The 2010 growing season was the coolest since 1999. While a warm spell in August helped push

ripening along, our harvest was still delayed up to two weeks later than normal. The mild

temperatures ensured great structure in all of our white wines.

All of the fruit for our 2010 Insania came from the Klipsun Vineyard in the small Red Mountain

appellation. Located in the eastern reaches of the Yakima Valley, the Red Mountain region offers

low rainfall and large diurnal temperature shifts. This desert-like climate produces intensely

flavored Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.

After whole cluster pressing both the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon we let the juice settle before

inoculation. Both varieties were barrel fermented in 1, 2 & 3 year old French Oak to add depth to

the wine. We also put a portion of the Semillon through malolactic to soften the palate.

Our 2010 is crisp, vibrant and intense. It delivers heady aromas and flavors reminiscent of

pineapple, apricot, pear, star fruit and citrus. Serve on its own before dinner or pair it with

creamy cheeses, grilled sea bass or rotisserie chicken.

Insania is a collaboration between Geoff Tate of Queensryche and Holly Turner of Three

Rivers Winery.
