red      wine      2016

Our 2016 Red Wine shows the fervor of Bordeaux and Rhône varieties from Columbia Valley. The fruit is sourced from the Wahluke Slope and the Art Den Hoed vineyards in Yakima; the warmest sites in the Columbia Valley. Aromas of homemade raspberry preserves and spice jump from the glass. Flavors of cooked berries harmonize with plum and rhubarb. Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone, providing structure from older vines. Syrah brings spice and fragrant, high-toned aromas. Merlot provides the berry fruit, rounding out a complex and layered wine. Fifteen percent of the wine is aged in new French oak barrels with the balance in neutral casks.

FOOD PAIRING: This wine is incredibly versatile and can be paired with a number of dishes. We love it with pork tenderloin hot off the grill.

"Impressively complex and brambly fresh berries make for a very attractive nose that leads to a fresh, youthfully upbeat palate with plenty of bright, raspberry-driven fruit flavor. 70% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot and 15% syrah. Drink now. Screw cap."

"A combination of Wahluke Slope and Yakima Valley fruit, this wine is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest equal parts Syrah and Merlot. The aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of black currant, leafy fresh herb, green pepper and plum. The palate packs a punch of fruit flavors with a lovely sense of structure. If you enjoy a little herb in your wine, along with heaping amounts of fruit but also impressive balance, this one is for you."

"A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Malbec, this wine is fresh and fruit filled, with aromas and flavors of plum and black currant, sprinkled with light barrel spices and mocha tones. It shows a lovely sense of balance and poise that kicks it up a notch."

"A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Malbec, the 2014 Red Wine has the Cabernet from younger vines on the Wahluke slope and the Malbec from a cooler terroir in the Yakima Valley. Aged 22 months in 20% new French oak, it’s a delicious, upfront, impressively textured effort that's loaded with notions of red and black currants, peppery spice and underbrush. It's a total charmer that's ideal for drinking over the coming 2-4 years."
