2018 Kiona Vineyards Columbia Valley Estates Cuvée ~ Why We Love This Red Blend // A Wine Tasting!

Join Suzi Perez, wine lover and founder of Vinmaps, as she tastes and shares one of her red wine obsessions!
The Kiona Vineyards 2018 Columbia Valley Estates Cuvée has become one of Suzi's favorite, easy-drinking, approachable blends. It is surprising to find such a complex, well-balanced, delicious red blend at a price point that is easy on the wallet - especially from such a renowned, quality producer as Kiona.
Kiona Vineyards founder, John Williams, purchased land within the coveted Red Mountain AVA (American Viticultural Area), in 1972. Through the decades Kiona's vineyards on Red Mountain have become sought after for their consistently high-quality fruit. Their Estates now provide source fruit for more than 60 wineries in the Pacific Northwest and the Winery and Vineyard also make some of the best wine in Washington State.
Numerous reds from the Kiona Vineyards portfolio are the producer's more top-tier wines and are definitely worth purchasing. For this video, Suzi wanted to focus on one from the Kiona collection that is an incredible value and one that is perfect to grab and take to your neighborhood barbecue or to a fun dinner party.

Having tried this Cuvée myself I can say it is very tasty indeed. Bold, yet blended nicely.
