2015 "The Archimage" Red Blend 1500mL

The 2015 Archimage is an incredible blend of 57% Cabernet Franc and 43% Merlot. It was aged for 20 months in 40% new French oak. Our Estate fruit from the Walla Walla, Red Mtn., and Horse Heaven Hills AVA’s make up the majority of this exceptional blend. It has a gorgeous, deep garnet color, with savory, spicy, and dramatic aromatics, combined with pretty floral notes from the Cabernet Franc. A rich, plush mouthfeel, balanced with terrific acidity, leads to flavors of dark cherries, toffee, tobacco leaf, graphite, and anise, and the refined tannins give this wine an extremely long finish. Drink this over the next 15-20 years!
