Mark Ryan "The Dissident" Red 07
winery: Mark Ryan
Mark Ryan "The Dissident" Red Wine - 2007 will go on record as one of the best vintages for Washington reds - maybe the best yet! Mark uses "dissident" juice--Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah from his top vineyard sources--and turns it into one of the best value reds from Washington State. Huge, velvety black and red fruits wash over your palate. An awesome display of rich, juicy, powerful red wine. - Avalon
This delicious blend of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot comes from one of the best vintages on record in Washington state, and we think this is it’s best incarnation yet. Rich, round and juicy with a velvety full body and a long lasting finish, this wine is made to drink young or will cellar well for years to come. - the winery

Huge, toasty aromas of black fruit guide you in to a lush attack of black currant, black cherry, and sweet cedar. The finish has the right amount of grip, balancing the softness on the front end of The Dissident. Powerful flavors of more black currant, mexican chocolate, and vanilla bean resonate on the finish. Once again, Mark takes "dissident" juice--Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah from his top vineyard sources--and turns it into one of the best value reds from Washington State.
