2018	Pursued by Bear	Red Blend 'Bear Cub' Columbia Valley	A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 1% Syrah, this is a side project for actor Kyle MacLachlan, and it’s a show stealer. Aromas of dark roasted coffee bean, vanilla, black cherry, cedar and spice lead to sumptuous, textured, layered dark fruit and spice flavors. It’s flat-out delicious, putting a premium on hedonism.
