Scrublands is an equal-parts Sangiovese–Cabernet Franc blend sourced from certified sustainable Portteus and Copeland Vineyards in the Yakima Valley, vinified with low intervention and bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScrublands 2023 is a savory, chillable expression of Washington's scrubland high desert. It opens with aromas of briar-bramble, dried cherry, and crushed dried herbs, lifted by a faint cedar edge. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and taut, with bright red fruit acidity, dusty tannins, and a smoky, iron-tinged finish that lingers cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lamb kebabs off the grill, lentil soup with crispy shallots and a squeeze of lemon, a plate of aged Pecorino with honey and walnuts, or a slow Saturday dinner with a pot of ribollita barely simmering on the stove.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliott Bay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45816857264324,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/0350\/8676\/files\/DSCF1877-SageRat.png?v=1776874972","url":"https:\/\/www.vivettebottleshop.com\/products\/scrublands-2023","provider":"Vivette Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
