Red Wine Blends

2010 Bombing Range Red (about $16) – This wine features a cool, fighter plane label with pretty bold stuff inside the bottle to match.

This combination of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Mourvedre opens with a slightly smoky/spicy aroma along with some raspberry accents.

On the palate, there are plenty of cherry and berry flavors and a touch of a bittersweet chocolate and coffee on the finish.

Ample tannins require a bit of aeration, and then serve this wine with grilled foods such as burgers or brats.

The wine is produced by McKinley Springs Winery in Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills AVA.
