Two Vintner's Grenache
Availability:24 In Stock
90% Grenache, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot
Our Columbia Valley Grenache hails from Boushey, Olsen, Weather Eye, and Dineen vineyards in the Columbia Valley. With a great combination of darker red fruits, pepper, and a slight smoky tinge, this wine shows the potential of Washington Grenache. Native yeast and 30% whole cluster fermentation. Aged in 30% new French oak for 18 months.
During Morgan’s second vintage as assistant winemaker for Covington Cellars, he asked if he could produce a Merlot and Syrah, as the Lawson’s did not have those in their Covington portfolio.
Their response was that those varietals did not fit with the Covington Cellars story, but they would happily invest in Morgan starting his own brand where he could have full artistic control.
Thus, Two Vintners was born in 2007.
Grenache is fickle, and often referred to as ‘The Pinot Noir of
Washington.’ It’s late to ripen, has tight clusters that ripen unevenly, andcan be very susceptible to a host of vineyard issues. As difficult
personalities go, there is undeniable beauty and intrigue in Grenache.
The name Two Vintners came from the collaboration between Morgan and David and Cindy Lawson. The brand launched when Morgan was 29 years old and had no winemaking education.
