2021 Parabellum Coulee Red Rhone Blend

Force Majeure's second label, same Red Mountain / Walla Walla estate fruit. Syrah-led Rhône blend (75% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre, balance Cinsault + Counoise). Blackberry and dark cherry with peppery herbs, violets, a savory meat-and-clove edge. Silky tannins, full but composed. Jeb Dunnuck 95 pts — "might go undetected in a blind lineup of top Hermitage." Force Majeure pioneered the first hillside vineyard on the steep upper slopes of Red Mountain — a boutique estate of under 3,000 cases that lands in Washington's top tier every vintage.
