THE WINE
Our 2016 Red Wine blend is a softly layered and balanced wine, showcasing the strength of Bordeaux and Rhone varieties out of Washington’s Columbia Valley. Our fruit for this Red Blend is sourced from the Wahluke Slope and the Art Den Hoed Vineyard in Yakima, which are in the warmest parts of the Columbia Valley. The Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) is the backbone of this blend, it provides excellent structure that comes from older vines, the Syrah (15%) provides color and spice, while the Merlot (15%) brings lots of berry fruits and flesh, which rounds out a complex and layered soft wine. The wine is aged in 15% new French oak barrels with the balance aged in neutral, French casks. We at Disruption feel that Washington wine regions offer incredible fruit expression, density and softness that cannot be matched by any other wine region in the USA at this price point.

"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."

ART
The original artwork that appears on this label is actually a series of columns supporting the I-5 interstate. This otherwise barren piece of infrastructure was brought to life by artist Nathan Watkins and Urban Artworks and can be seen at the underpass of 6th Avenue and  James Street in Seattle. Stop by and capture a photo next time you are in the neighborhood!
