Winemaker Notes
Some of Washington State’s finest vineyards have provided fruit for the 2021 The Dissident. Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from Quintessence and Henry Earl vineyards form the foundation, with Merlot from Red Willow and Phinny Hill and small amounts of Cab Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot to round out the blend. The Dissident is a wine that we create to complement the Dead Horse and Long Haul, it is built to offer a more approachable wine younger in its development.
