The Art Den Hoed Vineyard spans 250 acres across the southern slope of the Rattlesnake Mountains, in the Yakima Valley AVA. First planted in 1978, the vineyard lies at 1,300 feet in elevation. This gorgeous bottling has aromas of blueberry, blackberry, black olive and wet rock. There are flavors of blueberry compote, red cherry, pomegranate seed and suggestions of mocha. The texture and mouthfeel is polished and generous. This is an esteemed and exquisite bottling by head winemaker Aryn Morrell, who brings his trademark minerality to this Syrah.
