Ruah, Columbia Valley Washington, 2008
Wahluke Slope. Red wine. Ruah is an ancient word for wind, breath or spirit. Our signature blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot is distinctive, lush and bold. On the palate, flavors of blackberries, pie cherries and toasted walnuts mingle with soft vanilla and oak. This robust wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5-8 years to allow the development of more nuanced flavors. Greg Fries, winemaker. Grown in Columbia Valley, Washington. 14.5% alcohol/volume.
