Sagelands Freddie's Blend 2008, Washington

ABOUT THE WINE
Seductive, fruit-intense aromas lead to luscious ripe black plum, juicy strawberry and raspberry flavors in our 2008 Freddie's Blend. Notes of allspice, pepper, rose, violet and black licorice add complexity to this easy-to-love wine. The tannin structure is velvety and approachable as it supports the flavors through a lingering, fruit-imbued finish. This wine invites you to take another sip.

That's just what our winemaker, Frédérique (Freddie) Spencer, wanted when she composed this beautifully balanced blend from a selection of her favorite vineyards. Six grape varietals-Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Lemberger, Merlot and Syrah-from different sites in Columbia Valley gave her special bottling layer upon layer of complexity. She cold soaked the lightly crushed grapes prior to fermentation to develop intense fruitiness and aged each varietal separately in American oak barrels. Four rackings gently clarified and developed the wine during 16 months of aging.
