Elephant Mountain Vineyard. Yakima Valley AVA.

You’ll find a medium ruby hue in this beautifully aromatic red wine. Notes of dried fig, ripe plum, tamarind and bourbon cherry. The texture is like a smooth, circular dance, ending with a spicy finish (pepper jelly/cayenne pepper). Aged in neutral French oak puncheons to soften the palate. 200 cases produced. $45 retail/$36 club
