Vintage Notes
At more than 20 years of age, the beautifully mature vines of Ryan Vineyard have produced a stunning wine with enticing aromas of Rainier cherry, lavender, yellow plum and raspberry. On the plush palate, supple tannins and luxurious flavors of blackberry and cherry cola emerge, with hints of black pepper lingering throughout a long, complex finish.
