Buona Notte Wines Colli Pinole Syrah 2021

Graham Markel graduated from Naropa University's Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics and got a job at Antica Terra Winery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. For seven years, he worked under Antica Terra’s Maggie Harrison and Hiyu Wine Farm’s Master Sommelier, Nate Ready. He learned many things from those two, but the number one thing I learned was to think deeply about winemaking and how to add beauty to every step of the process. No matter how arduous or tiring, every action must be taken to make the best wine possible. Living at Hiyu Wine Farm in Hood River opened my eyes to the many winemaking possibilities that were on offer in the Columbia Gorge.
