“This project took root in the Columbia Gorge with acclaimed wine-country geologist Alan Busacca and has grown via collaborations with storied winemakers Rich Cushman (Oregon) and Joshua Maloney (Washington) and Midwest entrepreneurs Steve and Nikki Bruere. Their delicious Cushman-crafted Syrah from this scenic site near the confluence of the Deschutes and Columbia rivers should help with Capital Call’s plans for first-hand experiences in the Walla Walla Valley, where they also have young Wheatfield Vines Vineyard. This Syrah is laced with dried black cherries and black licorice and five spice powder inside a savory, smoky and bold structure.”
