Canoe ridge vineyard. Est. 1989. Inspired by explorers Lewis & Clark, who, during their 1805 exploration, thought the ridge above the Columbia River resembled an overturned canoe. The fruit for this wine is sourced from the famed Red Mountain AVA, named for its red grasses and renowned for its deeply rooted vines, remarkable soils and exceptionally warm days and cool nights. We'd argue the best exploration of all is discovering the unique quality and flavor of this region. Uncork your expedition and enjoy. Dominated by dark fruit flavors of black currant, cherry and blackberry, with subtle notes of sage and spice. Alc. 14.5% by vol.
