2021 Rhapsody in Red
The Rhapsody in Red is our Cabernet Sauvignon blend. Konnowac Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is organically certified. It is blended with Wallula Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc, and Dionysus Petit Verdot. Rhapsody is very similar in blend to our Children’s Reserve Cuvée. Round, ripe, and terrific.
The Rhapsody in Red has a dark red hue with aromas of black raspberry, dark plum, and dark red currant fruit aromas with light toasted oak and baking spices. The aromas are luxurious. The mouthfeel is broad and delicious with flavors of raspberries, pomegranate, peppercorn, and hints of lavender bud and minerals. The Rhapsody is broad, rich, and lovely. Enjoy through 2031
