Comprised of Bordeaux varietals grown on select sites in the Columbia Valley this wine is full-bodied and delicious. 88% of the blend is from Merlot grown in the Royal Slope AVA at Frenchman Hills Vineyard — this site is high elevation and contributes bright fruit and natural acidity with the balance of the Merlot much fulller bodied and rich from the Southwind Vineyard in Walla Walla. Cabernet Sauvignon is 6% but overdelivers with plenty of power and tannins from Red Mountain and the Horse Heaven Hills growing areas. The remainder of this approachable red wine is 4% Cabernet Franc from the iconic Red Willow Vineyard in the far west end of Yakima Valley with a spicy 2% Malbec. Bordeaux blends have long enjoyed their share of classic pairings: roast lamb, venison, duck breast or beef-based dishes. This is delicious now but will become even more approachable after a couple more years of cool cellaring.
