The wine region of Snake River Valley
Idaho's first AVA, extending into eastern Oregon, with high-altitude vineyards (760-915 m) in the Rockies. Strong day-night thermal swings. Signature Syrah at Rhône latitude: elegant and fresh with signature notes of blackberry, black cherry, black pepper, violet, black olive and a spicy touch, firm tannins — a finely chiselled cool-climate style. Solar Grenache and Mourvèdre, firm Cabernet, approachable Tempranillo.
The wine region of Idaho
Pacific Northwest American state, pioneer vineyard since 1860, modern renaissance at Snake River Valley AVA (since 2007). High-altitude desert climate, hot days and cool nights, Rhodanian latitude. Riesling the white signature: tense and precise with lime, green apple, white peach, white flowers and mineral touch, lively acidity. Peppery Syrah (blackberry, bacon, violet), supple Tempranillo (cherry, tobacco) — Basque heritage.
The word of the wine: Bitter (flavor)
A flavour generally provided in wines by polyphenols and accompanied by a sensation of pungency. In small quantities, bitterness makes you salivate, gives relief to the wine and reinforces its sapidity.
