Washington State does such a fine job of creating some lovely wines. 14 Hands makes several wines and for their price point, I would suggest you try them all. They have blends, cabs and merlots.  This clear ruby color wine starts with aromas of mushroom, vegetal, anise.  Flavors of black raspberries and plum and clay chalking soil.   Try some of the reserve wines from 14 hands also/

14 Hands wines are inspired by the spirit of the wild horses that once roamed eastern Washington. A popular area named after these horses was the Horse Haven Hills (see below).  Climate is “right” in the valleys shown below for producing some of the best cabernets and merlot blends in the US.  If you haven’t tried Washington State wines, what are you waiting for?
