2015 Tribute Red

This wine was created to commemorate the life of our founder, John Walker. John was a true visionary and he created Kestrel Vintners to craft wines of both superior quality and value. John saw the potential of the Washington wine industry during its infancy and started Kestrel Vintners in order to take part in the growth of the industry. This complex blend is a tribute to John Walker’s role in the Washington State wine industry. It is a nontraditional red blend created to showcase the smoothness and complexity of our wines.

Your glass is filled with an enticing deep ruby color. Aromas of bright red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry jump from the glass. All those wonderful fruit aromas mingle with a nice oak undertone adding a pleasant earthiness to the wine. Elements of dark chocolate, vanilla and fresh earth fill your mouth with each sip. The flavors of fig and mocha present a slight tannin on the finish. The wine has great structure with an elegant balance of oak and acidity.
