Avennia Gravura Red 2021
- Buy any 12 bottles or Build a Case® and save!
A brand new release from Avennia, one of the hottest wineries in Washington. Their Bordeaux-inspired Gravura blend has been a go-to of ours for several vintages and it shines especially brightly in the dynamic 2021 vintage. It begins with a core of Red Willow fruit, both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
"Very interesting, almost Bordeaux-like on the nose, with earthy black raspberry, plum, black cherry, cigar box, graphite, and tanned leather. Stately and full-bodied on the palate, where the dark red and black fruits mingle with baked clay, pencil lead, milk chocolate, wildflower honey, and river minerals to create a harmonious and compelling wine. This will be a nice bottle to lay down for a couple of years and enjoy over the following couple decades." -Chris Peterson, winemaker

2019 vintage notes
93 points Wine Spectator: "Sleek and multilayered, with expressive black cherry, bitter chocolate and dusky spice flavors that build toward refined tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030."
