Mark Ryan Winery's Long Haul Red Blend, Columbia Valley, $55. This wine is mostly Merlot (84%), with the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and a little Viognier. Fruity aromas abound from Quintessence, Red Willow, Ciel du Cheval and Klipsun vineyards - think toast, cherry pie filling earthiness coffee beans chocolate spice and herbs. Cherry and coffee flavors are elegant together lingering finish.
Underground Wine Project's Idle Hands Red Blend from Walla Walla Valley Washington; $30. A joint project between winemakers Trey Busch and Mark McNeilly this wine is almost all Syrah. The nose is rich with orange peel cinnamon clove plum baking spices - it's a pleasure to drink pure but more restrained than this warm region or vintage might suggest best until end of '21.
The Underground Wine Project also makes a Grenache-based red blend called "Devil's in the Details" for $30 with an average score of around B+ (88 points). It has notes of cocoa cherry plum blueberry woodsmoke spices that lead to delicate floral flavors in the finish - it's an easy-drinking wine but hard to discern variety or name - SPS
