Owner/winemaker Jarrod Boyle was working for Hogue Cellars when he happened upon a stretch of land in the southern Horse Heaven Hills that was slated to become a rock quarry. He envisioned a vineyard and partnered with the Mercer family to plant Destiny Ridge Vineyard, now one of the most beautiful plantings in Washington. This red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot honors the vineyard and what could have been its fate. it opens with aromas of cedar, strawberry jam, vanilla, mint and toasted oak, followed by beautiful flavors of blueberry, black cherry, Marionberry and chocolate. It’s a balanced, complex wine with ample structure to back up the bold flavors. This wine calls for a thick steak or a hearty stew.
