Jason Gorski, Nick Bernstein and their team have picked up multiple Platinum Awards from our panels in each of the past four years. This is their first with Minuit, previously a club-only blend of Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon from standout vineyards Quintessence on Red Mountain that now includes legendary Red Willow. The results are splendid and dark — minuit is French for midnight — with notes of dried cherries, cranberry, kiwi and bell pepper among lingering spice notes of black pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg. Qualifying awards: Seattle Wine Awards (gold), Pacific Northwest (gold)
