Airfield Founders H. Lloyd Red Blend 2021
This wine pays tribute to H. Lloyd Miller, who founded the Airfield Estate family farm in the early 1900s. He is also considered the father of the Roza Irrigation Canal, which supplies water to 72,000 acres of farmland in the Washington state region. His entrepreneurial spirit provides a great source of inspiration to the Airfield Estate family as they strive to carry on his legacy.
A full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend that radiates sophistication. Aromas of black cherry, cola, plum jam, roasted fig, and subtle graphite captivate the senses. On the palate, it is powerful yet refined, with polished tannins and layered notes of seared leather, crushed vanilla bean, salted chocolate, bramble berry, and delicate hints of incense. The finish is long and luxurious, with lingering notes of dark fruit and sweet, toasted oak. Enjoy now through 2042, with peak expression around 2037.
