Washington State Cuvee

Washington State Cuvee Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: We have produced cuvee? (special blend) since 1996 and customers clamor for these savory blends. There are seven vineyards and five grape varietals in this lovely mixture. Merlot (55%) from Goose Ridge, Killian and Spring Creek Vineyards dominates this rich cuvee?. It also contains 25% Cabernet Sauvignon from Cold Creek, Goose Ridge and Dwelley Jones Vineyards. We added 10% Cabernet Franc from Cold Creek and Kendall Vineyards, and finished with a bit of Syrah (7.5%) from Goose Ridge Vineyard and Malbec (2.5%) from Snipes Canyon Vineyard. This cuvee? starts with a vanilla bean nose followed by a touch of spice box, cigar and berry jam with an astonishing, lengthy finish of dried fruit and creamy milk chocolate. The 2004 Cuvee goes nicely with grilled veal chops dressed in fresh salted garlic, aged balsamic vinegar, virgin olive oil, and fresh ground pepper served with sides of sautéed mushrooms and grated zucchini with cream and basil pesto.
