2024 J. Bookwalter red blend "prefix" Columbia Valley

The 2024 growing season offered a balance of steady development and well-timed warmth. A warm early spring led to near-average budbreak, followed by a cooler period that allowed for slow, even vine growth.

A late-summer heatwave helped drive ripening forward, resulting in fruit with excellent structure, vibrant flavors, and natural balance.

Sourced from a collection of respected vineyards across the Columbia Valley, this blend is designed to highlight both regional character and stylistic balance.

Fermented on skins to build color and structure, the wine is aged across a combination of stainless steel, oak barrels, and specialized storage vessels. This multi-faceted approach preserves fresh fruit expression while layering in texture and complexity.
