2022 Upsidedown Wines Roussanne Extended | Red Mountain + Yakima Valley Washington 750ml

This is our first extended Roussanne we have bottled as we continue to explore our Roussanne at WeatherEye Vineyards on Red Mountain. This site is warm and brings a big fruit profile to Roussanne along with thick skins and structure. Showing that the combination of new French Oak and more time in barrel can be handled. After a four-day cold soak on skins the WeatherEye Roussanne goes to press and directly to barrel. Amplifying aromatics and body. Pushing this site to a bigger style of Roussanne that takes charge.
The Konnowac Vineyards sits in a bowl trapping the cold air run off of Elephant Mountain in Northern Yakima Valley. The Roussanne her retains acid beautifully into the fall. We put this portion into terra cotta egg to retain energy before moving to barrel for 10 more months. l 56 cases produced. 100% Roussanne - 65% WeatherEye - 35% Konnowac | Upsidedown Wines

Stored for 22 months in French oak as well as concrete eggs, this was mainly sourced from the WeatherEye Vineyard. Salted Macadamia nut, lychee and pink grapefruit blossom all mark the nose alongside rich peach. The palate is deep and unctuous with a serious texture and flavor density. Gorgeous now, enjoy over the next eight plus years. | 95 points, Owen Bargreen
