10,000 Hours Red Blend 2019

There’s a theory that says to become truly accomplished at something (karate, painting, the cello) it takes at least 10,000 hours of practice. This holds true for winemaking, too, where in this case the hours are counted in decades, and one thing is undeniable, there are no shortcuts. Their rich, complex 10,000 Hours reds are the culmination of that dedication. Each is deep, structured, and born of the famously exclusive Red Mountain terroir in eastern Washington, where the land and climate impart flavour characteristics like no other region in the world. This combination of patient toil and perfect sun, soil and rainfall conditions result in Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Blend experiences that are meant to be savored, not rushed. Will you be able to taste the decades of passion and master craftsmanship that go into each bottle? Instantly.

This Red Mountain gem was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels and can be enjoyed now or age in the bottle for 10+ years. Raspberry preserves, dried savoury herb and mocha on the nose with hints of liquorice, clove and vanilla. Expansive on the fore palate, building to a dense and rich mid palate with strong notes of ripe fruit and baking spices. Long, lingering finish with hints of toasty oak and vanilla.
