2022	Dunham	Three Legged Red	Made from equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, this was stored in almost all neural oak before bottling. Tar and anise combine with rich dark fruits and chocolate on the nose. The palate is fresh and shows good viscosity on the palate. Polished and showing good balance, this medium bodied effort is already showing beautifully right now. A steal at only twenty dollars. Drink 2024-2029	Owen Bargreen	91		2024-06-05

2020	Dunham	Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley	Based on 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Trutina is another terrific wine from this estate. Black cherries, plums, violets, smoky oak, and graphite define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a good mid-palate and outstanding length.	Jeb Dunnuck	91		2024-06-05
2020	Dunham	Red Blend 'Trutina' Columbia Valley	The 2020 ‘Trutina’ combines near equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon that was sourced from a range of Columbia Valley vineyards. Stored for eighteen months in only 18% new French oak, this delvers really nice concentration and mouthfeel upon entry. Black currants parade with copious minerals, kirsch, cigar box and shades of espresso grounds on the palate. This is seriously delicious stuff considering the challenges of the vintage. Enjoy now.

Rich and viscous, with a silky texture, this is drinking beautifully right now. Enjoy now and over the next decade. Drink 2024-2034	Owen Bargreen	93		2024-06-05

A nuanced, instantly satisfying Cabernet Sauvignon for long dinners and excellent pairings.	Tastings.com	94		2024-06-04
