Elegant with a dusty floral and oaky essence, the 2019 Two Blondes Vineyard is plummy in nature with aromas of red cherry skin and black raspberry and hints of popcorn kernel and vanilla that waft from the glass. Full-bodied, precise and focused, the wine shows nuances of baking spices on the palate along with a balanced structure of succulent tannins and energetic acidity. Concluding with a long, lingering finish, this fantastic wine continues to evolve in the mouth with persistent flavors of sweet oak and ripe, fleshy red and black fruit essence. Bravo-I'm not spitting a single drop.

The 2019 Two Blondes Vineyard comes from a site in the Yakima Valley and checks in as 58% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Malbec. It shows a cooler vibe in its black and blue fruits as well as more green tobacco, cedar, chocolate, and floral aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has nicely integrated acidity, terrific purity, and a great finish.

The 2019 Red Wine Two Blondes entices with a woodland-inspired bouquet of flowery underbrush, white pepper and sage complicating a core of crushed blueberries. It is a deeply textural wine, showing off silken waves of ripe red and blue fruit energized by zesty acidity, as rosy inner florals amass toward the close. The 2019 holds its power in reserve, finishing long and tannic with a saline tinge, and yet through it all, freshness is expertly maintained. While already fun to taste, this will excel through medium-term cellaring.
