2023 - Gig Harbor Red Blend
Blended from several vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley, this Bordeaux inspired blend uses Cabernet Sauvignon as the foundation and adds Merlot from the warmer Wahluke Slope that adds structure, black fruit and spice with fruit from the cooler Yakima Valley, that brings red fruits and great freshness.
Sultry red and black fruits, plum skin and cocoa powder. Swirling brings up black cherry, bloomed baking spices and crème brulée. The palate is bright, with ripe fruit, soft structure and hints of spice.
