Spokane-based winemakers Joe and Rebecca Gunselman have stong ties to the Horse Heaven Hills AVA at their estate vineyard, Gunselman Bench. This lovely, limited production Bordeaux varietal red blend was sourced from a number of vineyards, including Gunselman, Andrews Horse Heaven Ranch, McKinley Springs, and Phinny Hill vineyards.
Nose: Fragrant aromatics of red and black fruit with black plum, pomegranate, leather, vanilla and spice.
Taste: There’s a gorgeous streak of crushed rock minerality driving pure fruit flavors of blackberry, raspberry, currants, licorice and sage. Polished and high-toned with well-integrated tannins, structure and balance.
