Grateful Red 2018

Bacchus, Dionysus and Gamache Vineyards-Columbia Valley 

91 Points-The Wine Panel

40% Cabernet Franc Bacchus Vineyard, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon Dionysus Vineyard, 31% Malbec Gamache Vineyard, 4% Petit Verdot

Leading with a Cab Franc that is heady with violets, the inky dark color from Malbec with the tell-tale pyrazines from Cabernet Sauvignon. The  palate delivers significant cinnamon spice, prunes, cassis, black pepper, blackberry, and even flinty graphite. This is a smooth, flavorful wine that  will get better with age!
