Much of the VanArnam program comes from estate fruit, yet here winemaker Branden Seymour pulls in Tempranillo from Angiolina Farms to include with estate Malbec (46%) and Syrah (27%) for this new label. The 26 months in oak result in the sprinkles of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice that take this wine of cherries, cassis and chocolate to the next level. Enjoy with the Mediterranean Salad Nachos served at the VanArnam on-premise Tin Roof Grill. Qualifying award: Bellingham NW (gold)
