From winery: Ex Umbris' is Latin for 'out of the shadows'. The Syrah for this wine comes from several sites. Fruit from Mike Sauer's //Red Willow Vineyard//, Art DenHoed's //Erickson Road Vineyard//, and Bruce Morford's //Slide Mountain Vineyard// each 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 warmer temperatures of the 2008 vintage yielded beautifully ripe, rich fruit from the Columbia and Yakima Valley. The current vintage exhibits all the fragrance, texture, and deep plum characteristics of great Syrah.
