Wine Review: 2010 McKinley Springs Bombing Range Red, Horse Heaven Hills AVA, Washington

The 2010 McKinley Springs Bombing Range Red is a tribute to U.S. troops and the colorful history of the Horse Heaven Hills. During WWII, the land was used as a training ground for fighter pilots.  The U.S. P-40 Hawk fighter planes depicted on the label captures the spirit of this wine. 

The McKinley Springs Bombing Range red blend consists of estate Syrah (56%), Cabernet Sauvignon (22%), Cabernet Franc (12%), and Mourvedre (10%) with fruit forward flavors of bright cherry, blue fruit and white pepper. It is medium-bodied that ends with a smooth and tannic finish of clove and spice. Drink now.

Rating: Very Good (87) | $14 | 13.8% ABV
