Allison Engman and her three business partners have Cabernet Sauvignon planted across their three vineyards on Red Mountain — Ambassador, Sunset and Annex — but the secret sauce to this lighter-style red blend is Syrah (23%) from the 22-acre namesake site. The profile is dominated by cherries, both Bing and Rainier, and is joined by mint and mocha, while the finish of plum juice makes it easy to revisit. These wines are poured at their Warehouse tasting room in Woodinville and the new Woodin Creek tasting room. Qualifying award: Seattle Wine Awards (double gold)
