2015 Passing Time Red Wine Columbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend
Because could there be a more appropriate wine name for Quarantine Day 18? Decanted for aeration. Made by the talented Chris Peterson at Avennia, this 'winery' is owned by Dan Marino and Damon Huard (of NFL fame). Plums and blackberries, with a lactic note that made me check the contents on the label to make sure syrah wasn't in the mix (it wasn't). In fact, it's interesting that it's 92% cab and 8% merlot; considering the money-maker that cabernet is, why do they just call it red wine? At five years out it's an easy drinker that doesn't seem likely to pick up complex secondary development, but one can still hope.
