The Wine

Black Walnut has soils composed entirely of red basalt "alterite" which supports wine that is sweet and round from the taste of fresh berries and cherries. At first glance, the soil in Black Walnut seems like deep red topsoil, but a closer examination of the “articulated” area of the vineyard reveals 100 percent oxidized volcanic rock weathered to such a degree that it is on the cusp of becoming, but not yet, soil. The Black Walnut Articulate is .96 acres within 10 acres of planted ground near the crest of the Dundee Hills.
