2018 :Nota Bene Arianses II - Arianses Vineyard : Wahluke Slope

We have only one row of each of these varietals at Arianses Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope. We pick both rows together for a field blend that is fermented as one lot. We note the weights of each and use this in our Arianses Vineyard blend. We were pleasantly surprised to have two extra barrels of this wine from an abundant vintage, and were so taken with the results, that we created a new label for this soft and elegant wine.
