Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of blackberry, currant, and ripe plums, with some herbal notes, as well as a hint of vanilla. Full bodied, smooth on the palate, with ripe and juicy fruit notes, along with a hint of vanilla and smoke on the finish. Enjoy with ribs or slow braised meats.
Borne Of Fire 2017 is a savoury, full-bodied Washington red made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes sourced from the Columbia Valley wine region. The winery is overseen by Chateau Ste. Michelle. Look for juicy ripe cherries, red berry, red plum, green leaf and earthy flavours fresh on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews
