Rasa Vineyards, Occam's Razor Red Blend, Columbia Valley, 2018

Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional, Petit Verdot
 
Made by a highly awarded Washington State winemaker, Occam’s Razor takes its name from the heuristic known as the law of parsimony: given that everything is equal, the simplest answer tends to be the correct one. In other words, simple methods – like minimal intervention in the vineyards and traditional winemaking processes – result in mind-blowing, unadulterated wine. With its rich bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and spice, and its densely layered flavors of black cherry, tobacco, cedar, and cocoa, this Syrah and Cabernet-based blend easily competes with bottles costing much more. Rhone wine aficionados will love its incredible structure and refinement, and California Cab drinkers will fall for its luxurious and weighty texture.
