COLUMBIA VALLEY

2020 Artist Series Red Wine

Tasting Notes

The 2020 Artist Series Red Wine is elegant and shows balanced flavors of black cherry and blackberry with notes of violets, baking spice and cedar. The flavors persist with added earthy complexity of silt with a slate finish. The fine-grained tannins will ensure this wine develops nicely over the next 10+ years.
