2014 Sparkman Wilderness Red, Columbia Valley

Winemaker’s Notes

The 2014 Wilderness from Sparkman Cellars is a Syrah dominated blend that includes 17% Petite Sirah, 12% Grenache, 11% Tempranillo and tiny amounts of Souzãu and Touriga Naçional. Its deep purple/ruby color is followed by attractive notes of blackberries, plums, peppery herbs and asphalt. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered on the palate, with plenty of textured tannins, it’s a charming, pleasure bent effort to drink.
