About Gård Vintners
Named as a tribute to the family’s Scandinavian heritage, Gård and The Lawrence Family has been expressing the beauty of the Columbia Valley in their wines since 2006. From their vineyards on the Royal Slope, to Walla Walla where the wine itself is produced, to their three tasting rooms in Woodinville, Walla Walla, and Ellensburg, Gård is an award-winning and value-driven representative of Washington’s wine producers. With winemaker Aryn Morell rounding out the team in 2011, the Lawrence family and Morell have shared management of the wine production ever since.

Gårdians of Asgård

TASTING NOTES:
Cabernet - “Smoldering black tea, black currants, cassis, raspberry puree and vanilla bean. Swirling adds ripe plum skin, caramelized strawberry and a hint of savory herbs. The palate is round and generous with plush textures and fine supporting tannins. Layers of ripe red and black fruits carry this into a long beautiful finish.” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.6)

Syrah - “Intense floral blue fruits, hardwood smoke, bacon fat and garrigue. Swirling brings up plum, blueberry and blackberry compote with black pepper and spicy charcuterie. The palate is dense with sweet and smoky fruit, silky tannins and a bright lifted finish. An uncompromising Syrah.” (AbV 14.9%, pH 3.85)

BARRELS:
Cabernet - 26 months in French oak, 100% new.

Syrah - 20 months in French oak, 75% new.
