Prospice is a small artisanal winery based out of Walla Walla, Washington. Their wines captured my attention a few months ago and I’ve been impressed with every bottle since. Their second vintage GSM is elegant and beautiful, and is comprised of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. The nose is both sweet and tart with strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate, and blackberry, but it is especially the earthy, dried floral, and wet clay notes that capture one’s attention. On the body, silky dark fruit takes over with balanced acidity and tannins. I love the mouthfeel and complexity this wine is already showing. Founded in 2017, Prospice has already carved out a name for themselves against a wide range of Washington winemakers. I’m excited to see what the future holds for them. This is a winery you should be keeping your eye on.
