City Limits Citizen Red Blend 2022 750ml

$27.00

City Limits is Woodinville winemaker Morgan Lee's value-priced negociant project, built to get serious Washington vineyard fruit into everyday bottles. The Citizen 2022 blends Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel with a splash of Syrah out of the Columbia Valley, a combination built for immediate drinking rather than the cellar. It's full-bodied, fleshy, and food-friendly at a fair price. Buy it for backyard cookouts, weeknight red-sauce dinners, or anyone who wants Washington fruit quality without the boutique markup.

Grilled herbs, mocha and roasted plum on the nose. Juicy red fruit, black tea and dried herbs on the palate, fleshy and warming, with medium-firm tannins and a soft finish.

Built for the grill: burgers, ribs, anything with char and smoke.

City Limits is the negociant-style, everyday-price project of Morgan Lee, the winemaker also behind Woodinville's Two Vintners; the label sources Columbia Valley fruit from acclaimed Washington vineyard names including StoneTree, Boushey, Evergreen and Milbrandt.
