Tasting note

Ambassador Wines of Washington's 2015 Estate Envoy should suggest blackberry, dark plum and black cherry, with a savory spice aroma. This Red Mountain blend is expected to feel ample and smooth, the rounded tannins softening its ripe fruit while acidity lends a modest lift. Its drinking window ended in 2024, so it now sits beyond the projected span and bottle condition becomes especially important. If the fruit holds, expect a mellow finish of dried berries and earth.
