Co Dinn 2017 Elephant Mountain Vineyard Red Blend

This is 58% Cab, 12% Petit Verdot, 11% Cab Franc, 10% Merlot,  and 9% Malbec – the first time Co Dinn added Cab Franc to this Bordeaux blend, completing the full house. If there is one wine from this entire overview you should absolutely try it is this one or its 2016 predecessor. Both are stellar examples of why and how Yakima Valley Bordeaux blends can and should be the iconic standards for Washington state.

14.6%; $65 (Rattlesnake Hills)
