The Columbia Valley is home to the most storied AVA’s in Washington state, and in Dixie & Bass, grapes are sourced from the Columbia Valley region adjacent to the prestigious Red Mountain AVA. Predominantly south-facing, Washington’s largest viticultural region couples warm sun and great drainage, thanks to the Columbia River, to produce wines that are fruit-forward, yet retain some of the structure of European wines.

Our 2018 Red Blend is equal parts savory herb, baking spice, and ripe fruit on the nose with dried tarragon, red cherry, espresso, and vanilla. Very inviting on the palate, this surprisingly complex wine offers loads of fruit and dried herb on the fore palate, leading to a very round, soft mid palate dominated by rich, chewy tannins and bright red fruit. The long, clean finish showcases the wine’s complexity, while rich tannins invite another sip. Pour with pungent cheeses like gorgonzola, a grilled hanger steak or pork tenderloin, or try with wild rice and mushroom-stuffed peppers.
