After a bit of a hiatus from drinking wine once last weekend’s WNH event ended, it’s time to get back to it! @Mark Flesher gifted this to me as he’s a big WH fan, and after trying many of their wines, I am too.

This is meant to be an easy drinking, easily pair-able wine. Mission accomplished. Dusty raspberries and ripe, fresh squeezed blackberries on the nose. Medium bodied. Very little tannic bite, with accompanying acidity, implying this is indeed meant to be enjoyed young. Red and black fruit dominant on the palate with currant, tobacco, and typical Rutherford “dust”. There is a fairly pronounced herbal spice toward the back and finish...sage and black pepper, maybe? Great QPR here.

MUY Simpatico. 13 blend of mostly CS and CF. Delicious. This was our Brasswood BYOB and paired ridiculously well with their Margherita Pizza. Well....it paired well with the entire night, so I guess the wine is properly named?? Floral nose, red cherry entry, black cherry finish. Peppery, a little tannic, a little herbal. LOVE this William Harrison blend.
