Tasting Notes:

Bright red-ruby. Slightly high-toned aromas of raspberry, cassis, cocoa powder and voilet. Sweet and silky on the palate, offering an alluring fleshy quality to its intense cassis fruit framed by an edge of acidity.

About Canoe Ridge VIneyard

Canoe Ridge Vineyard is one of Washington State’s most recognized wineries, with its namesake vineyard established in 1989 in the Horse Heaven Hills American Viticultural Area. Varieties are focused on Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The name comes from a ridge by the vineyard located along the mid-Columbia River, near the town of Paterson. The famed explorers Lewis & Clark named this crest of land as the journeyed down the Columbia River in 1805. From the river, the adventurers thought the ridge resembled an overturned canoe. The Walla Walla-based winery marked its 20th anniversary in 2014.
