14 Hands Red Blends
Washington red blend, poured in Commack for thirty years.
The story behind 14 Hands
14 Hands was built by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates in 2005 and named for the wild horses that once ran eastern Washington, compact animals standing roughly fourteen hands high. The fruit comes from the Columbia Valley, grown in loamy sand and gravel soils, and the reds are fermented on the skins five to seven days with pumpovers twice a day to pull color and flavor.
The blend leans on Merlot with Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah filling it out. It rests over ten months in stainless steel and neutral French and American oak, which keeps the fruit bright and the tannins soft. The 2020 Hot to Trot took a Gold Medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
