2020 Cadence Bel Canto
The 2020 Cadence Bel Canto, a symphony of flavors from Washington’s Red Mountain, is a wine that sings to the senses. With a blend of 73% Cabernet Franc and 27% Merlot, this full-bodied red strikes a harmonious chord of deeply floral notes, intertwined with herbs and huckleberries. On the palate, it dances with the vibrant tones of blueberries and dried herbs, while an underlying savory iron component adds depth and backbone. This wine pairs exquisitely with robust dishes; imagine it alongside a succulent roast lamb or a hearty beef bourguignon, where its bold flavors can truly resonate. The 2020 Cadence Bel Canto is not just a wine, it’s an experience, one that gracefully enhances any meal and any moment.
2017 Five Star Cellars Malbec
The 2017 Five Star Cellars Malbec is a testament to the rich tapestry of Washington’s Walla Walla Valley. It greets the nose with an enchanting bouquet of Marionberry pie and Jolly Rancher grape candy, complemented by delicate rose petal and a hint of white pepper. On the palate, it unfolds layers of condensed dark blue fruit flavors, where boysenberry acidity mingles with blueberry skin tannins and a subtle scrape of toast. This Malbec finds its perfect match in the company of peppery dishes, sage-infused sauces, or a creamy mushroom risotto. For those with a love for cheese, a blue cheese burger or a platter featuring Manchego and aged Gouda would elevate the tasting experience. The 2017 vintage is a versatile companion to a meal, ready to enhance the flavors of both the bold and the subtle.
