Force Majeure
Parabellum Coulée 2019
Red Mountain
Made utilizing meticulously farmed grapes from the estate vineyards on Red Mountain and in the Walla Walla Valley, these wines receive the same care and attention in both winemaking and viticulture as the upper-tier Force Majeure wines. The goal with Parabellum is to produce beautiful and approachable wines that are reflective of their varieties and terroir, without constraints on blending. Parabellum provides an opportunity to savor an authentic wine of distinction at a great value.
Vineyard
Most of the fruit comes from the Red Mountain AVA, supplemented by the Walla Walla Valley, all estate managed. Both sites feature high elevation (over 2000 ft in the Walla Walla Valley), steep slopes, and a Basalt bedrock covered by varying depths of loess.
Winemaking
Fermented in concrete from free-run juice. Aged 18 months in 20% large format new French oak. 76% Syrah, 11% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre, 3% Counoise, 3% Cinsault
Tasting Note
“Rocking red and blue fruits, white pepper, leafy herbs, graphite, and crushed stone define the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has terrific purity, plenty of tannins, and a great finish.” – Jeb Dunnuck
