Novelty Hill Royal Slope Red Columbia Valley 2019 750 ML

The nose is filled with fresh blackberry, black currant and dark chocolate notes. On the palate, the wine is packed with black raspberry and vanilla flavors. A concentrated and balanced mid-palate follows into a nice supple finish.\n \n Producer Information\n \n Novelty Hill and Januik are two independent wineries that share a destination tasting room and state-of-the-art winery under the direction of Mike Januik, one of Washington State’s most acclaimed winemakers. The Novelty Hill and Januik partnership began in 2000, shortly after Mike began consulting on the planting of the Alberg family’s Stillwater Creek Vineyard on the Royal Slope of the Frenchman Hills in Washington State’s Columbia Valley. Though an uncharted growing region at the time, Mike liked what the site offered and was intrigued by the Albergs’ interest in planting a diverse selection of clones. He encouraged the family to consider making wine from the site; they agreed, provided Mike serve as winemaker. Novelty Hill was born.
