Dunham Cellars, founded in 1995, has built a strong reputation for crafting balanced, expressive wines from Washington’s Columbia Valley. The region’s diverse microclimates and well-draining soils create ideal conditions for Bordeaux-style blends, allowing for complexity and elegance in every bottle. Trutina is a reflection of this philosophy, combining carefully selected varietals to achieve harmony and depth.

TASTING NOTES: This red blend opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, plum, and cocoa, followed by hints of vanilla and baking spices. The palate is smooth and well-structured, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and a touch of cedar on the finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Herb-crusted lamb, beef stew, roasted portobello mushrooms, or aged gouda.
