Wine Tasting: $20
Barnard Griffin, Albarino Columbia Valley, Washington $21
This wine has marvelous aromatics, with crisp acidity and a surprisingly rich finish. This racy white impresses with tantalizing notes of dried lemon, apple and pineapple. Offers amazing depth on the palate complimented by driven, focused acidity. A beautiful rendition of Washington Albariño.
Mark Ryan, BTR Red Blend Columbia Valley, Washington $17
The second vintage of Speed Racer Red opens with enticing aromas of black cherry, plum, and chocolate with a hint of spice box. On the palate, juicy flavors of ripe blueberry and black raspberry are framed by bright acidity and a sophisticated structure. 40% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot.
Watermill, Red Blend Walla Walla, Washington $30
Bright and fruity on both the nose and the palate. Red and black fruit blend with brown sugar and baking spices to make a wine that infinitely drinkable either on its own or with heavier fare.
40% Merlot, 22.5% Malbec, 22.5% Petit Verdot, 5% Carmenere, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
Thick Skinned, Red Blend Red Mountain, Washington $41
A big wine is packed in to this bottle. Vanilla, raspberry cordial, cherry dust and licorice aromas lead to flavors that start out reserved, dipping in the middle, with the concentration seeming lacking. Bunched tannins back it up. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
