Harlequin Cuvee Alexander
Hand-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from select Washington vineyards make up this artisan wine. Bright aromas of cassis, earth and mocha are framed by toasty oak. In the mouth this rich blend displays juicy black cherry and ripe plum flavors balanced by lush ripe tannins and vanilla nuances. 500 cases produced.
The wine is an ideal accompaniment to roasts, grilled beef and hearty pastas. Enjoy the wine now but could develop nicely with cellaring for two to three years.
