Notes | |||
"The 2017 Flood line hails from two distinct sites in the Eola-Amity Hills - Valin-Morrissey and Bois-Joli. Valin-Morrissey was originally a land lease, Rex Hill Vineyards paid to develop this property. Years later when they started cutting away properties, Valin-Morrissey was the last on the chopping block. We thought it was crazy to let such an incredible site go and pounced on it, farming it collaboratively and sustainably. Bois-Joli is owned by the Bond family perched up high on the west (amity) side of the hills and is farmed sustainably using uncertified bio/organic preparations and sheep!" —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Deep brilliant red. Mineral-driven raspberry, cherry and potpourri aromas show very good clarity and pick up hints of cola and Asian spices with air. Palate-staining, sappy red fruit and spicecake flavors are given lift and spine by a core of juicy acidity. Densely packed but lithe in style, finishing very long and spicy, with smooth tannins lending gentle grip. (30% whole clusters and 40% new French oak)" —Vinous |
