Ryan Patrick Vineyards Rock Island Red 08

Consistently a Wine Spectator Best Buy! Vanilla, cherry, oak, spice and chocolate make for a superb nose and excellent palette. A blend of 57% Merlot, 37% Cab and 6% Cab Franc.

Prior vintage notes: The Rock Island project was the first dam to span the Columbia River. With our tasting room in Rock Island, WA, this wine is our tribute and a palate pleaser! Estate grown grapes (52% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc) provide hints of peppers while 18 months of french oak aging creates subtle tannins. Drink with red meats or hearty pastas.
