Blend: 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Franc
Winery Notes: "This wine is designed to showcase the world-class Merlot and Cabernet-Franc grapes of the Yakima Valley. The fruit is from several small vineyards from the cooler western end of the region, where the long days of sunshine and moderate temperatures in the evening conspire to produce lush aromatic grapes with lovely acidity and low ph. This Yakima Valley Red is truly graceful with supple and balanced soft tanins. The polished and generous mouthfeel, unfolds with beautifully focused cherry and plum fruit at the core. This is a superlative rendition of one of our signature wines."
