Mullan Road Cabernet Blend Columbia Valley 2013

The 2013 Mullan Road is a simply delicious bottle of wine that is showing exceptionally well now and has great aging potential. The bouquet offers waves of ripe red berries, plum, and sage. The texture is fantastic and balanced from beginning to end. Notes of cassis, black raspberry, anise, and toast culminate in an elegant, focused finish. Enjoy now or anytime over the next 15 years.

Mullan Road Cellars Winery

Mullan Road Cellars is a journey into Washington winemaking led by Dennis Cakebread of Cakebread Cellars. Drawn by the high quality of wines and the camaraderie of the Walla Walla wine community, Dennis and winemaker Aryn Morell worked with the famed Seven Hills Vineyard on the southern edge of the Walla Walla Valley appellation as well as vineyards in the soon-to-be-recognized Royal Slope appellation to craft this powerful yet elegant Bordeaux-style Red Blend.
