The 2023 Red Blend is spicy in the glass, with a whiff of cedar shavings and dried herbs complementing dried black cherries. Juicy in style, it has a peppery flourish that adds depth to its ripe red fruits. It finishes long, echoing with blue and purple florals as hints of licorice fade.

Behind the Wine
Vineyards
Columbia Valley provides ideal growing conditions for wine grapes, with dramatic swings in temperature from day to night. This natural phenomenon, known as diurnal shift, offers cool nights that conserve acidity, and intense sunny days that infuse bold, ripe fruit flavors.
Winemaking
Métier Red Blend is sourced from a variety of vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley. After 8-10 days of maceration on skins, the juice is aged in 8% new French oak.
