Top Notes For
Tom Casagrande

It’s got more M than G or S, and is Columbia Valley, not Walla Walla AVA, but it’s terrific nonetheless. It’s clearly got Walla Walla fruit in abundance though, because it’s showing that inimitable combo of intense savory minerality and plush high pH mouthfeel. Smoky and stony and iodiney on the nose, with mouthcoating savory clingy flavors. Finish goes on and on. The fruit for this wine is donated by several Washington State growers so the proceeds from the sale of the wine can support a free health clinic that, in large part, benefits vineyard workers. Great idea! Great people!
