Winemaker Robert Smasne expertly honors the heritage of the Newhouse family’s great grandfather Teunis Johannes with this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (56%), Merlot (22%), Cabernet Franc (18%) and Malbec. Aromas include blueberry, Marionberry, vanilla bean, lilac and violets. It’s a drink brimming with that same purple fruit in a medium-structure. That theme of blueberry and Marionberry keeps pushing from beginning to end. This wine earned a gold medal at the 2014 Great Northwest Wine Competition.
