Tasting Notes: This Red Blend is bold and balanced, with Syrah leading the way. Dark fruit flavors of blackberry, plum, and blueberry mingle with hints of black pepper, leather, and subtle oak. The tannins are smooth, and the wine has a structured yet velvety texture. A touch of mocha and spice adds complexity, culminating in a lingering finish. A harmonious and approachable wine with excellent depth. Pair with hard aged cheeses, grilled meats, or a hearty mushroom risotto.
Winemaker Notes: The 2023 harvest was influenced by a cool start to the season and longer hang times, leading to excellent acidity and balance for Columbia Valley reds..
