THE WINE: �e North by Northwest Rosé comes from the Columbia Valley AVA, primarily �e Benches, located in the Eastern corner of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA in the Wallula Gap.

Our �rst bottling of North by Northwest Rosé, the 2014 vintage is a thoughtfully crafted blend of lush red wines and aromatic white wines. Soft, full fruit �avors of strawberry and watermelon give way to a crisp, bright acidity. A balanced wine with an ample and refreshing �nish, this Rosé pairs wonderfully with food and is equally enjoyable on its own. THE PROCESS: After meticulous hand sorting, fruit selected for the 2014 Rosé underwent �ltered fermentation and 100% stainless steel sur lie aging for two months prior to bottling.

THE VINTAGE: Following on the heels of a cold winter, early spring was very wet with double our typical precipitation in March. Rapidly warming temperatures in April led to buds breaking almost a week early – these favorable conditions continued, leading to very strong fruit set after a mid-June bloom. �e abundance of fruit allowed for meticulous hand thinning; only the fruit meeting stringent quality parameters were allowed to ripen. Excellent weather continued throughout the summer, leading to a warmer than average vintage and resulted in excellent ripening conditions. Moving into late summer/early fall the grape clusters were in outstanding condition which combined with unusually dry conditions allowed for extended hang time and enhanced �avor development. �e extended harvest period enabled each vineyard to be harvested at peak ripeness resulting in a crop of fantastic quality.
