10,000 Hours, Red Mountain (Washington) 2018

May 12, 2021

By Marguerite Thomas

 A tasty and opulent blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc.  Aged 18 months in 50% new American oak, this wine’s overall flavorful palate suggests ripe fruit, traces of baking spice, and a hint of coffee.  Eastern Washington’s Red Mountain viticultural region boasts a dry climate, with little more than 5 inches of annual rainfall.
