The Walls
After a successful stint as winemaker at Napa Valley’s Bryant Family Vineyards, Todd Alexander came to Washington State to take the reins at Force Majeure. The portfolio includes wines from Walla Walla Valley and the SJR vineyard from The Rocks District. Next came Holocene wines, where Alexander showed his talents with Pinot Noir sourced from the Willamette Valley and a Syrah from the River Rock Vineyard in The Rocks District. These are deep and sensual styles of the varieties, with stimulating acidity to balance. Alexander, then, went on board at PÁŠXA wines, focusing on The Rocks District, with an earthy, funky, and deep selection of Syrah and Grenache. Add to that the “White Rock Garden Estate,” a blend of 55% Marsanne and 45% Roussanne, and this property is a Rhône lover's dream. The next big challenge for Todd Alexander came from WeatherEye Vineyard. This highly experimental site is located across the ridgeline of Red Mountain, conceived, planted and managed by Ryan Johnson. Producers from all across Washington are keeping an eye on what’s being produced here. Today, the portfolio is focused on Rhône varieties, mostly in pure form, except the l'Atomique, a white blend of 47% Viognier, 21% Roussanne, 21% Grenache Blanc and 11% Clairette. From what I tasted, there’s good reason to be excited about the future here. During my last tasting with Alexander he told me that he had also taken on the role of winemaker at The Walls, a property that sources fruit from throughout Washington State and The Rocks District. Todd Alexander has shown that he can fully juggle several high-performing projects throughout Washington State. I guess the big question is, what’s next?
