The RR Poet Allusion Bordeaux Blend 2021 from PineBrake Vineyard in Rattlesnake Hills, Washington, is a masterful blend that showcases the region’s potential. This wine combines the richness of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with the complexity of other Bordeaux varieties, offering a rich tapestry of plum, blackberry, and subtle herbal notes. The structure is robust, with well-integrated tannins that evoke the classic Bordeaux style, reminiscent of a fine Pauillac. The wine’s depth and complexity make it a standout in its class. For a truly satisfying experience, pair this wine with a grilled ribeye steak seasoned with thyme and rosemary.
