The 2015 vintage in Washington state was the hottest to date, yet mild conditions near harvest left us with wines that exhibited both power and elegance. Inspired by some of Australia's most famous blends, we combined soft, lush Syrah with firmly structured Cabernet Sauvignon and aromatic Cabernet Franc. This dark, deep wine was aged in American oak barrels for rich tannins and structure, French barrels for enticing vanilla, and special hybrid barrels with alternating French and American oak staves for hints of clove and spice. Big and boisterous, yet soft and silky, our artistic blend of 52% Syrah, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 19% Cabernet Franc has flavors of dark cherry, mulled plum, and cocoa nib.
