Columbia Valley2022 Artist Series Red Wine - Dilutions
The 2022 Artist Series blend is nuanced, perfumed, and will age for decades. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon balance each other perfectly to offer cassis, black cherry and red currant. The Cabernet Franc rounds out the blend with notes of dried herbs and pepper. The finish is smooth, silky and persistent.Owen Bargreen
