Producer history and notes...Ryan Crane founded Kerloo Cellars in 2007. Ryan’s path to winemaking began as a volunteer at Animale Cellars. After leaving Animale Cellars, he worked crush with Marie-Eve Gilla at Forgeron Cellars. Marie-Eve is Gilles (Director of Winemaking & Viticulture) Long Shadows wife and who's wines I'll post soon. He ultimately landed an Assistant Winemaker at Va Piano Vineyards for three years. The influence and support from the Washington wine industry like; Gilla, Justin Wylie of Va Piano, and Steve Brooks of Trust Cellars propelled Ryan forward to where he has found himself today owner and Winemaker at Kerloo Cellars. Oh...if you were wondering how they arrived at Kerloo for the name, it's the sound a crane (bird) makes and of course, Ryan's last name is Crane. — 7 years ago

Very dark purple, almost black, medium+ viscosity on the eye. Moves to fuchsia toward rim, no sediment. Nose sees dark, stewed blackberries, cherries, and blue berries, vanilla/oak, some grass, green bell pepper, little bit of funk as well. Palette sees ripe cherries, a very healthy dose of dry tannins. I'd let this one sit a few more years- plenty of life left, but was pretty damn good after being open a few days in the fridge. — 7 years ago
