Hard Row to Hoe Vineyards 2014 S&M Red Wine, Lake Chelan, $38
By Great Northwest Wine on December 29, 2017
This fun, talented and devoted producer on the north shore of Lake Chelan loves its double entendres, and this might be the best yet, thanks to a blend of Syrah and Malbec. These are two grapes that complement the other as the bright acidity of the Malbec lifts the fruit of the Syrah, a naturally low-acid grape. This example reveals aromas of cocoa powder, blueberry and black pepper, alongside flavors of blackberry, plum, red currant and bittersweet chocolate. It won a gold medal and best in class at the 2017 Wenatchee Wine Awards.
Rating: Outstanding!
Production: 389 cases
Alcohol: 13.8%
