William quotes, “Ron Bitner, who has been making wine in Idaho’s high, dry Snake River Valley for 40 years, sees an important and promising transition looming as an earlier generation of farmer winemakers yields to a newer, more formally trained generation of enologists. He’s particularly bullish on Idaho: “We are making quality wines most years because we have great hang times that allow the grapes to develop great fruit forward flavors with well-balanced acidity.”
Bitner, with a PhD in entomology, owns the only Idaho vineyards certified LIVE (Low Input Vineyard and Enology), but hails an emerging cohort of winemakers philosophically attuned to that approach. We always love his Terrosa syrah-led blend. The 2015 vintage has beautiful fruit and verve.
