Staff Pick Notes

This is a wine from Columbia Valley in Washington State made from Grenache, Mourvedre, Cinsault and the less known Counoise grape. Columbia Valley is a large wine region that receives about three hundreds days of sunshine a year, more then many other wine regions in the West Coast. The region is famous for producing bold fruity red wines and Sonder wines are no exception! The grapes are picked at the same time and fermented in the same vessel. The grapes grow organically and minimal interventions is practiced in the vineyard and in the winery. You can enjoy aromas of watermelon and strawberry and flavors of strawberries, followed by herbal notes and a touch of minerality and earthiness. A simple delicious wine!

The practice of adding Viognier to Syrah began as a way of taming the very ripe, tannic reds of the hot Côte Rôtie ("roasted slope"), but it produced such incredible results that other countries, most notably Australia, have followed...
