Mark Ryan Winery Premium Three-Bottle Gift Box
Woodinville, Washington
A great way to explore an exciting wine region.
I’ll admit to not knowing a lot about Washington wines, and that only added to the pleasure of discovery I experienced in drinking the three components of a premium gift box from Mark Ryan late in the year. The box included a 2015 Dead Horse, a 2015 Long Haul and a 2014 Lonely Heart. All three had a distinctively concentrated, dark berry, smooth taste that expanded as I drank. Delicious and inspiring, they had me dreaming about a trip to the northwest to better explore what the region has to offer. The Lonely Heart, a cabernet sauvignon, was my favorite. It’s sold out, but I’d try anything that Mark Ryan—a boutique winery that consistently wins high points—has to offer.
