2021 Sagemoor Estates Estate Red Blend Weinbau Vineyard

You've probably had Sagemoor fruit without knowing it. Since 1972 these vineyards have quietly fed a who's-who of Washington's top labels.

Sagemoor is one of Washington's original vineyard names, planted in 1972 on the sandy bluffs above the Columbia River. For fifty years it sold fruit to the state's most renowned wineries.

Now it bottles its own, and this Bordeaux-style blend is the everyday flagship.

It's a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot — dark raspberry, licorice, a hint of orange peel and toasted nuts. Full-bodied but polished, with a fine-grained tannin frame that keeps it balanced. Washington sun, real structure, no rough edges.

This is a weeknight steak wine that drinks like more. Burgers, ribs, a roast, sharp cheddar — pour it and don't fuss. It's built to please a table.
