2018 Avennia Gravura Bordeaux Blend

	48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc
	Columbia Valley, WA, USA
	Native yeast fermentation, 60% new French oak, aged 20 months, bottled unfined & unfiltered. 14.6% abv
	"This wine opens with evocative notes of black cherry, plum, pipe tobacco, incense, crushed herbs, and a distinct note of graphite that brings Bordeaux wines to mind. Rich and interesting on the palate, with concentrated dark red fruits, fresh earth, mocha, and alluvial minerals. A lively acidity freshens the palate, which finishes with fine grained tannins, making the wine a great food match. Drink 2022-2032." - Chris Peterson, Winemaker
	Steak, Blue cheese burgers, Grilled mushrooms
	Jeb Dunnuck - (94-96) points barrel score "A blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Gravura shows the quality of the vintage with its purity and balance as well as classy notes of blackcurrants, cedar pencil, graphite, and violets. Medium to full-bodied, with both good acidity and plenty of tannins, it’s going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and have 15+ years of prime drinking."
