WHEATFIELD VINES VINEYARD
WALLA WALLA VALLEY AVA
80% MERLOT, 20% Cabernet sauvignon
Aromas of a holiday kitchen; freshly baked cherry cobbler plus mulling spices on the stove. Rich, red fruit offers layers of flavor to support the bubbling cherry juice, while aromas of wheat, brown butter and hay deliver the earthiness of the Walla Walla Valley. Bright acid and balanced tannins offer structure and invite pairings with peppery sausage, garlic mashed potatoes and sweet corn, complimenting the slight and sweet tartness on the mid palate.
