From winery: ‘Ex Umbris’ is Latin for “out of the shadows”. The Syrah for this wine comes from several sites. Fruit from Bruce Morford’s //Slide Mountain Vineyard// and Mike Sauer’s //Red Willow Vineyard//, both located in western Yakima Valley, is balanced by the cooler, smoky //Lewis Vineyard// in The Dalles, and the unctuous fruitiness of //Elerding Vineyard// located in Alderdale, WA. The cooler temperatures of the 2007 Fall helped to preserve great acidity of the fruit from the Columbia and Yakima Valley. The current vintage exhibits all the fragrance, texture, and deep plum characteristics of great Syrah.
