2019 Elocution Red Wine

On the nose, this wine has depth! Plum, blueberry compote, rose, herbs de Provence and you could keep on going.

On the palate, violets, blueberry, spice, beautiful acidity, balanced tannins, and a vibrant lingering finish.

Our Rhone Blend takes on a new name with each vintage with each trying to define a vintage what stood out the most to us. In 2019 we chose Elocution. Elocution is the art of public speaking. Since this was our second time making wine and really our first of any notable volume we felt this was appropriate. What do these two yahoos have to say about wine that's so special? Grab a bottle and see for yourself.

2019 Madrona Bay ‘Elocution’ Red Wine - This is the one red blend that Madrona Bay makes, as this Rhone inspired wine combines 50% Syrah with smaller parts Mourvèdre, Counoise and Grenache. This mostly underwent whole cluster fermentation and was stored in natural oak before bottling. Very smoky and spicy on the nose with ripe roasted fig, blackberry and wild thyme notes. The palate is very fresh, as this comes off a touch lean with light red fruits with exotic spices and charcuterie accents. Drink 2023-2029.
