Taste | Deep ruby in the glass, this bold red blend opens with aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, and plum layered with cocoa, leather, and savory herbs. The palate is full-bodied and structured, delivering concentrated black fruit, earthy undertones, and vibrant acidity. Firm, well-integrated tannins lead into a long, complex finish with notes of dark chocolate and spice.
About the Winery/Winemaker | Portteus Winery crafts the Rattlesnake Red as a vintage-driven blend sourced from the Rattlesnake Hills AVA. The 2022 growing season brought warm, dry conditions with cool evening temperatures, allowing for excellent ripeness while preserving freshness and structure. The blend evolves each year, guided by what the vineyard delivers best, resulting in a wine that is expressive, balanced, and true to place.
Why We Love It | This is a serious yet soulful red—layered, savory, and built for the table. It has the structure to stand up to rich dishes and the balance to enjoy on its own. A go-to for lovers of bold Washington reds with depth and character.
