2017 SVS - Stillwater Creek

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec

SVS is an acronym for Pondera’s terroir focused single vineyard series.  All the fruit for this Bordeaux style blend comes from the highly regarded Stillwater Creek Vineyard located in the Royal Slope AVA of Washington State. The color is deep ruby red and the nose is chalked full of dark fruit aromas, letting you know you are in for an special treat.  The first sip will fill your mouth with rich black fruits that lead to fleshy boysenberry, cassis, semisweet chocolate shavings and subtle notes of leather and graphite.  All the flavors come together gracefully and harmoniously to create the perfect blend.
