2007  Lucid  Red Willow

About the Vineyard

Located in the northwest corner of the Yakima Valley, Red Willow is one of the oldest and most celebrated vineyards in Washington.  The vines are planted on steep hillsides with unique soil formations unlike any other in the state.

 

The region’s warm and sunny days allow the grapes to ripen fully and cool nights keep the fruit acids high, creating flavorful and well-balanced wines.

 

Tasting Notes

Aromas and flavors of ripened blueberries, cherry cola and chocolate.  A full bodied red wine with firm tannins and balanced acidity.

 

Food & Wine Pairing

The 2007 Lucid would go well with dishes like pulled pork sandwiches with smoky-sweet barbecue sauce.
