The Wine
{Pronounced Cush-len} Our take on a Chateauneuf du Pape style blend, the name is a Gaelic translation of "Castle of the Pope." This vineyard-specific blend is sourced entirely from Boushey Vineyard.
The Vineyard
28% Sryrah – Boushey Vineyard - Yakima Valley
25% Grenache Noir - Boushey Vineyard - Yakima Valley
25% Mourvèdre – Boushey Vineyard - Yakima Valley
11% Counoise - Boushey Vineyard - Yakima Valley
11% Cinsaut - Boushey Vineyard - Yakima Valley
The Winemaking
The Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre were fermented whole cluster (no destemming or crushing). All other varieties were destemmed and fermented whole berry. All wines were aged in neutral French oak barrels.
Food Pairings
Pair with beef bourguignon, roast lamb or gilled vegetables.
