The 2011 Spellbinder is a blend of 50% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 9% Syrah, and 2% Sangiovese. The fresh red and black fruits are buoyed by bright acids that are the hallmark of the cooler 2011 vintage in Washington State. The Spellbinder has always been crafted with the idea that wine is meant to be paired with food and shared with friends, and this vintage is no different. Although this wine will certainly age gracefully, it is already approachable and will make a great table companion to roasted meats, pasta, and poultry dishes. Cheers!
