gourmet pairings
Pairs well with grilled meats
such as filet mignon and
ribeye steaks.
tasting notes
With a vibrant, deep ruby color, this wine is bursting with aromas
of ripe blackberry, raspberry, and plum. Fresh fruit aromas
are balanced by dark cocoa, vanilla, and baking spices. It's
a medium-bodied, fruit-forward wine that has fine, powdery
tannins and integrated oak.
winemaker's insight
All grapes are hand harvested from our Estate Riverbend
Vineyard located in the heart of the Wahluke Slope AVA.
Once at the winery, the clusters are hand sorted before being
destemmed and gently crushed into small one-ton fermenters.
The must is cold-soaked overnight and inoculated the following
day with selected yeast strains. Twice a day, the must is checked
and punched-down to ensure proper extraction. When nearly
dry, the free-run wine is transferred directly into oak barrels.
