  Retail $20. 33% Syrah, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 3% Mourvèdre, 2% Grenache, 2% Counoise, 2% Sangiovese, 2% Petit Verdot. Wow. Nine. Count 'em *nine* varieties here and I am fairly certain that *has* to be a record for any wine I have tried (but I am equally sure it's not--but it's up there). Another peculiarity? I sampled the 2018 several months ago ahead of this 2017 (long story). My feelings about this wine mirror fairly closer its slightly younger sibling: great fruit, wonderful tartness, balance, depth. All of that for under twenty bucks? You must be joking. Seriously. Joking.

  Easy everyday quaffable WA red blend. Fruit forward with medium body and tannins. Nice QPR for this crowd pleaser. Consistent year after year.

  Medium ruby – grape jelly, black cherry, black currant, blueberry, vanilla, earth, spice box. Medium+ acid, medium+ tannins, 13.8% ABV, medium body, medium+ intensity, medium finish. A consistent performer with a great QPR. Paired nicely with orange and coriander smoked chicken sausages.
