WINE DESCRIPTION

14 Hands Stampede Red Blend is a premium wine produced by 14 Hands Winery, a renowned winery located in the Columbia Valley appellation of Washington State. This wine is a blend of several red grape varieties, including Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Syrah sourced from select vineyards in the region. The vineyards are characterized by their unique terroir, which includes a mix of sandy loam and gravelly soils, and a warm, dry climate that allows the grapes to ripen fully. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a rich, full-bodied red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and vanilla, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.
