Grosgrain Red Wine Petit Grosgrain Walla Walla Valley 2021 750 ML

We discovered this wonderful estate when we visited Walla Walla Valley in September of 2021. Grosgrain Vineyard is located on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla valley within the SeVein vineyard development. The property, which reaches a south-facing peak of the Vansycle basalt ridge, tops out at 1400 feet, making it one of the higher elevation sites in the Walla Walla Valley. Much of the vineyard features shallow wind-blown loess soils overlying fractured basalt. The 80 acre property began development with the first plantings in 2019. nnThis charming red is made of 53% Grenache, 45% Syrah and 2% Tempranillo from Columbia Valley fruit. Luscious and textured with notes of cherry liqueur, framboise, marjoram and black tea. nn’In 2014, we left our careers as an attorney and fashion designer in California for a new life in the Pacific Northwest. After Matt returned to school to study enology and spent time working with several Washington wineries, we stumbled upon a small vineyard on the Southside of Walla Walla. Planted with uncommon varieties, these 5 acres became Grosgrain Vineyards, a wine company dedicated to championing underdog grapes, sparkling wines, restrained reds and sustainable farming practices.’ -Matt and Kelly Austin
