2021 Satire
Satire is the essence of truth through humor. True satire must be witty, while simultaneously offering a critique of social issues. Sometimes we're more willing to think when we start out laughing first. We bet you can think of modern jesters who encourage you to think. Our Satire is a thought-provoking Yakima Valley red blend - 57% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot.
Aged in 38% new French oak and 62% neutral French oak for 22 months.

Vinous - TruthTeller 2021 'Satire' Red Blend, Columbia Valley 93 points (Eric Guido, October 2025)
"The 2021 Satire mixes crushed blueberries with shavings of orange, cinnamon and clove. It is seamlessly silken in feel, with polished red and blue fruits underscored by tactile mineral tones, coming across as nicely refined Classically dry and structured, the 2021 leaves a chewy concentration and hints of black cherry to fade. Drinking Window: 2028 - 2034."
James Suckling Wine Ratings - TruthTeller 2021 'Satire' Red Blend, Columbia Valley 91 points (February 15, 2024)
"A merlot-based blend that's tangy and bright with red cherries and cranberries. Light tannins and good acidity lend an appetizing snap to black cherries and blueberries on the palate. 57% merlot, 19% cabernet franc, 19% cabernet sauvignon and 5% petit verdot. Drink now or hold."
