Barnard Griffin ‘Rob’s Red Blend’ Columbia Valley 2022
NYR (2021 Vintage was #32 in Wine Spectator’s 2024 Top 100)
This is a juicy, crowd-pleasing Big Red from Walla Walla and the Columbia Valley. It’s almost equal part Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot – giving it a big, bold frame with lots of plump red and black fruit, some sweet oak and a hint of baking spices. This one actually comes from five different vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley. It’s the ultimate labor of love but it paid off in a big way last vintage, just as all the of the last bottles were being sold of the 2021 vintage. The 2021 ‘Rob’s Blend’ became Barnard Griffin’s first ever appearance on Wine Spectator’s coveted end of year Top 100 list. This one hasn’t been rated yet – but look out! It’s delicious and comes from a great year.

MORE INFO
Barnard Griffin is one of the oldest family-owned wineries in Washington. Rob has been recognized as the longest practicing winemaker in the state of Washington and recently celebrated his 41st vintage.
Rob Griffin, who runs the show grew up in Napa knowing that he wanted to one day be a winemaker and enrolled at UC Davis at the age of 17. Why delay the inevitable?!? He thought. After working in Napa, he moved up to the Columbia Valley and Walla Walla due to the ‘Wild West’ moniker that Washington wine had. That was back in 1983.
With the help of his wife Deborah, the Griffins make it all work and they’ve also recently welcomed their daughter, Megan Hughes, into the fold as Assistant Winemaker and Enologist. These wines are an amazing value made by a dedicated family of winemakers.
