2015 North by Northwest Columbia Valley Red Blend 3L

Tasting Notes

Ruby colored at its core, this wine shows beautifully with garnet edges, and strong notes of cassis, toffee, cigar box, and blueberry elements on the nose. On the mid-palate, ripe blackberry and plum flavors dance with tannic cedar and tobacco leaf characteristics. This round and fleshy wine shows great fruit on the finish, with subtle earth components and a long finish. Enjoy now until 2031.

Vineyard Notes

North by Northwest was founded in 2005 by the King family with the vision to handcraft varietally pure wines from the finest vineyards in Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley AVAs, which straddle the border of Washington and Oregon. We partner with like-minded vineyard owners, with an eye on sustainable viticultural practices. Our guiding principle is simple: produce a quality wine, for wine lovers.

Winemaker Notes

Fruit for the 2015 vintage was cold soaked for extraction, then punched down, and pumped over. For optimum flavor and body, this wine underwent delestage, with extended maceration before being aged 10 months in French and American oak barrels, 25% of which were new.
