The Lady Hill program, led by fifth-generation Willamette Valley farmer Jerry Owen, continues to develop fascinating subsets, and the Procedo tier includes a Super-Tuscan approach that often spotlights historic Red Willow Vineyard in the Yakima Valley. This blend of Sangiovese (67%) with Merlot signals the winemaking transition from Erik Brasher to Dan Duryee, who came to Lady Hill in 2016 from Italian-inspired Cana’s Feast. The Sangio shines from start to finish, bringing a stream of red currant and boysenberry with a backbone of age-worthy cherry-skin tannins. Award: San Francisco Chronicle (gold).
