Vortex of Yumminess

Townshend Vortex Red is a non-vintage (meaning grapes from a variety of years were used) Bordeaux blend (meaning it has Cabarnet Sauvignon, Merlot and the all-important Cabarnet Franc) swirled together until they collectively embody sipping goodness. This one comes from Washington's Columbia Valley where it can be hot but isn't quite as hot as, say, the Walla Walla area. This leads to grapes--and therefore wines--that are full, but wouldn't fall into most people's "great, big red" category. It'd do well with anything from grilled hamburgers and veggies to pasta salad.
