Airfield Estates 2013 Mustang Red Wine, Yakima Valley, $25

By on September 5, 2017

It could be labeled as Syrah since it forms 75 percent to the wine, but the Miller family opts to brand this Rhône-style red as Mustang, a tribute to the P-51 fighter aircraft built by North American Aviation that first took to the skies for British and American forces during World War II. The 2013 Mustang injects Grenache (20%) and Mourvèdre (5%) for a rich nose of black currant, cherry and dark chocolate with touches of chalkboard dust and squid ink. Across the palate, there’s a long runaway of boysenberry, plum and black currant flavors capped by delicious pomegranate and vanilla notes. It continues to rank as one of the Northwest’s most affordable expressions of GSM.
