Greg Koenig planted his own vineyard on the Sunnyslope in 1996, but he relies on three longtime friends/neighbors for this blend of Williamson (66%), Bitner (17%) and Hells Canyon. Beautiful floral notes of sage, lilac and lavender are joined by blackberry, blueberry, vanilla bean and black pepper. There’s a delicious approach of purple fruit flavors with blackberry, plum and ripe blueberry, backed by Earl Grey tea tannins, moist earth and graphite. On the finish comes a bite of black olive.
