A complex red blend of the finest varietals from the Walla Walla Valley, this bottling celebrates the Métis heritage of Founder Jim Bernau's fourth great grandmother Catherine "Kitty" Umfreville Pambrun who worked with her husband Pierre Chrysologue Pambrun to lead Fort Nez Percés in Walla Walla, ushering in a time of peace to the trading post and Columbia Basin.

On the Nose: A complex blend of Walla Walla Valley varietals, the wine opens with lively aromatics of blueberry and jam that play with darker notes of kalamata olive and black tea, reflecting the barrel and terroir.

On the Palate: The present tannins add a fresh intensity to the plum and boysenberry flavors, and the voluptuous palate pulls notes of cedar and leather, offering a balance of fruit and spice.

Food Pairings: Enjoy with savory and aromatic dishes, including steak and mushroom sauce, cedar plank salmon, French onion soup with white cheddar crouton and dark chocolate desserts.

Blend: 30% Merlot, 20% Malbec, 17% Cabernet Franc, 13% Syrah, 11 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot
