Wine Review: This pitch black colored blend from Washington State is a very good value. It opens with an attractive blueberry and boysenberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and juicy. The flavor profile is a coffee and blueberry blend with notes of oak. I also detected hints of plum and faint chocolate covered cherry at the very end. The finish is dry and its moderate soft tannins linger and last for quite some time. This Syrah based blend is very food friendly and would pair nicely with beef bourguignon. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This lively red blend presents rose petal aromas and dark fruit cherry flavors, followed by smooth tannins that lead in to a vibrant finish. Foods with complex flavors match this red blends. Pepper steak, stews and strong cheeses such as blue cheese and stilton, are great pairings.
