Curioture 2017 Cabernet Merlot Petite Sirah Rattlesnake Hills, Washington

Description

Curioture invites us into the mind of the winemaker with this complex Bordeaux-style blend. Each varietal displays distinctive characteristics, contributing to a dense flavor profile with dark fruit flavors, noteworthy textures, and prominent oak influence. In the arid climate of Rattlesnake Hills, Washington, a mountainous landscape provides vines with reliable access to sunlight while protected from cooling winds and damaging frost. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petite Sirah ripen well into autumn as they develop concentrated flavors. After carefully considering flavor profile and structure, the winemaking team blended them together with 50 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 44 percent Merlot; Petite Sirah rounded out the balance of this blend. Extensive oak aging shaped the nuance and finesse of the final wine. The intention and artistry behind each sip make this bottle deserving of a special occasion or memorable meal.
