Tasting Notes
Both appellations are very distinct but equally complimentary: Red Mountain produces big wines which are highly structured with firm tannins whereas Del Rio Vineyard yields wines that are very fragrant, plush and softer in texture. By combining the two we have achieved a wine that is rich, vibrant, and uniquely Northwest. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and vanilla are complimented with notes of cocoa, brown sugar, and cigarbox. Black cherry, boysenberry, and cassis flavors dominate the pallet accompanied by nuance of choke cherry and chicory root. This dark, inky wine exhibits a sweet entry, balanced by soft acids and supported by focused tannins, giving the impression of an intensely ripe wine with a lingering richness.
