WINE DESCRIPTION
Gordon Estate, located in the heart of Washington's Columbia Valley, is proud to be the state's oldest estate winery, exclusively using estate-grown grapes to craft its hand-made wines. In 1980, Jeff Gordon, along with his wife Vicki and brother Bill, planted their first vines on a sagebrush-covered slope overlooking the Snake River. Five years later, in 1985, they released their inaugural small-lot Chardonnay from their estate vines. Today, Gordon Estate is a growing name in both production and acclaim, continuing to produce superb wines that reflect the unique terroir of southeastern Washington.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Kamiak Rock Lake Red is a robust and complex blend that displays notes of ripe cherries, cedar, and tobacco with a hint of earthiness.On the palate, the wine is bright and juicy with a velvety texture that is well balanced by moderate tannins. Aromas of dark berries, oak, and leather add complexity to the finish. Enjoy this bold and flavorful red blend with a hearty meal.
