both the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon we let the juice settle before
inoculation. Both varieties were barrel fermented in 1, 2 & 3 year old French Oak to add depth to
the wine. We also put a portion of the Semillon through malolactic to soften the palate.
Our 2010 is crisp, vibrant and intense. It delivers heady aromas and flavors reminiscent of
pineapple, apricot, pear, star fruit and citrus. Serve on its own before dinner or pair it with
creamy cheeses, grilled sea bass or rotisserie chicken.
Insania is a collaboration between Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Holly Turner of Three
Rivers Winery.
