One of the joys of Washington wine country is pairing Wine O’Clock cuisine in Prosser and Ron Bunnell’s winemaking with fruit from nearby growers such as Dick Boushey. Here’s a delicious example that starts with aromas of spicy oak and untempered chocolate wafting over strawberry, black cherry, raspberry and rose petals. Fresh-fruit flavors dominate the racy drink as plump cranberries, red currant, rich cherry and pomegranate keep the tannins pushed way into the background.
