Perhaps Washington’s warmest growing region has no problem ripening Bordeaux varieties for the Jones family, and winemaker Victor Palencia uses some Syrah (13%) to build mouth feel.

Its approachable structure brings smooth and dark flavors of black cherry and black currant, backed by chocolate-covered pomegranate, juicy acidity and a touch of earthiness.
