2008 Subduction Red
Subtotal: $0.00
About This Wine:
Long inspired by the wines of the Southern Rhone Valley, this is our answer to a Washington version of a Cotes-du-Rhone Villages wine. Ripe and hedonistic, this wine displays vivid ruby color with varying degrees of purple black. This is a blend of classic southern French varieties that are unique and expressive on their own; yet each contributes to create a harmonious whole. Bold and seductive, this wine exhibits ripe raspberry, violet and game aromas, with juicy plum flavors. The bright, supple finish and pleasing fruit-filled mouthfeel make Subduction Red adaptable to many foods and occasions.

Vineyard Notes:
This wine is more an exploration of the Columbia Valley than a representation of any one varietal or vineyard. The grapes all come from throughout the Columbia Valley from vineyards with which we have long term contracts. Syrah is sourced from our two vineyard designated sites, while the Grenache is sourced from the Wahluke Slope, Horse Heaven and Columbia Gorge. Mourvedre is planted to a remarkable hillside in the Horse Heaven Hills. Cinsault and Counoise and Carignan are from Horse Heaven and Columbia Gorge. What is important for us lies in what each site contributes to the overall blend.
