Requiem Red Blend 2020

Requiem Red is a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Merlot from four sites in the Columbia Valley, mostly the Yakima Valley AVA. Yakima Valley is the state’s oldest AVA (in fact, the first federally recognized area in the Pacific Northwest), and is home to some of Washington’s most storied and historic vineyards. It also is the largest sub-appellation of the Columbia Valley, both in total size and planted acreage, with the valley home to over one quarter of Washington’s total grape vine acreage.

Lots of velvety black fruit flavor, primarily blackcurrant, dark cherries, brair patch fruits, blueberry jam, licorice and dark chocolate.   Robust, spicy with well balanced tannins.  This is a great companion with gilled vegetables, pizza, pastas and barbeque.
