The 2022 Métier Red Wine from Columbia Valley bursts open with layers of ripe blueberries, black raspberries, and a touch of graphite. Hints of lilac and dried sage weave through the bouquet, adding complexity to the dark fruit core. The palate is vibrant and structured, showcasing juicy plum, cassis, and a streak of crushed rock minerality. Subtle vanilla and baking spice emerge from the 8% new oak aging, lending depth without overpowering the fruit. Supple tannins frame the finish. About 7000 cases made. Best Buy.

Behind the Wine

2022 Métier Red Blend

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.
