Corvidae 'The Rook' Cab/Merlot/Syrah 2009, Washington

"...lucky at cards.."

Corvidae is the Latin name for the family of birds that includes the Crow, Raven, Jay and Magpie. These "dark" birds are everywhere in the vineyards of Eastern Washington. Their reputation as crafty, adaptable, and somewhat dubious characters is a fitting icon for our suspiciously terrific value wines from this region. The geology and climate here yields rich, complex fruit, with luscious fragrance and bright acidity.

So be wise like the crow and enjoy these great wines from the Pacific Northwest.

With a robust nose of rich black cherry, mocha, and a whiff of Syrah smoke, this is definitely not a shy wine. Lots of ripe fruit flavors are here, with cassis and plums dominating. It's all kept in balance by ample acidity and chewy tannins.

Pair this big red by hook or by crook (!) with almost anything off the grill, salmon or steak, chops or chicken, you get the idea.

45% Merlot
40% Syrah
15% Cab Sauvignon
