Dunham Cellars 2008 Three Legged Red

The Winery:  Dunham Cellars
The Wine: 2008 Three Legged Red
The Price:  $15.74 at QFC

Dunham is a Walla Walla, Washington winery.  They have been making wine since 1995, with their first release being a Cabernet Sauvignon.  Before starting Dunham Cellars, founder Eric Dunham interned at Hogue Cellars and L'Ecole No. 41. Besides making the wine, Eric creates the original artwork for some of the wine.

This wine gets it's name from Eric's dog, who he saved from an attack by another dog.  The wine is a blend of grapes, but the exact grapes and percentages are not listed on the bottle or the company website.  The bottle was stopped with a natural cork and decanted an hour before tasting.

The wine is very dark purple in color and has aromas of plum, black cherry and raspberry.  The wine has flavors of blackberry and cherry.  This wine is incredibly delicious!  It is rich and velvety, and bursting with wonderful fruit yumminess!
