2018 Januik Red Blend Columbia Valley

The nose is filled with fresh blackberry, cherry and dark chocolate notes. On the palate, the wine is packed with raspberry and vanilla flavors. A concentrated and balanced mid-palate follows into a nice supple finish.
After destemming and crushing, grapes were fermented on their skins for an average of eight days. After being pressed off, this wine was aged for 20 months in equal amounts of new and once used French oak barrels to improve its already lengthy finish. Racking the wine every five months created supple tannins and an elegant, stylish structure. 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 6% Grenache, 4% Cabernet Franc.
