2016 Three Rivers Streamlet Red, Columbia Valley
Winemaker Notes
2016 is the inaugural vintage of our Streamlet red blend. This is a
vibrant wine with sweet aromas of freshly picked blueberries and
cherries. Dark fruit swirls on the palate with accents of cedar that
fills the palate. Firm tannins linger on the finish and add
structure to this bold wine.

Production Notes
2016 started out with above average temperatures reaching record
heat in April. This jumpstarted our growing season and resulted
in an earlier bloom than in 2015. Cooler June and July months
slowed things down, allowing us to catch up in the vineyard.
Temperatures heated back up in August and the grapes were
harvested from September 12 – September 27, 2016.
