Columbia Gorge

Medium

Agglomerated Cork

This is a deeply flavourful wine with dark red currants and loamy earth, fragrant with pressed violets. Its mineral-rich intensity calls to mind iron or slate. The tannins are firm, yet inviting, scented with black tea notes, and the finish is long with zesty, perked-up acid tension. Kris Fade and Steve Thompson began farming the Atavus Vineyard, one of the oldest vineyards in the Pacific Northwest, in 2011. Meanwhile, they planted the Mosier Hills site and launched Analemma in 2015. The diverse site is farmed biodynamically, and it's planted with fruit trees as well. The grapes were destemmed and fermented in 1.5-ton stainless steel bins, with the wine aged on its lees for 7 months in neutral oak.
