Columbia Valley
2012 Artist Series Red Wine - Full Label
The Artist Series is a very personal statement for me and what I enjoy most about Washington state red wines. It’s the first wine I blend from all of our amazing vineyards in the Columbia Valley as I look for more restraint and complexity with an underlying ballast of Washington state power. The idyllic 2012 vintage in Washington gave me some of our best wines to date to craft this special 20th Artist Series bottling. Our vineyard at Canoe Ridge Estate lent signature elegance from the perfect combination of ripeness and soft tannins. Our Cold Creek vineyard contributed weight, dark fruit and subtle sweetness. This is a beautifully layered, ageable wine and my version of art in a bottle.
