Todd Threlkeld tapped into his initials for the name of his young brand in Seattle’s SoDo Gateway Center, and he’s made Rhône varieties a focus. He quickly received acclaim with his 2018 Syrah from Konnowac and Arianses Vineyards, so it adds up that this blend of Grenache (30%), Syrah (55%) and Mourvèdre return him his first Platinum. Its dark red fruit profile of ripe strawberry and black cherry receives lovely spice box elements. The skillful tannin management he’s learned from the Northwest Wine Academy makes this incredible complex. Suggested pairings include herb-rubbed roasted chicken.
