2003 Serience Red Wine

'“88 points” Wine Spectator

“Excellent” – Wine Press Northwest Spring 2008
“The winery President, Ken McCabe, is the sheriff of Seattle’s Rhone Ranger event, and here’s a blend he’d be proud to pour with Syrah (35%), Grenache (30%), Mourvedre (17%), Counoise (13%), and Cinsault from the estate Alder Ridge. There are blackberries, tobacco leaf, roasted coffee and buckwheat honey on the outside with delicious dense blackberry and marionberry flavors on the inside. It’s a bold wine with a solid structure and good length”.

“ Recommended” -Northwest Palate January/February 2008
“ Deep aromas of ripe plum and dark berry are accented by nuances of pepper and earth. In the mouth, the black pepper sensation continues, surrounded by plenty of plummy fruit. Additional smoke and wood scents season the finish. Mouthfilling and bold, but with a pleasingly lush character, this ripe-style blend would be great with coq au vin.”

“Excellent”- Wine Press Northwest Spring 2008
“ It’s 100% Sangio from Alder Ridge, and inside rests the food-friendly acidity one would expect from this Italian grape. Inviting raspberry, Rainier cherries and green peppercorn notes lead into dark cherry, plum and blueberry flavors. Smooth tannins and nice acidity make this age-worthy for the next five years”.
