Analemma 'En Vaso' Red Blend

As you may know, the Columbia Gorge is one of Chris' favorite places on earth because it has everything he loves - sailing, mountain biking, hiking, and most importantly amazing wine. Analemma is on the Oregon side of the river just outside the town of Mosier and is planted on an old cherry farm, which, by the way, they still grow and you can go pick your own and have a glass of wine when it’s harvest time. Everything is grown biodynamically, including the cherries, and they have gravitated more and more to Iberian varieties. While many people associate Grenache with the Rhône, it actually hails from Spain and - as you also may know about me - the variety is perhaps my favorite red in all the land. With this wine, the winemaker Steven has blended in another Iberian variety from the northwest called Mencía to bring a little more structure and savory elements to the fruit-laden Garnacha.

We love it with… PNW salmon, grilled corn, summer snap pea salads
