The combined winemaking talent of Michael Corliss, Andrew Trio and Philippe Melka shine brilliantly with this masterful and opulent offering from Walla Walla-based Corliss Estates. The winery maintains an impressive 450-acres of estate-grown vineyards in Red Mountain, Walla Walla Valley and Yakima Valley AVAs.
Nose: Floral aromas infused with red fruit, coffee bean, pencil lead and cedar plank.
Taste: A remarkable Bordeaux varietal red blend, lustrous and supple in texture with chewy tannins on an elegant yet powerful delivery of red and black fruit, dried currant, tobacco leaf and crushed rock on the expansive finish.
Recommended pairings: Beef tenderloin, roasted duck, wild mushroom risotto or robust tomato sauce, cassouet, aged cheddar and blue cheeses.
