2015 LINEN Red Wine
This is our every day go-to red wine! Smooth and easy to drink! *Please note case discounts are not applied to Linen products*
Our 2015 Linen Red Blend brings a lot to the table, pun intended! An intense color of mulberry in the glass. The nose offers hints of hot cin- namon, dark cherries and bright raspberries with ripples of chocolate woven throughout This medium bodied beauty delivers delicate notes of spice, mocha and marionberry on the palate. This wine is made to enjoy now.
The Linen Red is created to be a drinkable, affordable every day red with a refined character. Grapes are selected from vineyards throughout Washington’s Columbia Valley. Fermented in small lots using traditional techniques, Linen is aged for 16 months in small oak barrels then thoughtfully blended. 2011 was a Classic Washington vintage (warm sunny days and cool nights) resulting in a wine with a fresh, spicy nose. Balanced acidity, powerful dark fruit flavors and a lingering finish make for easy drinking.
