Requiem Merlot Syrah Blend, Columbia Valley
Requiem Red is a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Merlot from four sites in the Columbia Valley, mostly the Yakima Valley AVA. Yakima Valley is the state’s oldest AVA (in fact, the first federally recognized area in the Pacific Northwest), and is home to some of Washington’s most storied and historic vineyards. It also is the largest sub-appellation of the Columbia Valley, both in total size and planted acreage, with the valley home to over one quarter of Washington’s total grape vine acreage.
This is a sassy blend with swagger – full and juicy with ripe, gushing, velvety black fruit flavors. You may find blackcurrant, dark cherries, brair patch fruits, blueberry jam, liquorice, and dark chocolate – or maybe not. You will find it to be delicious. Robust, spicy and warm, this is a great companion for a workday wind down, roasted dishes at the table, and lively conversation into the wee hours of the night.
