Wine

The nose opens on an elegant combination of red and black fruit aromas, followed with airing by elegant spice and roasted coffee-bean notes. The palate has ripe red and black fruit flavors emerge on the attack, followed on the midpalate by powerful black fruit mingled with delicate spice and roasted coffee-bean notes. The fruit flavors found on the attack return, underpinned by beautifully refined tannins which give length and elegance to the finish.

Horseshoes & Handgrenades is fruit-driven, full-bodied complex red blend sourced from Southern Oregon and Red Mountain Washington. The rich, ripe, voluptuous fruit comes from Oregon Syrah with just enough Washington Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to give it complexity and structure. Mainly Oregon fruit with a splash of Washington State make up this All-American Red Wine with a Northwest twist. The Blend: Syrah (OR), Merlot (WA), Cabernet Sauvignon (WA)

The “Fundamental” red is a nuanced and complex blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Viognier. A full-bodied wine that will easily compete with any wine to be found at this price point, this blend is loaded with character and offers rich notes of blackberries, smoked meats, and espresso. Drink the approachable wine now or age it over the next five years.

The color is a deep purple with a garnet rim. The aromas and flavors are intense and complex, with notes of bramble-berry, cassis, a touch of bayleaf or capsicum backed by spice (cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon) and cocoa nibs. The mouthwatering finish is long and bright with just enough tannin to suggest this wine will be around for the long haul.

Dark garnet in color with a ruby edge. Toasty oak frames and adds depth to fruit aromas of dark bramble and dried blueberry, leading into intriguing notes of exotic spices and roasted coffee. Lifted aromas of juniper and subtle violet add generosity, layers, and aromatic complexity to this wine. Dark fruit dominates the entry with jammy black cherry and dark plum followed by black licorice, cocoa, and toasty oak with a spicy, lifted mid-palate. A bit of peppery cassis leads the finish with some dried herb notes and grippy tannins.
