This one struttles (yes struttle is a word) in with that unmistakable Washington candy swagger: proud, bold, and absolutely glowing in the middle. The Cabernet is clearly the headliner here, giving the wine its structure, attitude, and that dark-fruit confidence Washington Cab does better. But hold up, this isn’t a one-person show.
The blend brings in Merlot, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, and then, boom, Petite Sirah steps up and absolutely sings. It’s not trying to steal the spotlight, just slipping in those deep, plush notes that lift the whole wine the way a killer harmony takes a good song and makes it unforgettable. The result is a Cab-dominant red that hits with richness, stays bright through the middle, and finishes like it knows exactly who it is: legit, layered, and distinctly Washington. Great with grilled meats, hearty pastas, or any night where you want a wine that doesn’t mumble but instead speaks loud and clear, in full color.
