2017 Aluel "Coat of Arms"

2021 Washington Wine Awards Double Gold Medal Winner!
2021 Great Northwest Wine Awards Double Gold Medal Winner!

The "Coat of Arms" is our flagship Bordeaux-style red blend that captures the essence of the very best that the vintage has to offer.

The 2017 “Coat of Arms” showcases the epitome of balance and structure as embodied in this vintage’s blend of almost equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec.  Medium purple color in a glass, the nose presents notes of raspberry jam, blackcurrant, eucalyptus, bell pepper, clay dust, baking spices, smoke, and leather.  On the palate, this harmonious blend showcases qualities of boysenberries, cherry, black plum, peppercorn, cedar smoke, and a hint of cocoa powder.

34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Malbec, 33% Merlot
