2012 Tribute Red Blend, Columbia Valley 1.5L Magnum
This silky red blend offers big fruit flavors and well-integrated, velvety tannins. Aromatics of pipe tobacco, leather and dark fruit layer with ripe boysenberry flavors and a hint of black pepper. The finish lingers with blackberry jam and toasty, graphite back notes. Pair with rosemary and peppercorn-crusted pork loin, lamb burgers or a grilled Portobello sandwich.
Winemaking: Hand selected rows from Elephant Mountain from Yakima Valley AVA, Canyon Vineyard Ranch, and Doval vineyards from the Columbia Valley AVA are the foundation for this red wine. After primary fermentation in open tanks, the wine components were aged in barrel in individual varietal and vineyard block lots for 16 months. After blending, the wine was aged for another 3 months in barrel to allow the wine to harmonize into a seamless blend.
Browne Family Vineyards is dedicated to Andrew Browne's grandfather, who inspired him to be the determined and hard working person he is today. William Bitner Browne dedicated his life and used his abilities to help people, from his heroic efforts during World War II and the Korean War to his tireless commitment to his community and law firm.
Beyond the service to his community, Andrew's grandfather also had a strong appreciation for fine wine. His passion for wine began in the 1930s when he was given the opportunity to study at the University of Bordeaux in France. Decades later Andrew's grandfather entrusted in him that spirit and passion behind great wine. Inspired by his passion, Browne Family Vineyards will continue to make wines that William Bitner Browne would be proud of. Browne is the family name and with it comes a responsibility for quality, craftsmanship and commitment now and in the future.
Browne Family Vineyards was developed to showcase the high quality Washington wine that the world class growers and winemakers produce. Browne Family has been a work in progress for the past fifteen years from the development in the vineyards to selecting the winemaking team that understood the vision of what a great wine meant. The finished product is a wine that over delivers.
