Tasting Notes:

Dark red color. Aromas of red fruits accented with cocoa, sage and lavender. On the palate, cassis and plum are balanced with moderate oak flavors, which lead to a medium-long finish.

Vineyard Notes:

The most celebrated red wine vineyard in Washington, Red Willow lies in the remote northwestern corner of the Yakima Valley Appellation. Mt. Adams’ 12,000-foot peak and the Cascade foothills rise to the west. This 120 acre vineyard has been developed with sensitivity and a deep respect for soil and slope.

Winemaker Notes:

This wine is notable for the relatively large percentage of Petit Verdot blended into it. 2009 was such a warm and early season that the Petit Verdot ripened beautifully to contribute its delicate fruit and acidity to the wine.

Food Pairing:

Pair with red meats cooked over an open fire pit fueled by oak, mesquite, or hickory. It also pairs well with hard and medium-hard cheeses.
