Tasting Notes
A blend of Cabernet from Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills and Syrah from Red Mountain.
Both the cab and syrah saw 26 months in French oak, approximately 50% of which was new. This wine was neither fined nor filtered.
Deep red in color. The wine has a smoky, oaky nose with overtones of charcoal, graphite, cured meats. Hints of blueberry, pomegranate and cherry round out this nose.
The cabernet is currently the dominant flavor and fills the mouth with resinous red fruit flavors prominent but soft tannins while the syrah contributes an earthy character.
The perfect go-to BBQ wine!
