2019 :Nota Bene Arianses Vineyard - Wahluke Slope

Our friend and vineyard owner Bruce Zunser has raised another intriguing vintage from Arianses Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot share the leading role, but all varietals offer significant sensory components. We love this wine’s fruit-forward nature and accessibility early on release. The Cabernet leans toward red fruit flavors while the Merlot offers dark berries and currant. All components finish with soft and pleasant tannins making this a wonderful wine to pair with food.
